It is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-80 percent of all cases. Symptoms typically develop slowly and worsen over time, eventually interfering with daily tasks.<\/p><p>No one test can diagnose Alzheimer&#8217;s. Doctors may use a combination of medical history, physical exam, cognitive testing, and brain imaging to make a diagnosis.<\/p><p>Alzheimer\u2019s is not a normal part of aging.<\/p><p>Many older adults living with Alzheimer&#8217;s experience changes in their ability to plan and remember. This change can be due to plaques and tangles in the brain.<\/p><p>Plaques are deposits of a beta-amyloid protein that build up between nerve cells. Tangles are twisted strands of another protein called tau that builds up inside nerve cells.<\/p><p>As plaques and tangles spread, they inhibit connections between nerve cells, leading to changes in thinking and memory. In the early stages of Alzheimer&#8217;s, people may have trouble remembering recent events or new information.<\/p><p>As Alzheimer\u2019s progresses, they may experience more difficulty with the following:<\/p><ul><li>Language<\/li><li>Problem-solving<\/li><li>Executive function skills such as planning and organization<\/li><\/ul><figure id=\"attachment_4313\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4313\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-80 wp-image-4313 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/the-ridglea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2023\/04\/ridglea-senior-woman-sitting-with-cargiver-reading-2.jpeg\" alt=\"The Ridglea | Senior woman ina wheelchair at the table with her caregiver reading a book\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/the-ridglea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2023\/04\/ridglea-senior-woman-sitting-with-cargiver-reading-2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/the-ridglea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2023\/04\/ridglea-senior-woman-sitting-with-cargiver-reading-2-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/the-ridglea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/59\/2023\/04\/ridglea-senior-woman-sitting-with-cargiver-reading-2-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4313\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">toa555 &#8211; stock.adobe.com<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Plaques and tangles can interfere with almost all aspects of thinking and memory. Ultimately it is challenging for people with Alzheimer&#8217;s to live independently.<\/p><p>Many people living with Alzheimer&#8217;s continue to lead meaningful and active lives. Advances in evidence-based treatment and support from family members make this a possibility.<\/p><h2>What are the effects of Alzheimer&#8217;s?<\/h2><h3>For people living with dementia<\/h3><p>In the early stages of Alzheimer&#8217;s, people may develop mild memory problems. With progression, people living with this form of dementia may experience:<\/p><ul><li>Disorientation in new places<\/li><li>Trouble understanding or communicating with others<\/li><li>Feeling lonely and isolating themselves<\/li><li>Mood swings and exhibiting agitation<\/li><li>Wandering and sundowning<\/li><li>Forgetting names and people<\/li><\/ul><p>People may require 24-hour supervision and help with all daily living activities in the later stages.<\/p><h3>For family members<\/h3><p>Family members feel the effects as much as their loved ones with Alzheimer\u2019s. Over one million Texans provide home care to a person with memory loss. They do not have to go on this journey alone.<\/p><p>Most people are aware of the physical effects of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. However, far less is known about the toll it takes on caregivers. The demands of caregiving can be overwhelming, and many family members struggle to cope.<\/p><p>One of the most challenging aspects of providing care is the loneliness and isolation that it can cause. As the disease progresses, patients may become withdrawn and unresponsive, making it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/the-ridglea\/communication-tips-dementia-care-fort-worth\/\">hard for caregivers to connect with them<\/a>.<\/p><p>The constant demands of caregiving can lead to burnout. Caregivers may feel exhausted and overwhelmed and have difficulty balancing their needs with those of their loved ones.<\/p><p>Caregivers often experience a range of emotions, from sadness and frustration to anger and resentment. While caring for a loved one with Alzheimer&#8217;s can be immensely rewarding, it is also a challenging and demanding journey.<\/p><h2>What are other forms of dementia?<\/h2><p>Dementia is an umbrella term that describes a decline in cognitive function due to disease or brain injury. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alz.org\/alzheimers-dementia\/what-is-dementia\/types-of-dementia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many types of dementia<\/a>, but some of the more common forms include:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Vascular dementia:<\/strong> caused by damage to the blood vessels<\/li><li><strong>Lewy body dementia:<\/strong> caused by protein deposits in the brain<\/li><li><strong>Frontotemporal dementia:<\/strong> is a catchall term for various types of degenerative dementias that primarily affect the frontal or temporal lobes<\/li><li><strong>Mixed dementia:<\/strong> typically Alzheimer\u2019s and one other common form of dementia<\/li><\/ul><h2>Frequently Asked Questions About Alzheimer\u2019s Care in Fort Worth<\/h2><p>The Ridglea offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.civitasseniorliving.com\/the-ridglea\/lifestyle-options\/memory-care\/\">premier memory care services<\/a> for those living in Fort Worth and the surrounding areas.
