Alzheimer’s disease: a growing concern among seniors.
Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia — a progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory, thinking skills, and the ability to perform simple tasks. It begins gradually, often with forgetfulness or confusion, and becomes more severe over time.
Alzheimer’s not only affects the person living with it but also deeply impacts families and caregivers. While there’s no cure, early diagnosis and support services can help manage symptoms, prolong independence, and improve quality of life.
