Dementia & Alzheimer’s Care

Dementia is an umbrella term for memory loss and cognitive decline that affects daily life, while Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, characterized by specific brain changes. Alzheimer’s often progresses gradually, starting with mild memory lapses and evolving to more significant cognitive and behavioral challenges.

Memory loss typically begins subtly and gradually affects daily functioning. Early stages involve mild forgetfulness, while moderate stages may include confusion, disorientation, and difficulty with daily tasks. In advanced stages, individuals may require full-time support for personal care, communication, and safety.

Common early signs include repeated questions, misplacing items, getting lost in familiar places, difficulty managing finances, mood changes, and withdrawal from social activities. Early recognition helps families plan care and support effectively.
