ALZHEIMER'S CARE

Foundations Senior Service 

Understanding the Challenge

Navigating the journey of Alzheimer's or any other form of dementia is undoubtedly one of the most challenging experiences for families and caregivers. It's not just about the memory lapses – the impact on cognitive abilities, behavior patterns, and daily routines can be profound. For the family, watching a loved one experience these changes can be heartbreaking.

Recognizing the Signs

Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's or other dementia forms can make a significant difference. It's essential to be alert to the following signs:

  • Frequent memory lapses, including forgetting familiar names or recent events.

  • Difficulty in completing familiar tasks.

  • Struggling with time or place orientation.

  • Challenges in language, such as finding the right words.

  • Poor judgment and decision-making abilities.

  • Misplacing items often.

  • Withdrawal from social activities or work.

If these signs are evident, a prompt medical assessment is vital. An early diagnosis can lead to better management of the condition and an opportunity to tap into available support and resources.
