Q: What happens as a person progresses through the stages of Alzheimers?
A: Keep in mind that as a person moves through the stages of Alzheimer's, he or she will need more care. According to the medical professionals, one reason for that is because the medicines used to treat Alzheimer's disease can only control symptoms; they cannot cure the disease. Symptoms, such as memory loss and confusion can get worse over time.
Because of this, families should reach out for more help to make sure that your loved one is safe and properly cared for. You may feel that asking for help shows weakness or a lack of caring, but the opposite is true. Asking for help shows your strength. It means you know your limits and when to seek support.
