Senior home health care experts in Tracy, CA share tips on identifying the early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease
Whether they have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, witnessed their loved ones deal with its many challenges, or provided senior home health care services to someone suffering from Alzheimer’s, millions of people in the United States have in some way been affected by the incurable, progressive disease.
Although the condition cannot be cured, it’s important to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease so that families know what they are facing. The most important factor in raising Alzheimer’s awareness is early education, especially now as researchers investigate how the brain changes before the onset of the condition, as well as work to find a cure.
As senior home health care experts point out, early detection is crucial in people with Alzheimer’s disease, not only because they can prepare themselves, but because they can also take steps to improve their quality of life even as the condition worsens. Plus, early detection provides people with the opportunity to register for clinical trials as well as plan for their future in terms of the care they wish to receive.
