Understanding and Managing Dementia and Alzheimer’s to Enrich the Lives of Seniors

Memory issues like the forms of dementia and Alzheimer’s are severe diseases that significantly affect the quality of life of sufferers. Many think the only solution for adequate care is to place seniors with memory issues in a facility. Few are aware of other management and care solutions like Alzheimer’s and dementia home care services from ComForCare. Home care services designed for seniors with memory issues improve their quality of life with effective, compassionate assistance that preserves independence and dignity.

DementiaWise® is a specialized program that opens up the possibilities of Alzheimer’s and dementia home care services to more seniors in Oakbrook, Illinois. DementiaWise ® has a dual purpose of providing safe, adequate care for seniors with dementia and Alzheimer’s in their homes and educating families about the disease. It reflects our mission of caring for seniors and giving peace of mind to those who love them the most. The professional caregivers providing care to seniors with memory issues are trained in our proprietary DementiaWise® program to manage the disease and enrich their lives simultaneously by:

Decreasing Challenging Behaviors – Specialized techniques with proven effectiveness are used to keep seniors with memory issues calm, happy, and engaged. Dementia has many stages, with the worst being the most debilitating. The earlier stages can be managed best by keeping older adults’ emotional states positive and stable. Our talented caregivers know how to maximize the happiness and engagement of seniors in ways that keep challenging (and potentially dangerous) behaviors to a minimum.

Stimulating Remaining Abilities – As all forms of dementia and Alzheimer’s progress, tasks that once were simple to perform become difficult. Memory degradation can be slowed by stimulating seniors to engage in activities they wouldn’t normally do at a facility or on their own. With encouragement, support, and companionship, seniors will hold on to their remaining abilities longer. Families will also find the same motivation and confidence in seeing the results of DementiaWise® on their loved ones. Dementia and Alzheimer’s home care services from ComForCare are better than a facility for many seniors because of the stimulation and preservation of as much independence as possible.

Exploring the Science of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the brain's cognitive functions. It is the most common cause of dementia, responsible for approximately 60-80% of all dementia cases. The disease typically starts with subtle memory loss and difficulty in recalling recent events, which may be mistaken for normal aging initially. However, as Alzheimer's progresses, it impairs other cognitive abilities, including language, problem-solving, decision-making, and spatial awareness.

The hallmark features of Alzheimer's disease are the presence of abnormal protein deposits in the brain. Amyloid plaques and tau tangles accumulate between nerve cells, leading to the dysfunction and perishing of brain cells. These changes primarily affect the hippocampus, a brain region essential for memory formation, learning, and emotional regulation. As the disease advances, the damage spreads to other areas of the brain, resulting in widespread loss of brain cells and significant brain shrinkage.

The progression of Alzheimer's disease can be broadly categorized into three stages: early/mild, middle/moderate, and late/severe stages. In the early stage, individuals may experience mild memory loss and subtle cognitive difficulties. As the disease advances, memory problems become more apparent, and individuals may struggle with language, orientation, and daily tasks. In the late stage, severe cognitive decline leads to a loss of ability to communicate, recognize loved ones, and perform basic self-care activities.

Recognizing the Signs & Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease

After age 65, the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease significantly rises, although younger individuals may also be affected. Typically, short-term memory loss marks the initial noticeable change. During the early stages, individuals might:

Display uncharacteristic behaviors or experience personality changes
Struggle with financial management or bill payments
Take more time to complete familiar tasks than usual
Experience more confusion, get lost, or wander
Repeatedly ask questions
