Try: Late stage care for crs with alzheimer’s disease or other dementia can be challenging in most cases caregivers have been dealing with physical cognitive and behavioral decline for several years many struggle to make difficult treatment placement and intervention choices for the cr but as the cr’s serious decline becomes more evident it is important to remain involved and committed at the late stages of alzheimer’s disease the cr usually can no longer communicate directly and often is totally dependent for all personal care even in the last stages crs with alzheimer’s disease communicate discomfort and pain pain and suffering cannot be eliminated but as a caregiver you try to comfort the cr managing pain and discomfort requires daily monitoring and reassessment of nonverbal signs communicate observations to family members and health care providers to help determine the cr’s pain situation information references helpguide org
