The Alzheimer's Association reports that nearly 7 million Americans have Alzheimer's, a number projected to almost double to 13 million by 2050. If your loved one is among the millions affected, you understand how life-changing the diagnosis can be.
Memory loss, confusion, and changes in behavior can make daily routines harder. Watching someone you love struggle with this is never easy. You want them to feel safe, understood, and cared for.

Dementia refers to cognitive impairments that affect the brain's neurons. It alters the neurons' ability to process and transmit information, leading to gradual memory loss.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Other types, such as vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia, can also affect your elderly loved one.
