According to the Alzheimer’s Association, “Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms eventually grow severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.” It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for between 60-80% of Dementia cases.
The most common early symptom of Alzheimer’s and Dementia is having difficulty remembering newly learned information. Symptoms can also include, in later stages, disorientation, mood and behavioral changes, deepening confusion about events, time and place; unfounded suspicions about family, friends and professional caregivers; more serious memory loss and behavior changes; and difficulty speaking, swallowing and walking.
Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of Dementia. Alzheimer’s is a specific disease. Dementia is not.
Although they may seem interchangeable, memory care and assisted living refer to two different types of care. Memory care is designed specifically for the needs of people living with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, while assisted living generally refers to support provided to individuals living with a broader range of physical or cognitive challenges. Memory care caregivers have additional training in and experience with issues unique to dementia and Alzheimer’s and can offer services and activities that cater to the cognitive needs of people who live with these conditions.
