What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, which is a physical disease of the brain. Alzheimer’s leads to the death of nerve cells and loss of brain tissue. As the disease progresses, more parts of the brain are damaged and more symptoms develop. These are usually mild to start with but become worse over time and can interfere with daily life. For most people the earliest symptoms will be memory lapses, such as difficulty recalling recent events and learning new information. They may also experience changes in their mood and can become anxious, irritable or depressed. As the condition develops the memory loss may become more severe and other symptoms appear, interfering with daily life. The person may start to believe things that are not true (delusions), as well as see or hear things that are not there (hallucinations). The individual will benefit from a dedicated Care Professional.

Each person living with Alzheimer’s will have their own unique experiences and challenges. Alzheimer’s care is about understanding the condition and the many symptoms that can occur. It is important to support the person as a human being, not just somebody with Alzheimer’s disease symptoms. To help, we need to understand what their reality is and join them in their own world, expressing empathy, with smiles, warmth and positive affirmations.
