Care for Dementia Patients
Dementia is a general term used to describe symptoms of impairment in memory, communication, and thinking. The chances of having dementia increases with age. A person with dementia may show any of the symptoms listed below, mostly due to memory loss.
They may notice some symptoms themselves while others may only be noticed by caregivers or healthcare workers.
Possible symptoms of dementia
- Recent memory loss: a sign of this might be asking the same question repeatedly
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks: for example, making a drink or cooking a meal
- Problems communicating: difficulty with language; forgetting simple words or using the wrong ones
- Disorientation: getting lost on a previously familiar street, for example
- Misplacing things: forgetting the location of everyday items such as keys, or wallets and even the location their drugs and prescriptions for example
- Mood changes: sudden and unexplained changes in outlook or disposition
- Personality changes:perhaps becoming irritable, suspicious or fearful
- Loss of initiative: showing less interest in starting something or going somewhere
- As the patient ages, late-stage dementia symptoms tend to worsen.
