Did you know that Dementia isn’t a disease? Neither is the normal process of aging. Dementia is used to describe impaired memory and decision-making capabilities. These symptoms begin to interfere with activities of daily living and can be a result of actual diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, or of traumatic brain injuries, etc.
If you or your loved one experiences dementia symptoms, you should see your primary physician and follow the given recommendations.
If you need care and support for a loved one with dementia, give HandyNurse® a call and we can help with home care and/or creating a plan to ensure the best quality of life for their future.
