Alzheimer's Disease Care
About 60–80% of dementia cases globally are caused by Alzheimer's disease, making it the most frequent cause of dementia. Memory, thinking, logic, language, behavior, and the capacity to carry out daily tasks are all progressively impacted by this neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer's disease is not regarded as a typical aspect of aging, despite the fact that it primarily affects older persons. As the illness worsens, people have communication problems, personality changes, cognitive impairment, and an increased need on others for daily care. These changes have a significant influence not just on the person with Alzheimer's disease but also on families, caregivers, and medical professionals who must continue to support them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that gradually affects memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday activities. It is the most common form of dementia.
Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease. However, treatments and person-centred care can help manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and support independence.
Early symptoms often include memory loss, confusion, difficulty completing familiar tasks, poor judgement, language difficulties, and changes in mood or behaviour.
Person-centred care respects the individual's preferences, abilities, values, and life experiences while promoting dignity, independence, and overall wellbeing.
Healthcare professionals can provide education, emotional support, respite information, community resources, and involve caregivers in care planning and decision-making.
CPD helps healthcare professionals remain up to date with current evidence, improve clinical skills, strengthen communication, and provide safe, compassionate, evidence-based care.
