You Can Think About Alzheimer’s as Having Four Separate Stages:

1. No symptoms: This pre-clinical stage is often without symptoms, and your loved one can remain independent.

2. Mild symptoms: At this stage, you and your loved one might begin to wonder if Alzheimer’s or another diagnosis is needed, and it is important to seek medical help as you start to see symptoms. The most common symptoms are forgetfulness, or misplacing items more frequently. This mild stage usually lasts around two years.

3. Moderate symptoms: At this stage, your loved one has likely received the appropriate diagnosis from their doctor. They probably need help with everyday tasks and living independently is no longer possible. Changes in behavior might occur (like increased confusion or anxiety), and people or events can be hard to recall.

4. Severe symptoms: When your loved one experiences severe symptoms and they may need to rely completely on assistance for daily needs. Communication, speech, and self-expression can be severely limited at this stage.

Care Plans that Evolve with Your Needs

Every care plan we administer is designed to be easy to adjust alongside your loved one’s health status. With regular communication from your caregiver, you will know when new or different needs arise in the life of your loved one, and we can adjust your care plan to meet those new needs.

An Alzheimer’s or dementia diagnosis does not mean your loved one will have to immediately uproot and go to a care facility. Alzheimer’s home care from Visiting Angels of Schererville can help your loved one maintain their independence, preferences, and choice.
