Dementia is a common condition among senior citizens as an estimated 5 million are affected by various forms throughout the U.S.  These conditions are progressive diseases that start slow and will get much worse over time.  Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia will impair cognitive abilities including memory and make it practically impossible for those affected to live safely without some type of care.

Memory Home Care

Seniors affected by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia feel more comfortable in familiar environments which is why they should receive care in their homes.  Those who remain at home will generally experience less intense mood swings and agitation.  It takes specialized care for those with these conditions to live safely at home which is why it is best for families to get help from trained Alzheimer’s and dementia caregivers.

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia

The term “dementia” is an umbrella term that describes any degenerative condition in which cognitive ability and memory are negatively affected.  Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia as it accounts for 60-80 percent of all dementia cases.  Because all forms of dementia are degenerative, the symptoms will become worse over time.  Short term memory will be affected at first, and eventually those affected will have issues with long term memory and general awareness.

If someone in your family is exhibiting the early signs of Alzheimer’s or dementia, you need to make sure they get the proper care.  Those affected by these conditions can live a better quality of life if they receive care from the beginning stages.  The following are the most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia:

• Forgetfulness: Alzheimer’s and dementia affect short term memory at first but lapses in short term memory are also a common sign of aging. If the lapses in memory are consistent, then it is more likely that your loved one is in the early stages of dementia.
• Wandering: Many affected by Alzheimer’s or dementia may wander out of general confusion or because they are looking for something. They are sometimes looking for a person or thing that may or may not exist.
• Agitation: Those affected by these conditions can often sense their limitations which leads to agitation and mood swings.
• Incontinence: In the later stages of dementia, those affected lose control of their bodies which is why incontinence is a common symptom.
