Alzheimer’s Report
with it is, putting the people that are affected by in homes, rather than keeping them in
their house where they are comfortable and can be surrounded by family in the last
moments of their lives. And, to top it off, it is very expensive. However, there is an
care-facility, it is alienating them and that is a little bit messed up. “A number of the
social existence. When they participated in an activity, they felt like it was not on the
same terms as for other people” (Erdner). As we alienate people we make them feel less
human and they don’t feel the same. It doesn’t matter what the disease is, whether its
mental disorders they will not feel the same and will start to wonder why they are in
the institution they are in and that could possibly lead to more and more mental health
problems.
when asked about the pros and cons of keeping them at home, she said, that a big part
of what was good about it, was that they are comfortable, they are very okay with being
in their own house. In a paper by Martin Marko he states that people are more
vulnerable when they are in an area where they experience change or adjustment
(Marko).
In conclusion, I believe that it should be left up to the family of the people with
Alzheimer’s to decide if they are put in a institution or not, but I do recommend that
you keep them inside their own house for as long as possible to keep them comfortable
