Understanding dementia and its subtypes allows for a better treatment plan and outcomes for each individual. The approach is to use a broad, evidence-based treatment program analysis while never deviating from the family’s core foundational beliefs. To start there is a need to better understand the disease of dementia and it’s causes. Although, there are several types of dementia, 70% of dementia diagnosis are Alzheimer’s related, but many have both Alzheimer’s as well as other diagnoses. The other areas could be “Left Frontal Lobe physiological issues – strokes, physiological or medically induced changes,” or “Traumatic Brain Injury” or “Chemically Induced Dementia,” even early onset of “Parkinson’s.” Symptoms may include memory loss trouble planning and doing familiar task. Identification is the first step, then evaluation of medical management combined with the best environment to protect the patient. This is a professional decision. Ignoring the symptoms create a worsening environment. We often perform assessments – physical, mental, spiritual, support systems and existing treatment. Without a complete understanding, the patient (or resident) cannot improve over time. Sometimes a safe, secure environment is required.
