EP #4: Exploring the Stages of Dementia and Alzheimer's

Comfort Keepers Davie

Have you ever wondered why your elderly loved ones seem more forgetful or exhibit changes in behavior? This episode is your compass, guiding you through the winding path of dementia and Alzheimer's progression. We kick off World Alzheimer's Awareness Month by unpacking dementia, a comprehensive term for memory loss that can be a symptom of Alzheimer's. We underline how crucial it is to recognize early signs in our aging loved ones and understand when it’s time to get professional help. We assure you, though, that not all memory loss is cause for alarm—it could just be a normal part of aging.
As we delve into the details, we dissect the various stages of dementia from the first whispers of forgetfulness, heightened anxiety, and behavioral changes to the more advanced stages. We tackle the potential repercussions of not having a family member accompanying the patient to the doctor's appointments and why knowing your family's health history is vital. We also probe into why insomnia is a common plight among dementia patients. This episode offers a comprehensive understanding of dementia and Alzheimer's progression, shedding light on this significant issue affecting millions globally. Tune in and equip yourself with the knowledge needed to navigate this challenging terrain.
