Memory Care in Boca Raton: Identifying the Stages of Memory Loss
In order to choose the most appropriate form of aid for your loved one, you want to have at least a general idea of what stage of memory loss they are in. You can count on your loved one's doctor for more detailed information, but this is a general guide:
- Stage 1 indicates no outward evidence of cognitive decline or memory loss
- Stage 2 may be very mild changes or age appropriate forgetfulness which is more noticeable to the person affected
- Stage 3 mild cognitive impairment which is noticeable to others but still allows your loved one to get through the day
- Stage 4 this stage of moderate dementia begins to disrupt daily tasks and may cause withdrawal for the sufferer
- Stage 5 moderately severe dementia requires frequent assistance and makes it hard to live independently
- Stage 6 severe dementia at this stage forces seniors to have full-time care to prevent wandering and manage personality changes
- Stage 7 very severe dementia is the last stage of the disorder and requires constant care
