ALZHEIMER'S CARE NJ & DEMENTIA CARE NEW JERSEY


Elderly Alzheimer and Dementia
Forgetting things is a normal part of aging. Sometimes, however, it can indicate a more serious problem. A significant decline in mental faculties could be the result of a physical change in the brain. This is known as dementia. The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, destroys brain cells and causes severe memory loss. As many as 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease. Sadly, the patient is never the only one to suffer. Caring for someone with dementia can take a tremendous toll on your own physical and emotional well-being.

The Alzheimer's Association's ten most common signs of Alzheimer's are:
  • Memory loss that disrupts daily life
  • Challenges in planning or solving problems
  • Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure
  • Confusion with time or place
  • Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
  • New problems with words in speaking or writing
  • Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
  • Decreased or poor judgment
  • Withdrawal from work or social activities
  • Changes in mood and personality
Memory loss that is severe enough to disrupt daily life is not a normal part of aging. It may be a symptom of Alzheimer's. If you notice any of these symptoms in yourself or a loved one, please talk to your doctor. Senior Helpers, Alzheimer's Care and Dementia Care NJ is here to help, please contact us
