“Alzheimers is a disease that causes dementia. It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for about two-thirds of cases in the elderly”–Alzheimers Research Uk.

Typical early symptoms of Alzheimers include:

• Regularly forgetting recent events, names and faces.
• Becoming increasingly repetitive.
• Regularly misplacing items or putting them in odd places.
• Confusion about the time of day.
• Disorientation, especially away from your normal surroundings.
• Getting lost.
• Problems finding the right words.
• Mood or behaviour problems such as apathy, irritability, or losing confidence.

Alzheimer’s gets worse over time, but the speed of change varies from person to person.

As Alzheimers progresses:

• People will find that their ability to remember, think and make decisions worsens.
• Communication and language become more difficult.
• A person’s behaviour may change and some people can become sad or depressed.
• Anxieties or phobias are quite common.
• People may experience hallucinations, where they may see things or people that aren’t there.
• Problems with sleeping and restlessness at night often occur.
• Anger or agitation become more common.
• People may become increasingly unsteady on their feet and fall more often.
• People gradually require more help with daily activities like dressing, toileting and eating.

At Apple House, we have first hand experience of the debilitating effects of the above symptoms; this is a degenerative disease that doesn’t only affect the very elderly.  We know that by supporting Alzheimers Research Uk with a monthly donation it is still not enough.  They need your support too, to help them continue their pioneering work that focuses on prevention, treatment and a cure.
