Suitable accommodation for alzheimers sufferer

Upvote:3

Hotels, caravan parks, etc are not geared up for giving the kind of care that an Alzheimer sufferer needs. It's going to depend on whether the person going with them is able to provide the kind of care they need in that environment. I assume that's not the case. (You should probably also check with a healthcare professional as to whether a vacation is actually a good idea for the patient).

However many retirement and nursing homes are geared up to provide respite care, i.e. short stays by a patient who is normally cared for at home, but whose caregivers need a break for one reason or another. You might be able to find one who will take them as a couple, or the 'well' person might be able to stay nearby and visit or take the patient out (or, realistically, take a well-deserved break from the incredibly stressful job of caring full time for an Alzheimer patient). The cost will probably be higher than a hotel.
