Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide. As one of the most common forms of dementia, it poses significant challenges not only to those diagnosed but also to their families and caregivers. Recognizing the risk factors and early signs of Alzheimer’s is crucial for early intervention and effective management of the condition.

We greatly care for our patients, and it is our mission to provide them with compassionate support and personalized care options tailored to their unique needs and preferences.

Understanding the risk factors associated with Alzheimer’s can help individuals and their loved ones make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Alzheimer’s can affect individuals of all ages, albeit it is more prevalent in older adults. Other risk factors include genetics, family history of the disease, lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise, cardiovascular health, and traumatic brain injury.
Recognizing the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s early on is crucial for timely intervention. While memory loss is often the most recognized symptom. Alzheimer’s disease encompasses a range of cognitive, behavioral, and functional changes. These may include:
Memory Loss:
Difficulty remembering recently learned information, forgetting important dates or events, relying heavily on memory aids, or asking for the same information repeatedly.
Difficulty Problem-Solving:
Challenges with problem-solving, planning, organizing tasks, following recipes, or managing finances.
Confusion and Disorientation:
Becoming disoriented in familiar places, losing track of time or dates, and also having difficulty understanding spatial relationships.
Language and Communication Problems:
Struggling to find the right words or following conversation. Individuals may also repeat themselves or have trouble following instructions.
Mood and Personality Changes:
Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, or changes in personality and behavior.
Difficulty Completing Familiar Tasks:
Trouble performing routine tasks such as cooking, dressing, or managing household chores. Individuals may require assistance or exhibit a decline in their ability to carry out familiar activities.
Misplacing Items:
Frequently misplacing items, putting them in unusual places, and struggling to retrace steps to find them.
Decreased Judgment and Decision-Making Abilities:
Making poor decisions, showing impaired judgment, or falling victim to scams or financial exploitation.
Withdrawal from Hobbies and Social Activities:
