New San Rafael CA
Study Shows Writing
Slows Alzheimer's
Progression
Elder Manage Care in San Rafael, CA is demonstrating a powerful non-medical solution for
improving cognitive function in the elderly. By prescribing creative writing as a form of
intervention, individuals can experience slower symptom onset, reduced stress levels and
improved quality of life.
According to Social Prescribing USA, 60% of
medical consultations are stress-related.
Medical interventions are not always suitable
but an introduction to purposeful activities a
patient can engage with, has potential to deliver
significant positive health outcomes.
In summary, the Elder Manage Care study indicates that seniors with mild dementia and
Alzheimer's can enhance their memory, slow down cognitive decline, require less drugs and
promote better health by engaging in creative writing as a socially prescribed intervention.
This is important. Doctors often lack appropriate options
other than drugs for treating agitated seniors with
memory care issues. Adopting this new approach could
also deliver health service savings. UK Social
Prescribing saw doctors visits down on average 28%
with accident and emergencies by 24%.
A recent report predicts that 78 million older Americans could be facing memory
care problems by 2030. With projected costs reaching $1.1 trillion each year,
supporting and caring for these individuals poses a daunting task for society. New
approaches are needed.
While most elderly care falls on the shoulders of
family members, this often results in simply
keeping them in a familiar setting without
properly addressing conditions like dementia or
Alzheimer's. It's crucial to explore innovative
methods of in-home care for aging seniors.
The Elder Manage Care approach provides immediate relief through non
medical intervention allowing seniors to remain at home whilst improving
the quality of life of all involved.
Through a collaboration between seniors, caregivers,
and Elder Manage Care professionals in senior's own
homes, life story creative writing demonstrated its
powerful ability to stimulate elderly minds, improve
senior's quality of life and alleviate stress for loved
ones and caregivers.
Caregivers' post study remarks included: "His improvement in
quality of life was clearly evident, he felt engaged and the
collaboration kept him clear, sharp, happy and supported."
"Her depression has lifted for
now and she seems to have a
purpose in life again."
Families with seniors suffering dementia or Alzheimer's are directly impacted by the overwhelming
impact these diseases have. The Elder Manage Care approach provides immediate relief through non
medical intervention allowing seniors to remain at home whilst improving the quality of life of all.
By blending traditional in-home care with
innovative cognitive therapy, families are
equipped to combat and prolong the onset of
debilitating illnesses, ultimately promoting a
healthier overall state for everyone involved.
