Why Choose Assisting Hands?
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Symptoms
Alzheimer’s and dementia are rarely identified in their early stages; this is because they develop slowly and worsen over time. But if you notice any signs of this disease, it’s important to develop a plan to help them manage their symptoms to live safely. All of the following are common signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia:- Wandering: Those with the disease get confused often and wander around. This will usually happen when they are looking for someone or something.
- Incontinence: Alzheimer’s and dementia patients in their later stages may experience incontinence due to the loss of control in their bodies.
- Forgetfulness: This is known as one of the earliest stages of dementia, especially short-term memory. They will forget about small things, such as losing their phone, but this will become worse over time as they won’t be able to recognize friends or even family.
- Agitation: If dementia patients know they are limited, they can become frustrated easily.
