Caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s in Orange County

The commonly held perception of Alzheimer’s Disease is that it is a short term memory loss disease, affecting the memory of people and events, however it is actually a form of dementia in that it causes feelings of confusion and comprehension loss. As Kelsey Davenport recounts in her Huffington Post article “Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer’s Disease”, it is a difficult and complicated condition, affecting more than 3 million elderly people a year, that poses an intense emotional struggle for family members and friends. However, it is important to show care and give support for everyone involved. One medical study shows that Alzheimer’s patients may mimic the actions of their caregivers. Because it is a progressive disease that destroys memory as time goes on, it is important to speak with a medical professional as soon as you or your loved one begins to notice symptoms such as forgetfulness, disorientation, delusions, depression and more.
