Sign & Symptoms: Alzheimer’s vs. Aging

How can you tell if it is Alzheimer’s? Not everyone who experiences memory loss is suffering from Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Signs of dementia can include:

  • Impaired focus
  • Uncharacteristic mood changes
  • Difficulty finding the right words to use
  • Repetition of sentences and tasks
  • short-term memory loss

The best way to know for certain is to consult a physician. There are currently medications available to help slow the progression but there is not a cure for this disease.

How Assisting Hands Helps with Memory Care

“I just want to take a moment to describe my experience with Rhonda George from Assisting Hands. She has been dispensing my Mom’s medications for her twice a day for several months. As my mother’s daughter I have seen firsthand her care, compassion, and professional manor. As a result of her attention regarding my mother’s medications, I had also requested she be the caretaker that gives my Mom a shower twice weekly. My Mom can be difficult and uncooperative. But Rhonda has a way of respectfully guiding my Mom into showering even when my Mom tries to deflect her hygiene schedule. She is mature, funny, kind and a godsend to me and my Mom. But yesterday Rhonda went from caregiver to lifesaver. She came in to give my mother her meds. My mom was too weak to open the door so she summoned security to open the door. She found my mom in a pool of blood by her head. She immediately called 911 and EMS came to my mother’s room. I arrived just as EMS was entering the room. Rhonda was cool, collected, professional, and tried to keep both my mom and myself calm and not freak out from the terrifying scene. EMS transported my mom to Cape Coral Hospital where she was given three staples to close the wound. Rhonda George is someone who loves her work and it shows. Thank you Assisting Hands for providing priceless service and compassion during this very difficult time in my family’s life.”
