Tips on Easing Sundowner Syndrome

Sundowner Syndrome, also known as “late-day confusion,” is a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. As the name presumes, those with Sundowner Syndrome experience symptoms in the late afternoon and evening, as opposed to earlier in the day.

Signs of Sundowning include behaviors such as confusion, aggression, anxiety, pacing, and wandering. While the specific cause is unknown, factors that trigger Sundowner Syndrome include low lighting, fatigue, increased shadows, infections, and difficulty separating dreams from reality. [Read more…]

Understanding Aggression in Men with Alzheimer’s

Adults who work in assisted living communities have long suspected there were underlying reasons to explain some of the trends in memory care program admissions. Even though the number of women who live in senior living communities is significantly greater than the number of men, more men than women are being admitted to memory care programs across the country. In fact, men are moving in to dementia care communities at a rate that is 14% faster than women.

Researchers who dug in to this issue discovered a few very interesting differences between men and women who have Alzheimer’s disease. [Read more…]

Help finding Alzheimer’s Care

The number of care facilities for people with dementia and Alzheimer’s is on the rise, and it’s no surprise. According to a new report, more than 35 million people worldwide live with dementia today. By 2050, that number is expected to more than triple to 115 million. While people may be able to live independently in the early stages of the Alzheimer’s, the majority will eventually require constant, specialized care. For many families, this means the need for a specialized Alzheimer’s care facility.

Latest Developments in Alzheimer’s Research

Once Alzheimer’s becomes personal, you find yourself following the latest news topics and scientific research on the disease. Some of the most recent coverage has reported that the studies of the eye can lead to earlier Alzheimer’s diagnosis. One hallmark of Alzheimer’s is the accumulation of sticky plaques in the brain, made up of proteins called beta amyloid. Unfortunately, there’s no definitive test that can confirm the presence of the plaques. Recently, though, researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles discovered that a corresponding amount of protein can be found in the very back of the eye. Based on their research, a noninvasive test was developed to check a person’s retina for the beta amyloid plaques. More studies are needed, but this research may lead to earlier diagnosis, helping Alzheimer’s victims and their families. Click here for more info on this new Alzheimer’s research.
