A Study on Adapting Private
Dwellings to Alzheimers Disease
About 80 percent of people with Alzheimers Diseaselive at home with a caregiver, usually a husbandor wife. To learn how caregivers adapt theirhomes to suit both their patients behaviour and their
own needs, a national study was carried outin 1988. The focus of the study was on thepractical physical changes made to privatedwellings to accommodate the behaviour ofpersons with Alzheimers Disease and thespecial needs of their caregivers. The purpose ofgathering and reporting this information was toprovide Alzheimers caregivers with helpful ideasabout practical changes they could make to theirhomes.The information was gathered by means of
elephone and face-to-face interviews acrossCanada and a national mail-out survey ofcaregivers of persons with Alzheimers Disease. Thestudy was carried out by Nancy Gnaedinger,a consultant in gerontology in Ottawa, and wasfunded by the External Research Program of CanadaMortgage and Housing Corporation.

It is very important for people in the community
to be able to identify AD persons. Their name
and address should be clearly marked on an iden-
tification bracelet, which they wear at all times.
Get all the help that you can from family,
neighbours, shopkeepers and hired helpers of
every description.
Where handicapped stickers can be obtained
for the caregiver, apply one to your car so that
you can park closer to shops when out with your
patient.
If you are a spouse-caregiver, go out with
another couple so that someone of the same sex
can take the AD person to the washroom.
Get a visiting nurse to give baths rather than risk
a back injury.
Notify your neighbours and the police of your
patients conditions and ask them to alert you if
the AD person is seen wandering.
