Memory care assisted living
Alzheimer's disease has a huge name in Canada. In 2011/2012 a report stated, about half of the estimated 228,000 Canadians aged 45 or older who had been diagnosed with dementia lived in private households, while the other half lived in long-term residential care facilities, with dementia help. We provide prolific and economic dementia care under our service plans.
People with dementia often have other medical conditions that increase their need for assistance and make caring for them more complex. Among those in private households, 63% had incontinence and 53% had high blood pressure. Between a quarter and a third had heart disease, a mood disorder, or diabetes. Even when age was taken into account, people with dementia were significantly more likely than those without dementia to have heart disease, incontinence or a mood disorder.
Symptoms
Alzheimer's Disease, the most common form of dementia, is a degenerative condition that involves progressive brain cell failure.
