Early In-home Care for DementiaJune 4, 2024
Dementia is a generalized term for when the ability to remember, think, make decisions, and perform daily activities are all impaired. While there are many disorders that can all cause dementia, the most common of them is Alzheimer’s disease. Elderly adults with dementia will inevitably require specialized care. Seniors in the early stages of dementia can typically handle some daily aspects of life. But dementia is a progressive condition, meaning the conditions will only worsen over time. However, with the right care tailored to their needs, seniors with cognitive decline can age with continued independence and dignity in their own homes. Choosing to start care early will not only provide support to your elderly loved one, but also to the family.
