Alzheimer’s Disease Care

Having a loved one suffering with Alzheimer’s can be particularly challenging and frustrating.

Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common type of Dementia, with over 5 million Americans coping with this disease. One in nine older Americans are diagnosed with some form of Alzheimer’s, with close to two thirds being women.

Helplessly watching a loved one struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease is often one of the hardest things a person can experience. It causes a steady decline in memory, thinking and behavior severe enough to interfere with everyday living and impact their quality of life. Often the changes caused by Alzheimer’s are substantial and worsen with age. Everyday tasks like eating, bathing, and dressing can become major challenges for them, and they may even fail to recognize close relatives. Painful as some behaviors are to experience, it’s critical to their well being to have someone who can provide the kind of personal care and attention they need.
