Alzheimer’s and Dementia Home Care in Boulder / Broomfield
Alzheimer’s can be overwhelming for a family caregiver, particularly if your loved one is in the more serious stages of this disease. If you are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, BrightStar Care® of Boulder / Broomfield can provide compassionate care and support so you can spend more quality time with your loved one.
 
In order to show support and raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease Brightstar Care of Boulder is wearing purple, the color of the Alzheimer’s movement, this month.
 
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan designated November National Alzheimer’s disease Awareness Month.  Health.com says “Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia, damages parts of the brain involved in memory, intelligence, judgment, language, and behavior. Almost half of people afflicted with Alzheimer's are between 75 and 85, although a rare, inherited form of the disease can affect people in their 40s. While the loss of cognitive ability is irreversible, the rate of disease progression varies by individual.” Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects not just the person afflicted but also everyone around them.
 
There is no known way to combat this terrible disease.  However, exercising regularly, eating healthy, and maintaining a healthy weight may help reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer’s according to a study published in the American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry.  Staying active in the community and proactively not isolating yourself can help keep your memory strong and healthy. North American Health Care, Inc. is working to raise awareness to help those challenged by Alzheimer’s.
 
If you are unsure if you or a loved one is one of 5.4 million affected Americans you can read the 25 Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease at health.com.  Go purple with a purpose and help raise awareness for Alzheimer’s disease.
