Providing Alzheimer’s Care Services For Our Community
Learn More About Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Alzheimer’s and dementia go hand in hand. As your loved one ages, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the signs and symptoms of these conditions. Too often, conditions affecting the memory go overlooked. Here’s a basic overview of Alzheimer’s and dementia and what to look for:
Alzheimer’s:
This condition affects memory and thinking. It may worsen over time, causing more memory loss and reduced ability to respond to surroundings. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, making up 60 to 80% of cases.
Dementia:
Dementia refers to a more general term for memory loss and reduced ability to think critically. This condition causes a decline in cognitive abilities and can begin to affect behavior and relationships with others. If your loved one has trouble keeping track of their things, can’t remember appointments, or has problems with short-term memory, seek a professional’s opinion.
