Symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Although Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are terms that are used interchangeably, they do not mean the same thing. Dementia is a general term that encompasses many conditions that show cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia. Whatever type of dementia your loved one may have, they will show a decline in cognitive ability. The initial symptoms may be mild, but over time they may get worse.
If the symptoms are caught early and your loved one gets treatment for their condition, they can experience a better quality of life. These are the most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s and dementia:
- Forgetfulness: Memory loss is common with those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. It may range from small to consistent lapses of short term memory.
- Wandering: Many seniors suffering from dementia will wander since they are confused but may be looking for someone or a specific place.
- Agitation: As the diseases progresses, many seniors are limited in what they can do and they can get frustrated. This may cause them to display bouts of agitation.
- Incontinence: If your loved one has reached a later stage of Alzheimer’s and dementia, they may lose control of their bodies which may lead to incontinence.
Our dementia caregivers are highly trained in working with those who have dementia. They will make sure that your loved one is safe and comfortable. They will also use positive reinforcement to help with agitation and mood swings.
