Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that moderately robs it’s victims of their memory, judgment, potential to think and reason, then ultimately leads to total dependence on others for the basic activities of life. Each victim’s path is different, but all pass through three Alzheimer’s stages.

Early-Stage Alzheimer’s

In the mild first stage of Alzheimer’s disease, memory loss or other cognitive problems come to be noticeable, but most people can cope with them and continue to function independently. people with mild Alzheimer’s disease tend to lose their zest for life, have issue finding the right words, ask repetitive questions, avoid manufacture decisions and come to be forgetful about money, clothes and daily chores. Other symptoms begin to appear:

Confusion about daily events, like appointments.

Makes up words, or stops talking to avoid mistakes.

Forgets current events.

Routine tasks, like grocery shopping, come to be more challenging.

Hides or puts things away in odd places – car keys in the refrigerator, for example – and forgets where they are.

Mid-Stage Alzheimer’s

In the moderate second stage of Alzheimer’s, which is also the longest, there is a noticeable decline in thinking abilities, accompanied by personality changes and physical challenges. The cognitive problems and memory loss of the earlier stage come to be worse. Tasteless changes in the moderate stage of Alzheimer’s disease may include:

Mixes up identities, for example thinking spouse is a stranger.

Continuously repeats stories or words.

May believe television story is real, and they are a part of it.

May see or hear things that are not there.

May come to be aggressive.

May wander.

May “sundown” – nap during the day and come to be active at night.

Late-Stage Alzheimer’s

In this most severe stage of Alzheimer’s disease, the personality deteriorates further, and people come to be totally dependent on others for even the most basic activities. Because the brain has lost so many cells, it affects all physical systems, so full time care is necessary. Because their body is shutting down, many refuse to eat, drink or acknowledge to touch. The end of life is near.
