Frequently Asked Questions My Dad has just been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. What do I do first? The first thing CHS needs to do is an assessment of your Dad to find out what his needs are. My Mom refuses to go to an assisted living facility. What do I do? CHS will help you with the transition and make it as smooth as possible teaching you "it's one day at a time". I promised my Mother I would never put her in a nursing home. What do I do? CHS helps you to deal with the reason why it becomes necessary to place someone in an assisted living, secured unit or nursing home and help you realize you will always be the main caregiver, but sometimes it becomes necessary for a professional to manage your loved one's care. I lose my patience with my husband because he asks me the same questions over and over. What do I do? CHS teaches you techniques on how to cope. My wife is up all night I haven't slept in weeks. What do I do? CHS looks at the situation and decides if placement or home care is necessary I bring my mom her meals and when I come back her meals are left untouched. Why? CHS teaches you that your loved one may not be aware that they're hungry, therefore, leaving a meal for her is not the best thing to do.
