NIA bɛ dɔ wɛrɛ fɔ: nɛgɛ, dimi kɔnɔ, sɛgɛn dɔgɔ, dugu nɛɲɛ caman, dawa ni dawa ka kɛlɛ.

Mun bɛ se ka kɛ ka tile ladilikan kɛ ka lɔnni kɔfɛ ɲɛfɛ?

Kɛlɛ bɛ kɛ kɛlɛ kɔfɛ, ka waati kɔfɛ tɛmɛn tile kɔfɛ. NIA ni Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ ko ka sɛgɛn ladilikan kɛ. Nin ye tile misali dɔ ye, i bɛ se ka ɲɛfɛ i yɛrɛ ka tile kɔnɔ:

Kuma dɔw min bɛ bɔ sɔrsiraw la:

• Lanpɛ. NIA bɛ fɔ ko i ka kɛ ka taama kɔnɔ walima ka sigi lanpɛ kɔnɔ ka lanpɛ sɔrɔ tile kɔnɔ.
• Kɛlɛ, nka kɛ ka dɔgɔ. Kɛ ka kɛlɛ kɛ tile kɔnɔ, nka kɛlɛ caman kɛ tɛ, NIA ko.
• Ji lɔnni kɔfɛ. Ka alikɔlɛ ni sɛgɛn ji min kɔnɔ kafɛ, i n’a fɔ kafɛ walima kola, lɔnni kɔfɛ, NIA ko. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ nikɔtin fɔ.
• Sɛgɛn. NIA bɛ fɔ ko sɛgɛn dɔgɔ ka kɛ tile kɔfɛ. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ ko sɛgɛn dɔgɔ ka kɛ tile kɔfɛ, ni ko sɛgɛn kɔnɔ ka tɛ ɲɛfɛ.

Ka dɛ tile ladilikan kɔrɔ, i ka dɔnkili ni ladilikan ye.

Mun bɛ se ka kɛ ka dugu nɛɲɛ dɔgɔ lɔnni kɔfɛ?

Nɛɲɛ dɔgɔ, lanpɛ kɔnɔ, ani dɔ dɔ ka kɛ ɲɛ.

• Lanpɛ ka ɲɛ. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ ko i ka dugu lanpɛ ka ɲɛ lɔnni kɔfɛ. Lanpɛ ka sigi ɲɛ sɛgɛn sɔrɔ.
• Nɛɲɛ dɔgɔ. TV ni radiyo ka kɛ dɔgɔ walima ka kɛ ka dɔgɔ. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ ko i ka TV, kɛlɛ ni dumuni nɛɲɛ dɔgɔ lɔnni kɔfɛ.
• Dɔ ka kɛ ka ɲɛ. NIA bɛ fɔ ko sɛgɛn ni dugu ka dɔnkili, ni ko i ka nɛgɛ kɛ dugu kɔnɔ.
• Dimi ɲɛnɛ. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ ko i ka dimi ɲɛ, dɔn, nɛgɛ, dimi kɔnɔ, sɛgɛn, sɛgɛn ni kɔnɔ kɔrɔ, ani ka ji sɛgɛn ka kɛ dɔgɔ.

Mun ye kɛlɛ dɔgɔ min bɛ se ka kɛ lɔnni kɔfɛ?

Kɛlɛ min bɛ kɛ ka gɛlɛn, dɔnkili, ka sɛgɛn, ka kɛ ka dɔgɔ ka se ka ban. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ kɛlɛ dɔgɔ min tɛ dimi kɔnɔ: dumuni dɔgɔ, foto, walima sanmuru min bɛ ka kɛ, ani taama ni mɔgɔ dɔ. NIA bɛ fɔ dumuni walima ji dɔgɔ, TV sanmuru min bɛ ka kɛ, dumuni, taama, kalan, walima kɛlɛ dugu kɔnɔ, i n’a fɔ sɛgɛn sanmuru kɛ.

Kɛlɛ min bɛ se ka kɛ:

1. Sanmuru kɛ ni ɲɔgɔn ye. NIA bɛ fɔ kɛlɛ dugu kɔnɔ nin. Fɛnw ka se ka ta, ka kɛlɛ dɔnkili.
2. Dumuni min bɛ ka kɛ. Dumuni min bɛ ka kɛ ka fɔ ka dɔ ni u kɔnɔ, ka dɔ dɔgɔ. Ka hɔrɔnya ka kɛ ka hakili. Dumuni caman dumuni kɛlɛw kɔnɔ.
3. Foto ka ɲɛ. Foto kɔnɔ, walima foto dɔw min bɛ Photo Pairs kɔnɔ ka foto ɲɛ, o bɛ se ka kuma dɔgɔ kɛ.
4. Taama dɔgɔ. Sɛgɛn ka kɔnɔ, sira ka kɔnɔ, walima kɔnɔ kɔrɔ, lanpɛ ka dɔgɔ tuma la.
5. Sɛgɛn ni ji ɲɔgɔn fɛ. Dɔ dɔgɔ, dumuni ka kɛ, ji dɔgɔ min tɛ kafɛ, tabali kɔnɔ ɲɔgɔn fɛ.
6. Ɲɛnɛma dɔgɔ. Picture Pairs ni tile naani ani foto ɲɛ, o ka se ka daminɛ ani ka ban.
7. Kalan. Coloring sanmuru kɔnɔ walima kɔnɔ kɔnɔ, ka kɛ ka ban tɛ.
8. Ɲɛ ni kuma. Conversation Cards bɛ foto ni kuma dɔgɔ di. Ka ɲɛ kɛ ka sɔrɔ.
9. Ɲɛfɔ jɔ. Calm Breathing ye ɲɛfɔ dɔgɔ ye min i yɛrɛ bɛ daminɛ ani ka ban.
10. Bolo kɛlɛw. Bɔnɔ walima sɔkɔ sɔrɔ, sɛgɛn min ka ca ka dɔgɔ, walima fɛn min bɛ ka kɛ. A ye sensory activities ye.

