Alzheimer’s Care
Alzheimer's Care is specialized care and support for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform daily activities. As Alzheimer's progresses, patients require increasing levels of assistance and care. Alzheimer's care focuses on managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and offering support to both patients and their caregivers.
There are no cures for Alzheimer’s, but certain medications can help manage symptoms or slow the progression of the disease. Cholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., donepezil) to help improve memory and cognitive function. Glutamate regulators (e.g., memantine) to manage symptoms related to brain cell communication. Patients with Alzheimer’s may have other health conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease, requiring ongoing management.
Mental exercises, memory games, and activities designed to stimulate brain function can help improve cognitive abilities and delay decline. As Alzheimer’s progresses, patients may need help with activities such as bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Providing support for these tasks ensures comfort and dignity. Regular social interaction and recreational activities (e.g., music, art, or pet therapy) can help maintain cognitive function and improve mood.
