As the body ages, so does the brain. Many older people struggle with conditions associated with brain aging, including Alzheimer’s disease. Although this disease is not a normal part of aging, it’s essential to be aware of how this condition can affect the brain and know how to promote brain health as a part of senior care. 

Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness

Alzheimer’s disease impacts thousands of seniors each year, causing a decline in their health. Having conversations, getting dressed, or doing daily tasks is difficult for those struggling with Alzheimer’s. While forgetting things is an early sign of the disease, it doesn’t mean a person has it. 

Being aware of the effects of Alzheimer’s is essential for promoting brain and mental health for seniors. Every senior is different and will uniquely respond to assessments and treatments, especially in specific environments. 

Promoting Brain Health

Improving memory and cognitive function as we age is essential for brain health. Maintaining meaningful social interactions can improve brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Playing memory games, light exercise, and engaging in favorite hobbies are a few ways to promote brain health for seniors. 

In-home senior care is an excellent way to help promote brain health for seniors who need assisted living care. Caregivers can provide intentional care for those who need Alzheimer’s care. These caregivers work one-on-one with seniors in the comfort of their homes, which helps them strengthen memory skills as they receive quality medical and emotional care.
