\nCommon Forms of Dementia\n<\/h3>
\nWhen we use the term dementia, we are referring to a complex variety of symptoms, causes, and forms of cognitive decline. What unites them all is memory loss, in many cases accompanied by an impairment of other functions of the brain, including the ability to communicate, solve problems, and make judgments. Caring for a person with dementia can be an emotional experience, particularly if they experience changes in personality. That\u2019s why our caregivers use scientifically proven strategies to alleviate dementia\u2019s challenges and support families affected by them. We have helped seniors living with many forms of dementia, including but not limited to:\n<\/div>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\nAlzheimer\u2019s Disease\n<\/h5>
\nAlzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. It occurs when brain cells called neurons stop working, lose connections with other neurons, and eventually perish. This causes progressively worsening issues with memory, confusion, personality changes, and more.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\nCreutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)\n<\/h5>
\nCJD is a rare condition in which brain proteins called \u201cprions\u201d fold into abnormal shapes. The irregular proteins build up rapidly, destroying brain cells much more quickly than other types of dementia.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\nFrontotemporal Dementia (FTD)\n<\/h5>
\nFTD isn\u2019t one type of dementia, but a category of diseases involving progressive nerve cell damage in regions of the brain responsible for personality, language, and behavior. FTD is characterized by extreme behavior changes beyond the person\u2019s control.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\nLewy Body Dementia (LBD)\n<\/h5>
\nIn people with LBD, brain proteins build up into abnormal clumps that interfere with normal brain signals. This can lead to trouble with thinking, memory, behavior, movement, and sleep.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\nVascular Dementia\n<\/h5>
\nPeople with vascular dementia experience a reduced supply of blood flow to the brain, which interferes with memory, reasoning, communication, judgment, and other thought processes.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n
\nMild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)\n<\/h5>
\nMCI is any noticeable memory loss or decline in thinking skills that affect everyday life. These changes are not severe enough to result in a dementia diagnosis, but still impact a person\u2019s ability to live alone safely.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>
