The Facts About Alzheimer’s

What is Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. In fact, 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases are diagnosed as Alzheimer's.

What Are Common Symptoms of Alzheimer’s?

As we age, our brain naturally begins to slow down when it comes to processing information. Gradual memory loss over time, confusion and a loss in reasoning skills is not normal and can mean that brain cells are failing.

The most common first symptom of Alzheimer’s is having trouble storing and remembering new information. This is because Alzheimer’s effects the part of the brain that processes new and incoming information. Symptoms will become more severe as the disease progresses, and people can experience disorientation, extensive memory loss, behavioral changes, mood swings and confusion about time or events. When the symptoms become moderate to severe, it is important to have a support system that includes professional in-home Alzheimer’s care.

Can Symptoms Worsen Over Time?

Alzheimer’s disease grows progressively worse over time. The first symptoms of Alzheimer’s usually consist of limited memory loss and decreased reasoning skills. Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States, however, the way it is managed can extend someone’s life expectancy from 8 years to 20 or more.

Is Alzheimer’s a Normal Part of Aging?

Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal part of aging. While many people living with Alzheimer’s are over the age of 65, a very small percentage of people experience early-onset Alzheimer’s in their 40s or 50s.

Does Alzheimer’s Have a Cure?

Alzheimer’s disease currently has no cure. While no cure for the disease exists, there are treatments available that can make the symptoms more manageable and improve the person’s quality of life.
