Receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/a> is debilitating for both the patient and their family members. There are so many questions. Even with the advancements more recently made in medicine, all of the answers aren\u2019t readily available. This makes it important but also sometimes complicated to plan and consider treatment options.<\/p>\n

Adding to this stress is the fact that seemingly more people are diagnosed today than were even 10 or 20 years ago. So, why is this? The answer is twofold \u2013 people are living longer than ever in the past, and age is a risk factor for developing dementia. In fact, about 40-percent of seniors over the age of 80 are living with some form of cognitive impairment. Additionally, we\u2019re seeing advancements in assessment tools which is leading to earlier and more definitive diagnoses of Alzheimer\u2019s and other forms of dementia.<\/p>\n

Learning that you have dementia at an earlier age is scary. However, the positive to this is that treatments can begin sooner which may slow the progression of the disease. As we continue to see advancements in medical technologies, perhaps one day these earlier diagnoses will also lead to a cure for Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

After receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer\u2019s<\/a>, families sometimes struggle in knowing where to turn for information and support. Southern Californians living with this disease have access to some exceptional resources in our community.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple worth checking out:<\/p>\n

Memory Club<\/h2>\n

Sponsored by Alzheimer\u2019s Los Angeles, Beach Cities Health District<\/a>, this program is made up of groups of peers who are experiencing memory loss and their family members. The group meets for six to eight weeks offering support and introducing the members to important life skills that can help them to remain independent for a longer period of time. Interactive educational presentations are an important part of these group meetings and include topics like:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Expectations as the disease progresses
\n\u2022 Treatment options and clinical trials
\n\u2022 Diet and exercise advice
\n\u2022 Cultivating happiness and purpose
\n\u2022 Information about community resources
\n\u2022 Strategies for strengthening working and short term memory
\n\u2022 How to effectively manage stress and adapt when faced with adversity<\/p>\n

In later sessions, the larger group break into smaller support groups. One consists of the individuals with cognitive challenges. The other includes family members. Stories are shared, problems are solved and information is provided.<\/p>\n

The next six week sessions is tentatively scheduled to begin on March 28. Email dhart@abc-seniors.com or call (310) 792-8666 and ask for Dr. Hart for more information or to sign up.<\/p>\n

Early Memory Loss Forum<\/h2>\n

Hosted by Alzheimer\u2019s Los Angeles, this day long forum is for anyone in the early stages of Alzheimer\u2019s or concerned family members and others providing support. The forum will be held on April 6, 2019 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm and provide information on important community resources as well as break out sessions. Participants include a neurologist, elder law attorney<\/a> and individuals living with memory loss. Attendees will learn about the latest research in Alzheimer\u2019s disease as well as alternative therapies and interventions. General admission is $20 and the registration<\/a> deadline is March 29.<\/p>\n
