Alzheimer’s Care Alpharetta GA – Finding Assistance During the Three Stages of Alzheimer’s Disease<\/p><\/div>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\n

The Three Stages of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and How You and Alzheimer’s Care Might Need Help<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nEach person will move through each stage differently and may have some areas of their health and functioning affected differently in each stage, but listed next are general outlines of how each stage may affect your loved one and what type of assistance from family or an Alzheimer\u2019s care professional might be needed.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\n

Mild Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Symptoms<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nThis is the stage when most patients are diagnosed with the disease. Some behaviors that family members may begin to notice in this stage are their loved one getting lost more easily, not being able to manage routine financial situations like paying bills, struggling to complete simple tasks, and forgetting important information.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nCare Needs for the Mild Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Stage<\/strong><\/em>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nMany Alzheimer\u2019s patients in this stage may still live in their own homes with regular visits and care from family. Family might help with transportation or paying bills each month. An Alzheimer\u2019s care provider can come to the home and help with simple housecleaning chores. Setting appointment reminders on calendars and alarms can help them remember to perform certain actions when needed.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\n

Moderate Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Symptoms<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nDuring this stage, most patients need round-the-clock care and observation to keep them safe and healthy. The areas of the brain that control language, thoughts, reasoning, and even sensory input are damaged, making everyday decisions difficult for the person. The person may begin to forget familiar people and be unable to follow directions.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nCare Needs for the Moderate Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Stage<\/strong><\/em>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nHaving someone with your loved one at all times is important during this stage of the disease. They will probably need assistance from when they wake up until they go to bed each night. Someone will need to help them get dressed, eat each meal, get in some exercise, and take a bath or shower each night. Alzheimer\u2019s care providers can visit during the day to help encourage social engagement or assist with meals or grooming.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\n

Severe Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Symptoms<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nThe disease reaches its severe stage when the tangles and plaques in the brain have shrunk the brain so much that they lose the ability to for almost all daily functions on their own including eating and toileting. Many stop communicating altogether and might spend the majority of their day sleeping or sitting without any movement.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nCare Needs for the Severe Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Stage<\/strong><\/em>\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nWhile this usually signals that the end is near for the person with Alzheimer\u2019s disease, he still should receive daily care to keep him clean, well-fed, and comfortable. An Alzheimer\u2019s care provider can help the caregiver with washing and feeding, as well as provide the caregiver with a bit of respite by sitting with the person while they run a quick errand or take care of their personal needs.\r\n

<\/h4>\r\nRecruiting a good support team at the onset of the diagnosis can help a caregiver and a loved one transition more easily through each stage.\r\n
