What Is Dementia?
Dementia is not a single disease, but an overall term — like heart disease — that covers a wide range of specific medical conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease. It is often characterized by difficulty remembering, making decisions, focusing, and more. The most common form, Alzheimer’s disease, slowly robs people of their memory and then their ability to care for themselves. To everyone involved, the individual as well as their family, the physical and emotional cost can be enormity.

Frequently asked questions
Early signs of Alzheimer’s disease may include memory loss that disrupts daily life, difficulty completing familiar tasks, confusion with time or place, trouble finding words, and changes in mood or personality. Identifying these symptoms early can help with timely diagnosis and management.
There is no guaranteed way to prevent Alzheimer’s, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, mental stimulation, and good heart health, may lower the risk.
Care options for Alzheimer’s disease include in-home care, where professional caregivers assist with daily tasks and provide specialized Alzheimer’s support, and respite care, which offers temporary relief for family caregivers. Adult day care services provide social activities and structured care during the day, while memory care facilities offer 24/7 supervision in a secure environment. Hospice or palliative care focuses on comfort during advanced stages. Additionally, family caregivers can access training and resources to manage care at home. The right option depends on the individual’s needs and the progression of the disease.
