Hi I am not an expert but my husband has alzheimers and I have learned quite a few tricks to help him. Anything I need him to do is best done early, before 1:00. He is less likely to be angry or fight me. We clean his room early, bath early and medications early. If I need to discuss something with him it has to be early because afternoons he becomes more disoriented and confused and that is also when he is the most frustrated and angry. I try to make afternoons as plesant as possible but sometimes, Ok most times fall short. You will find your own way of handling these things as the disease progresses because each alzheimers patient reacts differently. That was the hardest lesson I had to learn, there are no set rules or guidelines that tell you what to do I don't think any one can do that this is a learning experience as you go along. Hang in there you will figure it out soon enough and keep asking questions and keep talking it will help you it has me. Living and loving with Alzheimers Connie
