Although this disease commonly affects the elderly, there are people who develop what is called younger-onset Alzheimer\u2019s. This condition begins to demonstrate itself with mild forgetfulness. As the disease develops, the symptoms become worse, leading to brain impairment and death. A person suffering from late stage Alzheimer\u2019s loses the ability to function and live independently, making in-home care a necessity.\n\n<div class=\"separators-custom-box-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"separators-custom-box\">\n            <div class=\"cta_title\">In-home Caregiver in Calgarysw<\/div>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/alwaysbestcarecanada.ca\/calgarysw\" class=\"c-btn -small -inverted has-icon icon-right\">\n                <span class=\"c-btn__txt\">\n                    GET IN TOUCH           \n                <\/span>\n                <span class=\"c-btn__ico\">\n                    <svg width=\"30\" height=\"30\" class=\"ASD icon icon-lib-icon-arrow1 contact-info__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"#lib-icon-arrow1\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>            \n                <\/span>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\nAlthough the person living with Alzheimer\u2019s is clearly affected, many tend to overlook the effects on loved ones.
