Alzheimer's disease poses caregiving challenges for seniors and their families.
By Claire Covert-Wilson
Alzheimer?s disease is one of the most prevalent and mysterious maladies facing today?s senior population, and Alzheimer?s care is a persistent challenge for aging individuals, their families, caregivers and medical professionals alike. As more and more elderly American succumb to the disease, medical researchers are struggling to find effective means of prevention and treatment. However, according to U.S. News & World Report, the latest in a string of studies testing the efficacy of ginkgo biloba as a preventative remedy has found that the herbal supplement does not in fact provide statistically significant benefit to Alzheimer?s patients. In the face of this setback, it is more important than ever for seniors and their families to plan ahead for Alzheimer?s care with the resources and remedies we do have: healthy living, diagnostic tests and compassionate caregiving at the hands of trained professionals. While caring for a loved one with Alzheimer?s or dementia can be daunting, San Diego home care agencies offer a solution in the form of expert assistance and peace of mind for seniors and their families.
According to a recent report published by the Mother Nature Network, Alzheimer?s disease is the root cause behind nearly two-thirds of dementia cases. The disease is also a silent threat: as Eric Karan of Alzheimer?s Research U.K. points out, Alzheimer?s ?seems to be present in people?s brains maybe 15 years prior to?suffering symptoms.? As medical researchers fight to detect the link between the early-stage behavior of the disease in the brain and the cognitive impairment that eventually manifests itself in affects patients, aging Americans are left with few options for effective prevention and treatment. For now, this means learning to live with the disease: and in the face of rising medical care costs and still-struggling economy, in-home caregivers are an ideal alternative for those who simply cannot afford assisted living facilities or 24-hour nurse assistance at home.
