Alzheimer's
and Dementia Care
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common form of dementia that
negatively impacts the portions of the brain that effect thought,
memory and language. Today, as many as 4.5 million people in the
United States suffer from varying stages of AD. The initial symptoms
may be as minor as forgetting names or recent events, but as the
disease progresses, the Alzheimer’s patient may wander, become
anxious or even aggressive.
