Understanding Alzheimer’s

If you’re helping a loved one who is coping with Alzheimer’s or Dementia you are not alone. Nearly 16 million family members are caring for an adult senior who requires supervision or assistance. Although Alzheimer’s and Dementia have similarities; most people confuse Alzheimer’s with Dementia. Alzheimer’s is a disease. Dementia on the other hand, is a precursor to Alzheimer’s, affecting individual cognitive abilities and then slowly diminishing memory, contributing to physical disabilities. Most of the time dementia consists of symptoms that include loss of memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. It can also cause personality changes. This may be signs that they need an alzheimer’s caregiver.

In addition, general knowledge may be retained, however personal memories of experiences, such as names, can be forgotten. Alzheimer’s disease is now one of the top 10 leading causes of death in the USA.

 

Get Help for Alzheimer’s

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or Dementia can be stressful and lead to exhaustion. As symptoms progress, 24 hr. supervision will be needed, including assistance with all daily living activities to ensure safety, comfort, and well being. Statistics show 61% of family caregivers reported significant emotional stress and 43% have reported physical stress from caring for someone with Alzheimer’s.

Our trained memory care caregivers can assist with the daily household help they need. This includes structured activities, brain health activities and daily household assistance to help slow the symptoms of the disease. Likewise they can assist with chores, light cleaning, and cooking. Having a helpful, compassionate and extra attentive household helper can relieve the stress of caring for a loved one struggling with Alzheimer’s.
