What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s Disease is a type of dementia which causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Initial symptoms of Alzheimer’s slowly begin with memory loss and eventually lead to affecting cognitive and functional abilities such as activities of daily living.
Seniors who are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease can no longer carry out independent lives and lean on others for assistance with daily living activities, tasks and chores. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life.
Assisted living allows Alzheimer’s individuals to continue living their lives with help in the areas they have most difficulties with. Depending on the severity level of Alzheimer’s, assistance can range from daily medication reminders down to full assistance with feeding.
