\"dementia-home-care-Summerlin,Symptoms Of Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia<\/h2>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease and other forms of dementia are slowly developing diseases that worsen over time.\u00a0 If you notice your loved ones are showing the early signs of dementia, it is important to develop a care plan to help manage their symptoms and ensure they can live safely.\u00a0 Assisting Hands Summerlin, NV can help. The following symptoms are common among those suffering from Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Forgetfulness:\u00a0<\/strong>One of the earliest signs of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia is the loss of short-term memory. Those affected will start forgetting simple things like where they left the remote control.\u00a0 Memory loss will progressively get worse until those affected forget where they are and can\u2019t recognize friends or family members.<\/li>\n
  • Wandering:\u00a0<\/strong>It is common for those with dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s to get confused and begin wandering around. This often happens when they forget where they are or are looking for someone or something.<\/li>\n
  • Incontinence:<\/strong>\u00a0Those in the later stages of Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia may experience incontinence because they lose control of their bodies.<\/li>\n
  • Agitation:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes those with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia are aware of their limitations and this causes them to get frustrated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    At Assisting Hands Summerlin, NV our caregivers can effectively respond to these common symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.\u00a0 We will accompany your loved one if they start to wonder to ensure they stay within the home and don\u2019t fall or hurt themselves.\u00a0 We can also help calm those who become agitated and help those who suffer from incontinence.<\/p>\n

    In-Home Memory Care in Summerlin, NV<\/h2>\n

    Alzheimer\u2019s and other types of dementia often begin gradually but progress steadily over the years. By recognizing symptoms early and developing an appropriate memory care<\/strong>\u00a0plan, life for everyone involved can be made easier.<\/p>\n

    For example, Alzheimer\u2019s patients can struggle with stamina, problem-solving, and other key skills required to navigate life safely. Through our services and expertise, we will not only keep them safe but provide daily care and assistance. It is most beneficial to develop a plan while communication is still effective.<\/p>\n

    At Assisting Hands Summerlin, NV, before we begin in-home care, we will meet with family members to determine what exactly is needed. Our services vary from person to person, but typically address some combination of the following:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Wandering:\u00a0<\/strong>Perhaps the greatest benefit of our Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia care services is safety. Individuals suffering from memory loss frequently wander around and fail to recognize the situation. If the room is dark or cluttered, or the individual is fatigued, an accident can easily follow. Our Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia caregivers will stand by to prevent accidents from occurring, lock exits to keep your loved one from accidentally leaving the home, and ensure stovetops and sinks are shut off (among other things).<\/li>\n
    • Companionship:<\/strong>\u00a0Mental stimulation and socialization are key elements of any effective\u00a0in-home memory care<\/strong> service. Regular communication can improve the individual\u2019s mood and combat the effects of memory loss to an extent. Our compassionate, one-on-one care can mitigate confusion and frustration, especially during difficult times of the day such as the night.<\/li>\n
    • Nutrition:<\/strong>\u00a0Skipped meals are a major problem for individuals struggling with dementia. Operating cooking equipment can also be very dangerous for them. Our caregivers can provide daily meal preparation services to eliminate these risks.<\/li>\n
    • Medication Reminder:<\/strong>\u00a0Dementia patients often forget to take important medication. Industry data shows that medication non-adherence is responsible for up to 33% to 69% of medication-related hospital admissions. Our caregivers will ensure your loved one takes the proper dosages of required medication at prescribed times. We can also monitor prescription refills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
