FAQs About Alzheimer’s Disease

What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological condition that impairs memory, thinking, and behavior over time.

How Does the Disease Progress?
Symptoms typically start gradually, often with mild memory issues, and become more severe—eventually affecting everyday activities like communication and personal care.

Is There a Cure for Alzheimer’s?
Unfortunately, there is currently no cure, but treatments and support can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

How is Alzheimer’s Different from Dementia?
Dementia refers to a range of symptoms related to cognitive decline. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, but not all dementias are Alzheimer’s.

What Increases the Risk of Alzheimer’s?
While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, several factors may increase risk. Some include:

• Age (particularly after 65)
• Family history or genetics
• Cardiovascular conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes)
• Lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, alcohol use, stress, sleep problems)

What Are the Symptoms?
Common signs include:

• Memory loss that disrupts daily life
• Trouble solving problems or planning
• Difficulty with familiar tasks
• Confusion about time or place
• Misplacing things and being unable to retrace steps
• Changes in mood, personality, or behavior

What Kind of Care is Best?
In-home care is often preferred, especially as the disease progresses. It allows your loved one to remain in a familiar environment. If necessary, our team can also help you explore other care options, such as assisted living or memory care communities. 

You might consider moving your parent or loved elder into a nursing home, but that can be tough for someone with Alzheimer’s, as it can feel confusing or overwhelming. Another option is professional in-home care, which allows your loved one to stay in the comfort of their own home.
