I see many caregivers who are unaware of their loved ones' disease and symptoms as a certified practitioner of both dementia and Alzheimer's.
It is our passion to know the cause of symptoms and care for those we serve. Educating those in care positions to look for the root problem. Many people suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia are misunderstood.
By 2050, these diseases will triple in number. We must educate ourselves on the statistics and differences of diseases as well as how to recognize certain symptoms at an early stage. The research on early detection appears to be promising. The benefits to everyone involved would be immense if we were able to slow down the progression. Below are some links to research and education about Alzheimer's and dementia. It's worth reading. Someone we love or care for will be affected!
