Support for People Living With Alzheimer’s Disease: Local Solutions to Strengthen the Caregiving Potential of Families

Summary/Abstract: As the population ages, it is becoming a challenge to provide dignified care to the growing number of elderly people with Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. In the absence of systemic solutions, the only way to provide dignified care for people with Alzheimer’s disease is to implement local strategies to strengthen the caregiving capacity of families of people living with this disease. The subject of this study was the institutional support of families of people living with Alzheimer’s disease and their families. The cognitive goal of the research was to identify forms of support for such families in Szczecin. The practical goal, in turn, was to identify recommendations for optimizing institutional support. The research procedure used an analysis of foundational data. The forms of support for families in the care of people living with Alzheimer’s disease developed in Szczecin are designed to strengthen the caring capacity of families, in line with the Strategy for Solving Social Problems until 2027. Key forms of support include the only financial benefit in Poland, i.e. “Alzheimer 75 Benefit,” daily support centers for people with Alzheimer’s disease, a day respite care center, and the “Niezapominajka Caregiver Support Centre”, including a mobile team providing support in the home environment.
