Though the biggest risk factor for dementia is the natural ageing process, the condition is not inevitable. When factors of ageing do lead to dementia, the impact can be significant for individuals and their families.
Guardian Angel Carers offer a wide range of relevant services. We support both the person with dementia and those providing care who may also need assistance.
Symptoms of Dementia
Most often, memory loss is the earliest indication of dementia. Other early warning signs of dementia may include:
Dementia affects people in different ways and symptoms develop at varied rates. You can even ascribe early symptoms of dementia to stress, fatigue or normal ageing. However, doctors encourage anyone experiencing signs to make an appointment with their GP. Without treatment, symptoms of dementia can lead to more serious features of the condition more quickly.
We can support you and your loved ones, no matter what stage of dementia currently affects your family.
The best known causes of dementia are:
Early diagnosis and intervention offer many benefits that can assist a person coping with the challenges of dementia. However, not everyone reacts the same.
For some, a diagnosis can spark feelings of despair, anger, and sadness. Also, conversations about dementia care can be emotionally challenging, especially if they involve the discussion of end-of-life wishes.
Others find it reassuring that communication problems and behavioural changes have a clear explanation. Patients and their families may also welcome the start of treatment and customised care. In either case, your Guardian Angel Carers will act with the necessary sensitivity and provide the support you need.
