Alzheimer’s is a journey, not just for the individual but also for their loved ones. At Cross Timbers Nursing and Rehabilitation, we’re here to guide you through each stage with compassion and expertise.

The Early Stage: Mild Symptoms

In the early stage, Alzheimer’s often manifests as mild memory loss. You might notice your loved one forgetting recent talks or having trouble finding the right words. They may still be independent at this point; you might wish to consider getting professional guidance as how to prepare for the changes ahead.

The Middle Stage: Increased Confusion

As Alzheimer’s progresses to the middle stage, confusion becomes more pronounced. Your loved one might have trouble recognizing familiar faces or places, and daily tasks become more challenging. Provide support by offering a safe environment where residents can navigate these challenges with ease. At the same time, family members may wish to join support groups to garner information and support with others who are going through similar situations.

The Late Stage: Loss of Independence

In the late stage, Alzheimer’s patients may require full-time care. Communication can become difficult, and mobility may decline. At this stage, ensuring your loved one’s comfort and well-being is our top priority. We work closely with families to create a care plan that meets their unique needs.

Navigating the stages of Alzheimer’s can be challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Cross Timbers Nursing and Rehabilitation, we’re committed to providing the care and support your family needs at every step. If you have questions or need guidance, don’t hesitate to contact us.
