Dementia/Alzheimer Care Program
Caremed
recognizes the importance of Dementia/Alzheimer's and has developed training,
oversight, and procedures to help ease the stress, strain and burden to the
caregiver while increasing the safety for the patient and maintaining their
independence as long as possible.
Generally
speaking, dementia is an illness of older adults, which suggests that as our
population live longer, the urgency to better address dementia increases.
Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of cognitive disorders typically
characterized by memory impairment, as well as marked difficulty in the domains
of language, motor activity, object recognition, and disturbance of executive
function – the ability to plan, organize, and abstract.
