Her insights are invaluable if you need information to help your loved one.<\/p><p>Before you begin your search for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-courtyards-at-mountain-view\/memory-care\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s care in Denver<\/a>, we invite you to read her answers to common memory loss questions and learn how your loved one can benefit from the right care. The first is one of the most common questions we encounter.<\/p><h2>Dr. Petersen, what are some of the signs associated with Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/h2><h3>1. Memory loss<\/h3><p>Memory loss is among the first symptoms reported by those with Alzheimer\u2019s and their caregivers. Working memory and long-term declarative memory are affected early in the condition\u2019s progression, producing an individualized pattern of impaired memory functions. Alzheimer\u2019s pathology (i.e., brain cell death) circumvents the formation of memories from the molecular level to the framework of neural networks.<\/p><h3>2. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relations<\/h3><p>Having more difficulty with balance or judging distance, tripping over things at home, or spilling or dropping things more are also signs. As Alzheimer\u2019s progresses, deteriorating depth perception often results in the inability to judge distance or perceive and interpret visual images correctly. That ultimately results in a loss of function.<\/p><h3>3. Trouble with word-finding<\/h3><p>As neural pathways deteriorate, the ability to communicate through the spoken word becomes greatly impaired. New problems with words in speaking or writing, having trouble following or joining a conversation, or struggling to find a word (ie. saying \u201cthe thing on your wrist that tells time\u201d instead of \u201cwatch\u201d) are not uncommon in Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p><h3>4. Misplacing things<\/h3><p>As working memory declines, the ability to sequence activities also declines. Misplacing items and losing the ability to retrace steps, like placing car keys in the washer or dryer, are part of the condition\u2019s progress. Some of these individuals also perceive that their misplaced items were stolen.<\/p><h2>How can you tell the difference between normal aging and Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/h2><p>Although some processes within the brain may change with age, Alzheimer\u2019s is not a normal progression of aging. Alzheimer\u2019s results in a pervasive pattern of memory loss that drastically impairs function over time. Normal aging, on the other hand, may result in slower processing speed, slower word recall, and occasional forgetfulness. But, overall, the ability to function stays intact well into later years.<\/p><h2>Who is at risk for Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/h2><p>Although age (65 and older) is probably the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer\u2019s, those who have a parent, brother, or sister with Alzheimer\u2019s are more likely to develop the condition. The risk increases if more than one family member has the illness.<\/p><h2>What\u2019s the difference between Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia?<\/h2><p>Dementia is an umbrella term that encompasses Alzheimer\u2019s but also includes other medical conditions that result in neurocognitive decline. For example, vascular dementia, alcohol-related dementia, Lewy-body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia are also included under the umbrella of dementia.<\/p><h2>What causes Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/h2><p>There are a wide variety of theories as to what causes Alzheimer\u2019s. The most likely factors include a combination of age-related changes in the brain along with genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The importance of any one of these factors in increasing or decreasing the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s may differ vastly from one person to another.<\/p><h2>How can Alzheimer\u2019s be prevented?<\/h2><p>Avoiding a diet high in processed foods, maintaining a healthy weight, and regular exercise seem to be critical components for decreasing the risk of developing neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p><h2>Where can I find care in Denver, CO, for my loved one with Alzheimer\u2019s or dementia?<\/h2><p>The Courtyards at Mountain View features the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/the-courtyards-at-mountain-view\/blog\/2023\/08\/10\/person-centered-care-services\/\">Pegasus Senior Living Connections program<\/a>.
