This page is no longer updated, it is here for your viewing. The creater passed away in 2002 Currently, there is an estimated 4 million Americans afflicted with Alzheimers Disease (AD).It is expected that more than 34 million people worldwide will develop Alzheimer?s disease by 2025 if an effective form of prevention and treatment are not found. The cost of caring for a person with AD is extremely high, an estimated $4.4 billion dollars per year is covered by the government, states cover an additional $4.1 billion per year. Most of the remaining costs fall on the patient and their family. If you think that Alzheimers won't affect you, perhaps you better think again. We are an aging society and the prevalence of the disease is increasing dramatically. Doctors now look at people between the ages of 30-50 and see the next generation of AD suffers. Could that be you, your mom, dad, sister, brother? If anyone had of told me in 1987, that in just a few years I would become my mothers full-time caregiver because of Alzheimers I would not have believed them. You see, my mother graduated from our local college, at the age of 72, June, 1987, the oldest person ever. She received her AA and a standing ovation from her class. Yet, just a few years later the

Alzheimers disease: Tips for Alzheimer’s caregivers Mary Clark, Ph.D. http://mediwriter.com The devastation of Alzheimer’s Disease (Alzheimer's disease) affects millions of families in the United States. Alzheimer’s Disease costs can be measured in mental, physical, emotional, and financial terms. Perhaps the greatest toll is exacted on the primary caregiver, who tends to a loved one requiring progressively more attention and eventually total care. However, when caring for an Alzheimer's disease patient at home, there are some things that you can do to make the patient’s life safer and more enjoyable while helping to preserve your own mental, emotional, and physical health. For example, bathing and dressing a person with Alzheimer's disease beyond the early disease stages can be stressful, especially if he or she has become combative or otherwise uncooperative. However a little planning can help a lot. Try to make sure that all bathing materials (soap, shampoo, washcloth, towels) are within easy reach, so that you will not need to leave the patient unattended even momentarily. Safety issues also become more important. To lessen the chance of the patient slipping or falling, try placing a rubber mat or decals on the floor of the bath tub. Grab bars and shower seats may also be helpful. They can be purchased at most any medical supply store. You may want to lower the temperature of the hot water in your heater to reduce the chance of scalding. Keep all medications and toxic substances in a locked cabinet. Patients with advanced Alzheimer's disease often cannot distinguish edible from inedible items.

Ageless Design, Inc. 12633 159th Court North Jupiter, FL 33478 Write to us F.A.Q.'s (Frequently Asked Questions) What are the Stages of Alzheimer's disease? Stages Experts refer to several theories breaking down the stages of Alzheimer's disease. Some are based on 3, 5, 7 or even as many as 15 stages. To simplify matters we will concentrate on only two of these theories: THE THREE STAGE THEORY Early Stages - Something Is Wrong The early stages of AD might be described by saying that Alzheimer's is clearly present, but remains in the background, not truly affecting or hindering everyday life. Symptoms may include forgetfulness, misplacing items, or even occasional episodes of getting lost or failing to recognize people or places. Though relatively minor in its impact on life, the disease is there, enough to convince the person, family and friends that something is wrong. Summing it up, the disease is in the background, but present, nonetheless.

Alzheimer's disease - the dementia. Recently there have been some important breaks through to possible treatments of Alzheimer's-type dementia. Alzheimer's disease remains the greatest scourge of the elderly after heart disease and stroke. Despite the possibilities of effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease in the forseeable future, this glimmer of hope comes too late for millions of people throughout the world. For them, their prime need is and will remain their quality of care. Nursing Homes are over-burdened with dementia sufferers, particularly those with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimers disease is now known to be a group of dementias and not just one single disorder Some nursing homes are still not properly equipped or trained to deal with the special needs of people with Alzheimer's disease. There is still too much ignorance of what Alzheimer's disease IS, and ignorance breeds fear and prejudice. Alzheimer Updates Home Page Click here to check all Angell Productions services!

Publications Alzheimer's Disease Fact Sheet Download this fact sheet as a PDF Contents Introduction Causes Symptoms Diagnosis ... For More Information Introduction Scientists think that as many as 4.5 million Americans suffer from AD. The disease usually begins after age 60, and risk goes up with age. While younger people also may get AD, it is much less common. About 5 percent of men and women ages 65 to 74 have AD, and nearly half of those age 85 and older may have the disease. It is important to note, however, that AD is not a normal part of aging. AD is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a German doctor. In 1906, Dr. Alzheimer noticed changes in the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness. He found abnormal clumps (now called amyloid plaques) and tangled bundles of fibers (now called neurofibrillary tangles). Today, these plaques and tangles in the brain are considered signs of AD. Scientists also have found other brain changes in people with AD. Nerve cells die in areas of the brain that are vital to memory and other mental abilities, and connections between nerve cells are disrupted. There also are lower levels of some of the chemicals in the brain that carry messages back and forth between nerve cells. AD may impair thinking and memory by disrupting these messages.

In advanced stages of the disease, all memory and mental functioning may be lost. The condition predominantly affects the cerebral cortex and hippocampus , which lose mass and shrink (atrophy) as the disease advances.
