Alzheimer's Disease: Understanding The Three Stages and When To Start Home Care Services
In people with Alzheimer's disease, changes in the brain may begin 10 to 20 years before any visible signs or symptoms appear. Some regions of the brain may begin to shrink, resulting in memory loss, one of the first signs of Alzheimer's disease.
Over time, Alzheimer's disease progresses through three main stages: mild, moderate, and severe. Because it is not easy to look inside a living brain to see the damage Alzheimer's disease causes, these stages are characterized by a collection of signs and symptoms and behaviors the people with Alzheimer's disease experience.
Mild Alzheimer's Disease: Time to Consider In-Home Care
People with mild symptoms of Alzheimer's disease often seem healthy, but they are actually having trouble making sense of the world around them. It often takes time for an observer to realize that something is wrong because the initial symptoms are often confused with changes that take place in normal aging. Symptoms and early signs of Alzheimer's disease may include:
Difficulty learning and remembering new information
Difficulty managing finances, planning meals, taking medications on schedule
Depression symptoms (sadness, decreased interest in usual activities, loss of energy)
Difficulty with some activities such as driving a car
Gets lost going to familiar places
Moderate Alzheimer's Disease: Time to Implement Home Care Services
In moderate Alzheimer's disease, the damaging processes occurring in the brain worsen and spread to other areas that control language, reasoning, sensory processing, and thought. In this stage, symptoms and signs of Alzheimer's disease become more pronounced and behavioral problems may become more obvious. Signs and symptoms of moderate Alzheimer's disease may include:
Forgetting old facts
Continually repeats stories and/or asks the same questions over and over
Makes up stories to fill gaps
Difficulty performing tasks
Following written notes
Using the shower and toilet
Agitation, behavioral symptoms common
Restlessness, repetitive movements
Wandering
Paranoia, delusions, hallucinations
Deficits in intellect and reasoning
Lack of concern for appearance, hygiene, and sleep become more noticeable
Severe Alzheimer's Disease: Time to Consider 24 hour Care
In the advanced stage of Alzheimer's disease, damage to the brain's nerve cells is widespread. At this point, full-time care is typically required. For friends, family, and Alzheimer's caregivers, this can be the most difficult stage. People with severe Alzheimer's disease may have difficulty walking, and they often suffer complications from other illnesses, such as pneumonia. Signs of severe Alzheimer's disease may include:
Vocalizations such as groaning, screaming, mumbling, or speaking gibberish
Behavioral symptoms
Refuses to eat
Inappropriately cries out
Failure to recognize family or faces
Difficulty with all essential activities of daily living
