Understanding Dementia
Dementia is an umbrella term that describes a person's loss of cognitive ability that interferes with everyday life. Alzheimer's, the most common type of dementia, is just one of many varieties. Dementia can affect memory, motor skills, language, judgment, and many other aspects of daily life. The first step in determining whether your loved one has dementia is seeing a doctor or specialist. He or she will make a diagnosis using physical and mental assessments, medical history, and by developing an understanding of the patient's symptoms. Once your loved one has a diagnosis, we work will their medical professionals to create a plan for in-home support and care.
