Alzheimer's and Dementia Home Care in North Raleigh & Wake Forest, NC
Dementia refers to a range of conditions that cause a decline in cognitive functions, particularly memory and reasoning. Alzheimer’s disease falls under this umbrella as one specific form of dementia. Data from the Alzheimer’s Association shows that about 7.2 million Americans over the age of 65 are living with Alzheimer’s in 2025. It is also among the leading causes of death in adults aged 65 and older in the U.S.
All types of dementia are progressive, gradually affecting memory, thinking, and daily functioning over time. Early symptoms, such as forgetfulness, may be mistaken for age-related memory changes. Monitoring for these early signs is essential, especially if there is a family history of dementia, to manage their symptoms as effectively as possible.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer’s and other dementias:
- Short-Term Memory Loss: Frequently forgetting recent events or misplacing everyday items.
- Mood Changes or Restlessness: Increased irritability, anxiety, or emotional shifts as individuals become aware of their cognitive changes.
- Disorientation and Wandering: Confusion about time or place can lead to wandering, often in search of familiar people or surroundings.
- Difficulty with Familiar Tasks: Trouble performing routine activities such as cooking, managing medications, or handling finances.
- Incontinence in Later Stages: As dementia progresses, some may experience loss of bladder or bowel control, requiring added personal care support.
