What is Alzheimer's Disease?
Alzheimer’s Disease is a “a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions” — Mayo Clinic. It is a type of dementia that negatively affects short and long term memory, behavior and thinking. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s tend to become more severe as the disease progresses, eventually impacting the day to day life of the individual.
The disease develops years prior to any noticeable symptoms, about 18-20 years before symptoms arise. As the disease progresses, it damages neurons in other parts of the brain, eventually affecting important functions such as walking, swallowing and other bodily functions.
Different programs and services such as medications (under the advisement of one’s doctor) and specialized care plans at home or in a facility can help support the individual with daily tasks and as well as maximize independency for a time.
Stages of Alzheimer's Disease
Early Stage
In this stage, people with Alzheimer’s begin experiencing early symptoms of memory loss, and a decline in cognitive functions. Common behavioral symptoms are repetition of words questions or sentences, delay in completing basic tasks such as brushing teeth or preparing food, a tendency to wander and lost oneself, and there are some personality changes such as getting upset frequently, becoming more irritable, anxiety/stress, imagining things that aren’t there and developing depression.
Common Difficulties & Symptoms
Difficulty in using words, sentences, or asking questions
Remembering names when introduced to new people
Frequently misplacing and/or losing objects
Increased trouble in planning and organization
Middle Stage
In this stage, areas of the brain that controls logic, reasoning, language, sensory processing and general thinking, are damaged, increasing the severity of the early symptoms and as well as facilitates new ones. Memory loss and daily confusion increases in intensity, and individuals may find it hard to recognize the faces of family and friends. It is also common for individuals during this stage to not be able to learn new things, perform day to day tasks such as dressing and navigating one’s home.

Changes in mood & feeling
Unable to recall information such as address or phone number
Trouble controlling bladder & bowls
