 Alzheimer's Dementia: Alzheimer’s dementia is not a normal occurrence of aging. It is the most common form of dementia, accounting for approximately 50-80% of all diagnosed cases. Dementia is a term used to define loss of memory and impairment in a person’s cognitive function affecting their ability to perform normal daily activities. It is a progressive and debilitating disease that destroys a person’s brain cells. Statistics report that over 5.4 million Americans are affected by this disease. The symptoms may initially develop slowly, with early symptoms that commonly include short-term memory loss (difficulty in remembering newly learned information). This is because Alzheimer changes typically begin in the part of the brain that affects learning. As Alzheimer's disease advances, it leads to increasingly severe symptoms, including disorientation, mood and behavior changes; deepening confusion and increased memory loss; including unfounded suspicions about family, friends and caregivers. This eventually progresses to include incontinence, difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking. Caring for a person with Alzheimer’s or Dementia can become overwhelming at times. One of the biggest challenges a Caregiver will face is tackling the behaviors of the person for whom they are caring. It is difficult to watch your loved one forget so many things that were once very important to them; talk and behave so irrationally and out of character, and appear so agitated and depressed. Have you ever had to stop your older loved one from wandering away? Many families like yours are facing this on a daily basis, and you do not have to face this alone.
