Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Definition and Differences
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, characterized by progressive memory loss, confusion, and changes in behavior. Dementia is an umbrella term that covers a range of memory-impairing conditions, including Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, and others. Understanding the difference is vital to providing the right care and support.
Challenges Faced by Families
Caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s can be emotionally and physically demanding. Family caregivers often experience stress, burnout, and feelings of isolation. Providing quality, in-home care can help ease this burden and allow families to focus on spending meaningful time together.
