What is Dementia?
A Detailed Description of Dementia
 Dementia is term used to describe any condition that causes deterioration over time of a variety of different brain functions such as memory, thinking, recognition, language, planning and personality.
Dementia is a collective name for progressive degenerative brain syndromes which affect memory, thinking, behavior and emotion. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, affecting up to 90% of people living with dementia. But there are a large number of conditions which cause the symptoms of dementia, as a result of changes that happen in the brain and the ultimate loss of nerve cells (neurons). Other types of dementia include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies and fronto-temporal dementia (including Pick's disease).
Most kinds of dementia have similar symptoms including:
- Loss of memory
- Problems with thinking and planning
- Difficulties with language
- Failure to recognize people or objects
- A change of personality
Every 3 seconds, someone in the world develops dementia. By 2050, the number of people living with dementia around the world will have more than trebled, making the disease one of the most significant health crises of the 21st century.
If you or a loved one is living with dementia, you
are NOT alone. Call us today (561) 585-0400.

Are Your Parents Being Stubborn?
Have you tried to suggest support to your aging
parents
but made no progress?
Have you tried to suggest support to your aging parents but made no progress? Do you find that your aging parents do not heed your advice? A 2015 research study has found that many adult children and aging adults perceive parents as being stubborn.
[1]That is to say, not only do adult children report their parents as being stubborn, but those parents also self-report acting as such.
"Stubborn," in this case, is defined as resisting forms of assistance or advice. Adult children may perceive this attitude as very persistent and resistant behavior. They perceive stubbornness a lot more than aging adults do for themselves. In this same study, perceptions of stubbornness varied depending on the quality of the parent/child relationship, the level of disabilities in both parties, and the extent to which children and parents interact with each other. These dynamics could lead to tensions between adult children and their parents who are experiencing more difficulties as they age. Why could this be?
