Alzheimer: The Foe of The Aged

In this blog we shall put our focus to understand one of the most common issues with a large section of elderly people: Alzheimer disease. The modern world has envisaged the rise of many diseases. The modern world has seen the rise of new types of diseases. Sadly, some of them do not have a cure and are either chronic or progressive. And unfortunately a lot of these common complications are chronic in nature. 

Here, we shall talk about Alzheimer, one of such complication. 

Let us start by understanding dementia. Dementia cannot be declared as a specific disease. Rather, it is a general term commonly used for a progressive deterioration and subsequent decline in mental processes of the brain, thereby hindering the normative functioning of the brain. The effects of dementia can largely vary from memory loss to language problems and problem solving. Although common among old people, dementia can affect adults belonging to any age group. 

And Alzheimer’s disease is the one type of Dementia. It is the most common form of dementia. It is a neurodegenerative complication, which is progressive in nature and hence it will only get worse over time. It results in behavioral changes, obstructed memory, and disoriented and disordered judgment. It is not a product of aging. 

If your elderly loved one is suffering from this complication, it becomes very important that they are constantly monitored and looked after. It becomes necessary that they are taken care of and their needs are monitored and checked all the time. This is where an elderly care home can come to aid. Why? Because we may fail to look after them all the time during the day, owing to our busy and hectic schedule. For elderly care homes, consider Pyari Maa Foundation.
