ServicesWhat is Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia where a person’s mental functioning becomes impaired. Its symptoms include a declining cognitive function and changes in the personality or usual behavior.
Does Alzheimer’s only affect the elderly?
No. It is not a health condition that is exclusively associated with old age. Alzheimer’s can affect individuals even if they have not turned 65 years old yet. Because of this, it is important to always be observant of your family member by educating yourself and your loved ones about Alzheimer’s.
Is there a cure for Alzheimer’s?
As of present time, there has been no proven remedy for Alzheimer’s but research is on-going in various organizations and medical institutions to hopefully find a cure for the disease. Meantime, there are medical and non-medical care options for families so that the conditions of Alzheimer’s can be effectively managed and a quality of life is still maintained in your home.
What are the symptoms of Alzheimer’s?
The typical symptoms of Alzheimer’s include:
- Repeating statements and questions over and over again
- Losing recollection of conversations previously had with another person
- Forgetting appointments or events
- Misplacing objects used daily
- Forgetting the names of family members
- Forgetting the names of objects or terms that are commonly used everyday
