What is Dementia?
Dementia is a disease that particularly affects older people. Dementia patients have difficulty in performing daily living activities, communicating and making decisions. Therefore, the care of patients with dementia is very important. We are aware of the importance of providing caregiving services to patients with dementia.
Dementia patients exhibit various cognitive, behavioral and spiritual characteristics depending on the progression of the disease. Typical symptoms include; short-term memory loss, difficulty finding direction, personality changes, anxiety, insecurity, depression and aggression. The patients' capacity to perform daily living activities gradually decreases. This causes patients to become dependent and need care. For this reason, dementia patients may need caregivers from nursing companies.
The Importance of Dementia Patient Care
Care of patients with dementia is extremely important in terms of improving their quality of life and preserving their independence as much as possible. With appropriate care, patients' current skills can be maintained, cognitive and physical decline can be slowed, and behavioral problems can be reduced. Additionally, burnout can be prevented for caregivers. Therefore, dementia patient care is of great importance for the patient, family and society.
