What Is Alzheimer's Home Care?
Alzheimer’s care is support for people living with Alzheimer’s disease. There are many benefits to staying living at home with dementia compared to moving to a dementia care facility. Choosing home care means you are able to remain in your community amongst people you know.
Alzheimer’s Signs and Symptoms
Alzheimer’s symptoms often start off mild but over several years, as the disease progresses, symptoms will often become more severe and eventually interfere with daily life. The most common first sign of Alzheimer’s is memory problems. Memory problems can show in different ways and each person will have a different experience with the disease.
