What to do about serious memory problems

If you are having any of the problems listed on page 4, see your doctor. It’s important to find out what might be causing a serious memory problem. Your treatment depends on the cause of the problem.

Living with Alzheimer’s Disease

Every 72 seconds, someone in the United States is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. There are now more than 5 million Americans living with the disease. What is not widely known—even by some physicians—is that there are products available that are made especially to help make Alzheimer’s patients’ lives better with the disease, and, in some cases, to help them remain living at home longer and safer.

The Alzheimer’s Store is dedicated to providing unique products and information for those caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease. Every product in the store has been carefully selected to make living with Alzheimer’s disease as easy as possible. The store also provides a rating system for products that tells potential buyers whether a particular product is for the early, middle, or late stages of the disease. For example:

A clock that will automatically remind an Alzheimer’s sufferer of the day and date. This easy-to-read, battery-operated wall clock displays the day of the week and date, and automatically changes at midnight

A medication dispenser that prevents accidental double-dosing. This automatic medication dispenser beeps at the right time, provides the right meds, and is lockable so no more pills can be taken until the next dose time. This dispenser should not be used by a person with Alzheimer’s without supervision, but it can be very useful for people with milder forms of memory or cognitive impairment.

A telephone that allows the user to push the picture of the person they want to call. For those who may be a little forgetful or who have difficulty seeing the numbers, this phone is a blessing.

With over 200 products that address various activities of daily living and caregiver challenges, the Alzheimer’s Store is dedicated to finding and providing products for people with Alzheimer’s disease and those caring for them.
