Tips For Living By Yourself With Alzheimer's Disease

If you live by yourself and have Alzheimer's Disease, here are a few tips to help you remember people, places and things in your daily life:

  • Keep a notebook with you to jot down important information, phone numbers, names, ideas you have, appointments, your address, and directions to your home.
  • Place reminder notes around your house when you need to remember things.
  • Label your kitchen cupboards and drawers with words or pictures that describe their contents.
  • Place important phone numbers in large print next to the phone.
  • Ask a friend or family member to call and remind you of important things that you need to do in the day, like meal times, medication times, and appointments.
  • Use a calendar to keep track of time and to remember important dates.
  • To remember people you see often, use photos of them labeled with their names.
  • Use an answering machine to keep track of phone messages.
  • Use a dry erase board to write down To Do Lists for the day.
