All About Care for Seniors

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a medical condition found amongst the older generation of adults. Beta-amyloid and tau are atypical protein deposits that affect the function of the brain’s neurons. The accumulation of beta-amyloid protein, amyloid plaques outside the neuron, and tau protein inside neurons disrupt the growth and damaging neurons (National Institutes of Health [NIH], 2017). The brain depends on the neuronal activity for sensory and motor functions (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research [Mayo], 2021). Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disorder that causes atrophy, which means the brain shrinks and the brain cells die (Mayo, 2021).

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but treatments improve the disease’s symptoms (Amen, 2017). However, Dr. Amen (2017) has stated that health-related illnesses, such as low blood circulation, diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The effort to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle decreases Alzheimer’s symptoms (Amen, 2017).

Addressing the symptoms and long-term effects of Alzheimer’s disease relies on help from caregivers and family. Caregivers play a significant role in the health and well-being of Alzheimer’s patients. All About Care for Seniors’goal is to substantially impact the community by offering services that benefit caregivers and Alzheimer’s patients.
