Dementia in older adults is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is caused by damage to brain cells, leading to difficulty in recalling events, recognizing people, or managing daily tasks. Common forms include Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia.
Early signs of dementia include frequent forgetfulness, confusion about time and place, or difficulty finding words.
Forgetfulness in older adults, however, can also be a normal part of aging. With age, occasional memory lapses such as misplacing items or forgetting names can occur but do not usually affect daily life. Distinguishing between normal forgetfulness and dementia is key. If memory issues interfere with daily tasks, it’s important to consult a doctor, as early diagnosis can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Old age brings with it a decline in the normal functioning of the body. Sometimes many of the symptoms overlap making it difficult for the elderly to carry on with their regular work. In such cases, an organization like ASLI or Association of Senior Living India can be of great help. Organizations play a crucial role in caring for the elderly by providing structured support, resources, and services. They offer home care, medical assistance, social activities, and emotional support to enhance the quality of life for older adults. Through specialized programs, organizations ensure that seniors receive proper healthcare, nutrition, and companionship, reducing isolation and promoting mental well-being.
Organizations also educate caregivers, offering training and respite care, allowing families to better support their elderly loved ones. They advocate for policies and infrastructure that cater to the aging population, ensuring a safe, inclusive, and dignified environment for seniors.
