What is Dementia?
Dementia is a loss of brain function that occurs with certain diseases. It affects memory, thinking, language, judgment, and behavior.
Most types of dementia are non reversible (degenerative). Non reversible means the changes in the brain that are causing the dementia cannot be stopped or turned back.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia.Lewy body disease is a leading cause of dementia in elderly adults. People with this condition have abnormal protein structures in certain areas of the brain.
Dementia also can be due to many small strokes. This is called vascular
dementia.The following medical conditions also can lead to dementia
Parkinson's disease
Multiple sclerosis
Huntington's disease
Pick's disease
Infections that can affect the brain, such as HIV/AIDS and Lyme disease
What is Alzheimer's ?
Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. The disease destroys brain cells and symptoms can include confusion, anger, mood swings, language breakdown and long-term memory loss.
Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.
Assistance with Activities of Daily Living.
Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging, although the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older. But Alzheimer's is not just a disease of old age.
Up to 5 percent of people with the disease have early-onset Alzheimer's (also known as younger-onset), which often appears when someone is in their 40s or 50s.
What is Hospice ?
Hospice is a special concept of care designed to provide comfort and support to patients and their families when a life-limiting illness no longer responds to cure-oriented treatments.
Hospice care neither prolongs life nor hastens death. Hospice staff and volunteers offer a specialized knowledge of medical care, including pain management.
The goal of hospice care is to improve the quality of a patient's last days
by offering comfort and dignity.
Hospice care is provided by a team-oriented group of specially trained
professionals, volunteers and family members.
Hospice addresses all symptoms of a disease, with a special emphasis
on controlling a patient's pain and discomfort.
Tammie Thompson
Laura and her family and staff provided the most wonderful home for my 99 year old step father. He loved the care providers and he received the best care we could have ever hoped for. Miramar Home Care gave him happiness and provided his family comfort that he was being cared for in the most exceptional way. I would recommend Miramar Home Care to anyone needing to find a place for a loved one. The Dorca's and staff provide a home with amazing care, compassion, and kindness.
