Understanding the Stages of Alzheimer Disease (Part 2)

The later stage of Alzheimer Disease will show an increasing severity in the above symptoms. Patients often start to confuse the present with the past. They may forget the names and faces of the people closest to them. This memory loss extends to places and events.

Patients in this stage of the disease will be totally dependent on you as their caregiver and will need help with even the most routine of activities. Many patients will be confined to their bed and will stop talking altogether because they no longer have language skills.

The final stages of Alzheimer Disease can be very devastating. Other medical conditions can set in, which can make Alzheimer Disease even more difficult to manage. The final stage of this disease often results in the death of the patient.
