The Most Common Stages Of Alzheimer’s

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) People who experience mild cognitive impairment have slight changes in their thinking and memory ability. These changes are not significant enough to affect work life or relationships yet. People with MCI can have memory lapses when it comes to information that is usually easily remembered, such as recent events, conversations, or appointments. People with MCI can also have trouble judging the amount of time necessary for a task, or they may have difficulty accurately judging the number or sequence of steps required to complete a task. The ability to make sound decisions can increasingly become harder for people with MCI. However, not everyone with mild cognitive impairment has Alzheimer’s disease.

MCI can often be diagnosed based on the doctor’s review of symptoms. But if necessary, the same procedures used to identify preclinical Alzheimer’s disease can help provide the best memory care support to accurately determine whether MCI is due to Alzheimer’s disease or is being caused by something else. Mild Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s disease can often be diagnosed in the mild Alzheimer’s stage when it becomes clear to family and doctors that a person has significant trouble with thinking and memory capabilities that impacts daily functioning.

Mild Alzheimer’s Caregiver Support Stage

  • Memory loss of recent events. Individuals can have an especially hard time remembering newly learned information and ask the same question repeatedly.
  • Difficulty with complex tasks, problem-solving, and sound judgments. Balancing a checkbook or planning a family event can become overwhelming. Many people experience lapses in their judgment, such as when making financial decisions.
  • Changes in personality. People may become withdrawn or subdued—especially in socially challenging situations—or show uncharacteristic anger or irritability. Reduced motivation to complete daily tasks is also common.
  • Difficulty expressing and organizing thoughts. Finding the correct words to describe objects or clearly express ideas becomes increasingly difficult.
  • Misplacing belongings or getting lost. Individuals can have increasing trouble finding their way around, even in familiar places. It’s also common to misplace or lose things, including valuable items.

Moderate Alzheimer’s

  • Show increasingly poor judgment and deepening confusion. Individuals can lose track of where they are, the day of the week, or the season.
  • They can confuse family or close friends with one another or mistake strangers for family members.
  • They may wander, possibly in search of particular surroundings that feel more familiar. These difficulties make it unsafe and dangerous to leave individuals.
  • Experience even more significant memory loss.
  • Need help with daily activities from caregivers for Alzheimer’s patients.
  • Assistance may be required with choosing the proper clothing for an outing along with grooming, bathing, using the bathroom, and other self-care, to provide the best memory care. Some individuals occasionally lose control of their bowel movements or bladder.
  • Undergo significant changes in personality and behavior.
  • Individuals can often grow agitated or restless, especially when it’s late in the day. Some people can also have outbursts of aggressive physical behavior.

I was exhausted after weeks of juggling work, my kids, and my mom’s post-surgery rehab. A friend urged me to call Home Care Providers in Brea. From the first phone chat, their coordinator listened as I rambled through medication times and my mom’s fear of strangers. The next morning a caregiver arrived with a gentle smile, laid out gloves and a tablet checklist, and coaxed Mom through stretches while chatting about old movies. Hearing her laugh in the kitchen nearly made me cry. The caregiver updated me via text when vitals were logged, so I could focus at work. Knowing reliable home care services were in place lifted a weight off my chest. Dinner that night felt calm for the first time all summer. I’m grateful we found them.

I appreciate Home Care Pro having great caregivers caring for my mom. Priscilla has been taking care of her for many months and it's made an incredible difference in my mom's wellbeing. Whenever Priscilla isn't available, they send other caregivers who also provide high quality care, most recently Jennifer who my mom was very impressed by. Thanks Home Care Pro!

When Angie arrives, she’s always cheerful and makes sure first thing that I’m OK. Then she has no choice, because my dog won’t let her have one, she has to give my dog a treat. My dog loves her. She surveys what needs to be done, checking first what I need personally done. She will then help me with my bed, if needed help change my Depends , and take out my trash. .She always makes sure that I feel I am important and deserve. Good care. I appreciate the fact that she always make sure. Back gate is securely shut, coming and going. I Think HCP is very lucky to have her as an employee.
