Dementia regulars' table in Reutte: Exchange for caring relatives!

Reutte, Österreich - in Reutte there is a place where members of dementia suffer regularly: the dementia regulars' table has established itself as a valuable contact point in the past ten years. These meetings take place every third Monday of the month at 6 p.m. in the seminar room of the Hotel Mohren. Here, around three to 15 people can exchange ideas and share their experiences and challenges that maintain the care of dementia patients. As reports the Meinzirk.at platform, the regulars' table not only offers a platform for discussions, but also a protected space for trust and confidentiality.

dementia is a disease that affects many people regardless of their origin or lifestyle, but mainly older people. The course of the disease is creeping and often progressive, but healing has not yet been possible. That is why it is all the more important to recognize and treat the signs early. Alois Gratl and Elisabeth Schuster have extensive knowledge of dementia and are available to help and advise relatives. In recent years, it has been shown that many affected people are cared for by their family members at home, but often reach their limits. It is therefore important to get information and psychosocial support.

support and exchange for relatives

A central concern of the regulars' table is to help relatives who often feel overwhelmed. As explained on nursing.de, it is crucial to obtain information about offers of help and support systems in good time. Care degrees that are found through the medical service or comparable institutions enable grants for care and additional help in everyday life. With a level of care 1, relatives are entitled to a monthly relief amount of 131 euros.

The topics of the regulars' meetings rotated for practical experience in dealing with dementia and coping with mood swings and changes in behavior in sick people. In addition, specialist lectures by doctors, lawyers and nurses are organized in order to provide relatives further knowledge. Self -help groups play an important role here, because they not only offer emotional support, but also information on legal and medical questions that relatives often burden. It is important not to neglect your own needs and also use relief options so as not to develop yourself.

If you are interested, you can take part in the Hotel Mohren in Reutte on Monday, June 16, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Information about further offers and self-help groups is also available at local nursing support points or self-help contacts, as can be found on Wegweiser-Demenz.de. Virtual self -help groups also offer offers for relatives who are currently heavily involved or live in rural regions. Ultimately, it is about promoting being together and the exchange, since many relatives can be in similar situations and can learn from each other.

Interested parties should never hesitate to use information and, for example, to network via the "Inktakt" app "We maintain". Every exchange can help make the often difficult everyday life a bit easier.
