Alzheimer’s disease is a disorder of the brain that gets worse and dangerous with the passage of time. It badly affects memory, thinking power, and behavior. As it progresses, it becomes difficult for a person day by day to do simple daily tasks and even communication becomes a challenge as it worsens. Every individual going through Alzheimer’s experiences different symptoms and conditions. Scientists and researchers think Alzheimer’s is caused by a blend of genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Symptoms generally start gradually and develop over time,often years before big problems with memory start to show up.
Alzheimer’s has different stages through which the patient goes through. Families must need to understand these stages to prepare for the changes their loved ones are going to experience. Each phase has its own challenges and care requirements.
Alzheimer’s disease symptoms vary from person to person and thus,requires customized care and support as per the stage. In the early stages, individuals can maintain independence while requiring less assistance. Care strategies focus on maintaining cognitive function through basic engaging activities ensuring creativity and innovation, and social interactions. With the progress of disease, care needs to be changed,and more support requirements with routine tasks increase, safety and emotional well-being becomes more crucial and concerning. Communities like Lakeshore Woods offer personalized programs to enhance cognitive strength and social engagement.Understanding the sensitivity of advancement of disease help families to figure out care challenges and alert them to make informed decisions.
This middle or moderate stage lasts for several years and often requires exceptional support. Individuals suffering through Alzheimer’s may become more confused and stressed, and start to face difficulty recognizing places or people which were once familiar, and may severely struggle with managing personal routine tasks such as dressing, eating or bathing.
Lakeshore Woods’ care team works compassionately with residents and their families during this difficult time to provide them support and comfort. Different programs on a routine basis are organized to help reduce anxiety, while personalized care plans make sure that each resident receives the attention, empathy and guidance. Alzheimer’s patients need a nurturing, respectful and compassionate environment for a better lifestyle.
In the final stage, that is the severe stage of Alzheimer’s, individuals facing Alzheimer’s often lose the ability to communicate consistently and understandably, they may deny recognition of faces which were once familiar, or completely lose the ability to perform most daily routine works.