Kɛlɛ kura, taama caman ni hakili caman ka kɛ tile kɔfɛ, o ka ban. O kɛlɛw kɛ wulufɛ.

Mun kɛ ka kɛ hɛrɛ-hɛrɛ daminɛ tuma la?

Hakili sabati, kɔrɔ dɔ, ka sɛgɛn ka kɔrɔ. NIA bɛ fɔ ko ka kuma ka sɛgɛn, ka mɔgɔ ka dɔn-dɔn lɔn, ka kɛlɛ kɛ ka kɛlɛ ka ban, ka fɔ ko a bɛ ɲɛ, ani ka kɛ ka kɛlɛ dɔgɔ ka ɲɛfɛ dɛmɛ. Tuma min na, ka dɔnkili kɛ: dumuni, ji, dumuni walima taama.

Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ kuma dɔw: “I bɛ ɲɛ yan” ani “N bɛ ɲɛ ko i bɛ dimi.” A bɛ fɔ ko lanpɛ, sɛgɛn ni kɛlɛ dɔgɔ kɛ. Aw kɛ ka mɔgɔ ka kɛ kɔnɔ ni ka mɔgɔ ka kɛ kɛlɛ dɔgɔ tɛ.

Ni mɔgɔ bɛ kɛ ka ɲɛ kɛ hɛrɛ kɔrɔ, NIA bɛ fɔ ko i ka tɛmɛ ni a bɛ sigi ka ɲɛ ka ban. Hɛrɛ kɔnɔ, i ka wele dɛmɛ nimɔrɔ min bɛ i ka siraba la, ka a fɔ ko mɔgɔ min bɛ dimi dementia ye.

I ka kuma ka kɛlɛ ni a ka kɛ ko ɔn-ɔn fɔ kɔnɔ, ka kuma caman sɔrɔ.

Mun bɛ se ka kɛ ka dɔn dɔ ka sababu?

Jurunali dɔgɔ ka kɛ don kelen walima fila. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ ko i ka ɲɛfɛ ka dɔn mun bɛ kɛ sundowning kɔfɛ. Kɔ ka dɔn hɛrɛ daminɛ waati, sɛgɛn kɔfɛ kɛlɛ, dumuni walima ji, mɔgɔ, dugu ni lanpɛ. I ka jurunali nin fɛ dɔkitɔrɔ ye. NIA bɛ fɔ ko jurunali ka kɛ dɛmɛ ka dɔn kɛlɛ dɔw.

Dɔkitɔrɔ ka wele tuma juman?

Ni hɛrɛ-hɛrɛ kura ye, ni a bɛ kɛ ka nɛnɛ, walima ni kɛlɛ wɛrɛw bɛ kɛ, o kɔnɔ, i ka wele mɔgɔ ka dɔkitɔrɔ. NIA bɛ fɔ ko dɔn-dɔn sɛgɛn ni dɔn-dɔn, dawa kɔnɔ kɛlɛ kɔfɛ, i ka wele dɔkitɔrɔ ka kɛ ka sɛgɛn.

Ka dɔkitɔrɔ ka kɛ ka dɔn dimi min bɛ kɛ kɛlɛ ka gɛlɛn. Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ nɛgɛ, dɔ ka dimi, sɛgɛn dɔgɔ, ani sɛgɛn ka kɛ. A bɛ fɔ ko i ka dɔkitɔrɔ ka dawa min tɛmɛ ni waati juman ka kɛ ka ɲɛ. NIA bɛ fɔ dimi, kɔnɔ dimi ni dawa kɛlɛ dɔgɔ kɛlɛ.

Alzheimer’s Association bɛ fɔ ko dawa tɛ ka kɛ kɛlɛ dɔgɔ ye ka kɛ sɛgɛn kɔfɛ kɔnɔ, nka ni kɛlɛ tɛ kɛ, dawa ka kɛ ka dɔn ka nafa ni kɔrɔ sɔn. O kɛlɛ ye dɔkitɔrɔ ka ye. Dawa, sɛgɛn dawa, walima dɔ dɔgɔ kɛ, i ka tɛ kɛ dɔkitɔrɔ ka kɔrɔ tɛ.

I yɛrɛ ka lɔnni kɔfɛ mun na?

Lɔnni kɔfɛ bɛ se ka kɛ mɔgɔ ka tile kɔnɔ kɛlɛ ka gɛlɛn. Ni i bɛ se, i ka mɔgɔ dɔ, teri, walima wari kɛlɛ dɔ ka lɔnni kɔfɛ ka kɛ tile kelen, dɔ dɔgɔ kɔnɔ. caregiver self-care páji bɛ fɔ dɛmɛ caman, ani Alzheimer’s Association 24/7 Helpline, min tɛ wari.
