Getting a Loved One with Alzheimer’s to Accept Care at Home Without a Fight

Many families struggle when a loved one with Alzheimer’s refuses help at home. Even when it’s clear they need carers to stay safe and healthy, they may insist they don’t need anyone — leaving you feeling frustrated, worried, and worn out.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to help your loved one with Alzheimer’s accept home care — without arguments, guilt, or damaging your relationship.

I'll cover:

  • Why people with Alzheimer’s refuse carers or home care — and what they’re really feeling
  • How to introduce the idea of home care in a way that feels safe and supportive
  • Phrases and approaches that reduce resistance and conflict
  • Common mistakes families make when suggesting carers — and how to avoid them
  • How to care for yourself while navigating this challenging stage

✨ By the end, you’ll have practical, compassionate strategies to help your loved one accept the care they need — and give yourself the peace of mind you deserve.

About the Podcast

Lets Talk About Dementia
My Dementia Roadtrip
A show where I talk candidly about Dementia and Alzheimers. I've been caring for my parents who "both" have Alzheimer's / Dementia. All whilst living 165 miles away from them too!
I share what I've seen and experienced, from my own personal perspective. This is a journey that none of us carers ask to be on, however we find ourselves on this journey and each and with every ounce of our hearts, each day, each and every one of us are doing our absolute best.
For every carer and person with Alzheimer's or Dementia, my heart is with you.
