Imagine the complexity and challenges it causes for seniors and their families.<\/p>\n<p>Dementia is a serious illness and Alzheimer\u2019s disease is the most common form. The disease slowly depletes one&#8217;s cognitive function and memory.<\/p>\n<p>As the disease progresses, simple things such as bathing, preparing meals, and toileting become almost impossible. To bring awareness to Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and the significance of <a href=\"https:\/\/vancouver.comfortkeepers.ca\/in-home-elder-care-services\/alzheimers-disease-dementia-care\/\">Dementia Care<\/a>, we\u2019ve composed a few tips for those facing the illness.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Early Warning Signs of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and Dementia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, the warning signs can be ignored or mistaken for simple forgetfulness. This is extremely common, as many people ignore the signs of the disease or mistake them for something much less intrusive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Early Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease and Dementia:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Memory Loss<\/strong> \u2013 this is by far the most noticeable warning sign of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Seniors who have difficulty remembering names, places, faces, and even how to utilize certain objects such as a toothbrush, or the remote can indicate a serious issue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Depression<\/strong> \u2013 it is easy to recognize when your senior loved one may be slipping into depression. A few signs or indicators include disrupted sleeping patterns, withdrawal from family or friends, or a lack of interest in hobbies and social activities. If your senior was once active and involved in several activities, but no longer has an interest, it may be a sign of the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Misplace Things Often<\/strong> \u2013 it is quite common for people to put things down and forget where they were placed. However, it\u2019s a little different from Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Seniors typically put things in the wrong place. For instance, the remote may be placed in the bathroom or the tissue in the kitchen.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Families who have loved ones who may be coping with memory loss can benefit from professional dementia care. Care providers have the necessary skills and a clear understanding of the disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Vancouver, BC, is Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many families prefer Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> when arranging senior home care services for a loved one in or around Vancouver, British Columbia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
