Our Memory Care Communities
We Specialize in:
Dementia isn’t a specific disease but a broad term used to describe over 100 different conditions that cause a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to impact daily activities. If your loved one is experiencing dementia, you might notice impairments in at least two of the following areas: memory, communication and language, focus and attention, reasoning and judgment, or visual perception. Common types include Alzheimer’s disease (60-80% of cases) and Vascular dementia.
Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia, causing problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. It is not a normal part of aging. If your loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, you should know that increasing age is the greatest known risk factor, but younger-onset Alzheimer’s can affect individuals under 65. While there’s no cure, available treatments can address symptoms, and ongoing research offers hope.
Parkinson’s disease is a long-term disorder of the central nervous system that leads to progressive motor function deterioration due to the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. If your loved one has Parkinson’s, you may notice symptoms like tremors, stiffness, impaired balance, or a shuffling gait. Dementia is common in advanced stages. Although there’s no cure, treatment plans can significantly improve symptoms.
Frontotemporal Dementia primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which control behavior, personality, language, and movement. Unlike Alzheimer’s, FTD often causes changes in personality and behavior rather than memory loss. You might observe symptoms in your loved one such as inappropriate social behavior, compulsive actions, or difficulty with language. While there’s no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Lewy Body Dementia is a progressive neurological disorder caused by abnormal protein deposits in the brain. Your loved one might experience cognitive decline, visual hallucinations, or symptoms similar to Parkinson’s, such as muscle stiffness or tremors. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder is also common. Because LBD has overlapping symptoms with other conditions, diagnosis can be challenging. While there’s no cure, symptom management and support can improve quality of life.
Vascular dementia results from reduced blood flow to the brain, often due to strokes or similar events. If your loved one has this condition, you might notice slowed thinking, disorientation, or difficulty with concentration. Physical symptoms such as trouble walking or maintaining balance may also appear. This type of dementia often progresses in a stepwise manner, with sudden declines followed by stability. Managing conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes can slow progression and enhance quality of life.
