Dementia: An Umbrella Term for Mental Decline

Dementia is not a single disease, but a broad term describing a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and daily functioning. While dementia is more common among older adults, it is not a normal part of aging. Understanding the specific type of dementia your loved one has can help you provide better support.

Early signs of dementia include:

• Forgetting familiar names or faces

• Difficulty with basic tasks or problem-solving

• Repeating questions or stories

• Getting lost in familiar places

AmoryCare’s trained caregivers can step in to support your loved one, helping with daily activities and ensuring they remain comfortable and safe.

• Personality and mood changes

At AmoryCare, we’re here to help ease the journey for both your loved one and your family. Our caregivers offer personalized care to support your loved one’s physical and emotional needs while respecting their dignity.
