Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia affect a large segment of the elderly population, making providing care for them challenging for family members. Many families are turning to home care services to help shoulder the burden of dementia care; home care services are cost effective and can be a lifeline for families struggling to care for elderly loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n
According to the Alzheimer\u2019s Association, there are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n
Alzheimer\u2019s & the Forms of Dementia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nMany people use the terms Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia interchangeably, but these conditions have significant differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDementia is a term used to describe many symptoms that include cognitive and memory impairments associated with aging. Alzheimer\u2019s can contribute to dementia, as can a variety of other illnesses including Parkinson\u2019s disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Huntington\u2019s. Depression, substance abuse and nutritional issues can also contribute to dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlzheimer\u2019s disease accounts for 70 percent of all cases of dementia, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In Alzheimer\u2019s disease, abnormal plaques and obstructions form in the brain, causing important cell connections to be damaged and lost. Autopsies of Alzheimer\u2019s patients often show significant deterioration of the brain, including shrinkage.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile some forms of dementia caused by drug interactions or nutritional deficiencies can be reversed, Alzheimer\u2019s disease cannot, though it can be slowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCategorizing Different Forms of Dementia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nPhysicians typically categorize dementia into two groups based on the affected area of the brain, cortical dementia and subcortical dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCortical dementias are caused by issues impacting the cerebral cortex, which are the outer layers of the brain that facilitate language, thinking and memory. Alzheimer\u2019s disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob both cause cortical dementia. The typical patient with cortical dementia will have problems with memory as well as their ability to understand language and recall words.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSubcortical dementias affect the areas of the brain below the cortex. <\/strong>Patients suffering from subcortical dementias typically do not have problems with language and memory, but rather are affected by thinking slowly and their ability to start tasks. Parkinson\u2019s disease, Huntington\u2019s and AIDS can cause this type of dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDementia is often also categorized by its cause. The following are other common forms of dementia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nVascular dementia <\/strong>is caused by problems with blood flow to the brain and is common among stroke victims and people with serious heart problems.Vascular dementia can develop quickly or slowly over time, based primarily on what issue is causing the condition. Early signs include confusion and disorientation and more advanced cases will show more significant cognitive problems and possibly hallucinations.<\/li>\n\n\n\nLewy Body dementia <\/strong>results from protein build-up in nerve cells that disrupt communication in the brain. People with dementia caused by Lewy Bodies will have many symptoms similar to Alzheimer\u2019s and Parkinson\u2019s.<\/li>\n\n\n\nOlder people with Parkinson\u2019s <\/strong>disease will often develop dementia. Parkinson\u2019s sufferers often develop impairments regarding reasoning and judgment. They also often can become depressed and irritable.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCreutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare cause of dementia.<\/strong> Only about one in a million people are diagnosed with the illness each year. Some symptoms of CJD-related dementia include agitation, depression, memory loss and confusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nHome Care Assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nCaring for a loved one with Alzheimer\u2019s disease or dementia can place a huge burden on families in both terms of money and labor. The CDC estimates that about 15.5 million Alzheimer\u2019s caregivers put in about 17.7 billion hours of unpaid time providing dementia care and Alzheimer\u2019s care.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHome care provides an affordable means of providing Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia patients with the care they need. It also helps give primary caregivers a much-needed break from tending to the needs of their loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHome care professionals can provide a number of services for clients with dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s. Some services home care workers can provide include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nCooking and feeding clients.<\/strong> Cooking can be dangerous for people with dementia, and some may even forget to eat. In-home care workers can ensure seniors with dementia or Alzheimer\u2019s get good, nutritious meals.<\/li>\n\n\n\nHelp getting to the bathroom and bathing<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\nSome basic health care needs <\/strong>such as medications, vital signs monitoring, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\nProviding encouragement to stay active. <\/strong>The more physically and mentally active seniors, even those with Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia, the better their health will be.<\/li>\n\n\n\nCompanionship. <\/strong>Social interaction can go a long way to alleviating dementia symptoms and problems and the depression that many seniors with these issues feel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nAlways Best Care\u2019s Alzheimer’s home care services<\/a> provide an affordable solution for families that need help with dementia care to get the assistance they need.
