Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia that affects memory, thinking, and cognitive learning. It is a progressive neurological disorder that causes the brain cells to shrink and die.

Alzheimer’s results in a decline in the person’s thinking, behavioral, and social skills and keep them off from leading a normal life.

Yearly, millions of people have Alzheimer’s that require them to be admitted to inpatient care.

The early and frequent signs of the disease include forgetting events or conversations. As the condition advances, a person with Alzheimer’s may have a hard time living a routine life as they tend to forget daily activities. The complications in the later stages may become severe- such as malnutrition, dehydration, and persistent infections.
