Symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Dementia

The terms Alzheimer’s disease and dementia can be confusing for many as at times they are used interchangeably when they are different things. Dementia describes several conditions that result in a decline in cognitive abilities. Alzheimer’s disease is a specific form of dementia. No matter what type of dementia your senior loved one has, usually it results in a decline in cognitive ability. Not only do seniors suffering from dementia show lapses in short term memory, but they become less aware of their surroundings and people around them.

 

Catching the symptoms early is important so that you can ensure that your loved one can get the proper care they need. When this is the case, they can have a better quality of life since they can manage their symptoms. Here are some of the symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s:

  • Forgetfulness: Lapses in short-term memory are common in Alzheimer’s and dementia. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish if this is part of aging or a sign of dementia.
  • Wandering: This is a very common activity for those who have dementia. They may experience wandering due to confusion.
  • Agitation: As they feel the limitations based on their condition, they may get upset or agitated and frustrated.
  • Incontinence: Those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia may experience less control of their body including issues with incontinence.

Our caregivers are trained to provide care to those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia. We help manage their symptoms and keep them safe and comfortable. It is also common for them to help ensure they do not wander and provide positive reinforcement to temper agitation and mood swings.

The caregivers and staff at Assisting Hands in the Villages were wonderful. We settled into a regular rotation of caregivers, and they were all beyond kind to my mother. The staff were also very available and accommodating. Our entire family was very happy with the quality care that my mother received, and I feel very lucky that we had such a smooth transition to in home care. Thank you AH!

I can't say enough about this home care business. They were literally on-call for days because my mom was in the hospital during the time when they were scheduled to be with her. We didn't know when she would be discharged, so they were on-call at a moment's notice. My mom loved every health aide. I will keep in touch with the owner, because she's now a friend. THANK YOU! ❤️
