Most types of dementia are progressive and impact a person’s memory and thinking, making it more difficult for them to function and complete tasks. Unfortunately, we don’t have a cure for most types of dementia yet. Still, it is possible for people with dementia to continue living full, happy, and purposeful lives. Dr. Armen Moughamian, MD PhD explains why most types of dementia are incurable, what you can do to manage the disease, and how some of the symptoms can be reversed.

An estimated 60% to 70% of people with cognitive impairment or dementia have sleep disturbances. Remo’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Meredith Bock talks to Parade about their connection. “Dementia can alter the brain’s natural sleep-wake cycle, which is the ‘internal clock’ that tells your body when to feel awake and when to go to sleep. When a person is living with dementia, their brain’s chemistry and networks change. For some people living with dementia, these changes can impact their body’s regulation of this natural rhythm,” Dr. Bock explains. Check out the article for more on the connection between dementia and sleep disturbances. #dementia #dementiacare #dementiaawareness #dementiadiagnosis #sleep

Remo’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Meredith Bock talks to Parade about how dementia can impact someone’s ability to smell. “The process of neurodegeneration that causes dementia can also affect sensation and sensory processing related to smell, making it harder for them to recognize familiar scents like their favorite shampoo or body wash.” Dr. Bock says that the loss of smell might not be noticeable for someone with Alzheimer’s, yet for people with Lewy Body dementia, it’s more common.

?? Brain atrophy is a completely normal part of growing older. Did you know that our brains can start to shrink in size starting as early as our 20s and 30s? Brain atrophy happens for many different reasons — for example, because of normal aging, a head injury, or a disease (like dementia). However, accelerated brain atrophy — when a person’s brain shrinks faster than it should — is a sign that something is wrong. In this new article on Learn, our Remo experts explore what brain atrophy is and its connection to dementia.

During the dementia journey, caregivers often feel isolated from others and struggle with an unattainable goal: perfection. Supportive communities — often times found online — provide a safe space for caregivers to express their needs and feel supported. Digital communities, in particular, provide unique opportunities for support as they are available 24/7/365, and can be accessed right from home. Remember, no caregiving journey can be done alone. Hear more from Remo’s Head of Member Engagement Jessica Corona-Irwin, RN, CDP, CDSGF on creating supportive digital communities for caregivers. ??
