Alzheimer\u2019s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Can a Person with Alzheimer’s or Dementia Live at Home?<\/h2>

Yes. With the right supportive care, many people with Alzheimer\u2019s and other forms of dementia can age in place and live at home.<\/p>

\u201cMany people with Alzheimer’s continue to live successfully on their own during the early stage of the disease\u2026[You should] arrange for someone to help you with housekeeping, meals, transportation, and daily chores.\u201d – Alzheimer\u2019s Association<\/h4><\/blockquote>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Dementia & Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Care at Home:<\/h3>

If you or an aging loved-one are experiencing memory loss issues, dementia, or Alzheimer\u2019s related challenges, we can help! Call today<\/a>.<\/p>

Alzheimer\u2019s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer\u2019s disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases.<\/p>

Alzheimer\u2019s is not a normal part of aging. The greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer\u2019s are 65 and older. But Alzheimer\u2019s is not just a disease of old age. Approximately 200,000 Americans under the age of 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer\u2019s disease (also known as early-onset Alzheimer\u2019s).<\/p>

Alzheimer\u2019s worsens over time. Alzheimer\u2019s is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer\u2019s, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Alzheimer\u2019s is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Those with Alzheimer\u2019s live an average of eight years after their symptoms become noticeable to others, but survival can range from four to 20 years, depending on age and other health conditions<\/p>

Alzheimer\u2019s has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. Although current Alzheimer\u2019s treatments cannot stop Alzheimer\u2019s from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer\u2019s and their caregivers. Today, there is a worldwide effort under way to find better ways to treat the disease, delay its onset, and prevent it from developing.<\/p>

Alzheimer\u2019s Care Services are for those with needs on a basic level. These services support quality of life through services focused on support and stimulation, rather than hands-on care. These services provide companionship, respite, encouragement and light housekeeping.<\/p>

Our clients that benefit from these services are often the elderly, new and expectant parents, disabled individuals and those transitioning from a hospital or medical facility to home.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
