Understanding Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 50-60% of all cases. There is currently no known cause for Alzheimer’s disease and there is no cure for the condition.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological condition which can make it more and more difficult to remember, reason and use language. The loss of memory of recent events may be one of the first difficulties noticed. The person may also become disorientated, be at a loss for a word when speaking and have increasing difficulty with simple daily tasks such as using the phone, making meals or managing money.
