Understanding Dementia
Dementia is a symptom of many diseases that affect the elderly, including
Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia, unlike delirium, is long-term and
increasingly degenerative. Symptoms of dementia involve memory loss,
behavioral problems, significant personality changes, and degenerated motor
skills. Dementia among the elderly community has become more prevalent in
recent years as the number of elderly people has increased. Elderly people
suffering from dementia require constant care and admittance to an elderly care
facility is often the only choice for an elderly loved one in advanced stages of
dementia. Very few cases of dementia are reversible as dementia is
generally a symptom of another degenerative disease. Dementia should be
properly diagnosed using a clinical evaluation and, often, an MRI scan will be
done to determine whether or not the dementia has been caused by a stroke.
Family caregivers who care for an elderly loved one suffering from dementia can
become increasingly frustrated and stressed by the responsibility of caring for
the person. Putting the elderly loved one into a qualified elderly care
facility will both alleviate stress from the caregiver and ensure that the loved
one is getting the necessary comprehensive care.
