Each person is unique and deserves an opportunity to live out their lives as independently and happily as they can, with the level of support they need to achieve this.
Please call us to discuss how we may help you.
We are all becoming aware of the word Alzheimer’s as there is an almost daily reference to it in the newspapers, magazines, promotional handouts, and of course advice on how to recognise it in ourselves or indeed loved ones.
If we have had personal experience of this, either our parents or other relatives who have suffered from this disease, then we know first hand of the difficulties that face the person themselves and also the people who care for them. A person may have been suffering from Alzheimer’s for some time, but only as this worsens, does it become apparent some of the early symptoms are:
This can happen over a period of time, and only when it impacts on a person’s ability to care for them selves, communicate their feelings or take care of themselves does it become a concern. There are many reasons for short term memory loss, and the correct diagnosis is of paramount importance. Your G.P. can help by arranging an appointment with a “Memory Clinic” as a first point of call.
A person suffering from Alzheimer’s can withdraw from their hobbies, social activities and from going out to see friends, and become increasingly withdrawn and insular.
A person may loose the ability to manage their day to day life, dates, appointments, shopping and planning ahead. This can lead to difficulty in completing everyday tasks, including personal hygiene, cooking, caring for pets, even putting on the t.v. and operating the remote controls.
A person’s behaviour may change, with mood swings and anxiety and also lack of physical co-ordination. A person may become aggressive, agitated, and loose the ability to reason.
