five signs of early on-set dementia
01.
Confusion
If you find that a family member is asking a question, or questions, over and over; if they are confusing the faces/names of family members; or have begun placing common kitchen items or bathroom items, etc. in the wrong areas, such as putting the ice cream in the pantry instead of the freezer — these could be early signs of dementia.
02.
Mixing Words
Forgetting vocabulary and the meaning of simple words or using them in the wrong context could be early signs of dementia. Maybe a family member is mixing words like "coffee" with "tea" or "sink" with "bin."
03.
Following Directions
If you notice a family member struggling with basic instructions, having trouble following procedures such as a simple cooking recipe, taking medications at the wrong time or wrong dose, paying bills improperly, etc., these could be the effects of dementia.
04.
Inability To Control Emotion
If a family member or loved one is always joyful and happy but than suddenly may become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious this can be a sign of dementia. This may be more of a struggle when in environments that are out of their comfort zone.
05.
Lack of personal hygiene
If you notice common hygiene practices and general self care becoming an issue, such as failure to shower or bathe, or forgetting to eat daily meals — these are worrisome problems that could be the results of cognitive impairment and dementia.
According to data compiled by the CDC, there are approximately 5.8 million people living in the United States who battle Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related conditions. Those numbers are growing as our population ages, and many cases may go unreported or undiagnosed often leaving those suffering until a crisis occurs. There’s really no way to gloss over the frightening possibilities that exist when dementia erodes cognitive ability.

Valeo™ Memory Care Nieghborhood
Our Valeo™ Memory Care is an engagement program we’ve designed to increase social interaction and stimulate cognitive abilities. This is not a cookie-cutter approach. We build programs tailored to individuals, not to aggregate data pools. In other words, we work with people, one-on-one. We get to know them on a deeper level as we ask questions and interview family members to compile a complete picture of who they are and the fantastic lives they’ve led. Engagement programs are designed according to an individual’s specific skills and abilities, so nothing is based on a one-size-fits-all method; everything is specific to the person, and it doesn’t get more personal than that!
