Alzheimer’s disease affects as many as 5.1 million Americans across the nation. Even though there isn’t a cure for this fatal brain disease, treatments, and home care solutions can slow the progression and allow those with it to have a higher quality of life.
Do you believe that your loved one may have Alzheimer's? If so, you should get them to a physician immediately. The sooner you bring in a doctor, the sooner they can get a diagnosis and the sooner they can make a plan for Alzheimer’s care.
Be sure to know these 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s:
Challenges in planning or solving problems:
Memory loss that disrupts daily life
Confusion about time or place
Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home or work
Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships:
New problems with words in speaking or writing:
Decreased or poor judgment when making decisions
Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
Changes in mood or personality
Withdrawal from work or social activities
If someone that you care about has any of these symptoms, it’s important to get them evaluated by a physician. Many of these symptoms can be mistaken as a normal part of aging. Alzheimer’s is so much more than basic forgetfulness. Most people will experience a symptom or two in a varied way. But, for those with Alzheimer’s, the symptoms will gradually get worse and more frequent with time.
Once a diagnosis is made, it’s important to be proactive as you make decisions for your loved one’s care. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, here are a couple of basic tips.
Take care of financial, legal, and long-term care planning issues sooner rather than later.
Educate yourself about the disease.
Arrange for respite care and/or regular professional care
Prioritize cognitive stimulation.
Build a support system.
