By Paula Spencer, Caring.com
The memory loss and other cognitive changes characteristic of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and most other forms of dementia can&#8217;t be reversed. But there are some proven ways to delay further decline, at least over the short term.
1. Mental Activity

By Paula Spencer, Caring.com
Sexual urges don&#8217;t stop just because Alzheimer&#8217;s or another dementing illness invades the brain. Sometimes this is a blessing; some long-married couples say that the mind and body long remember the behaviors of sexual intimacy, even when short-term memory is on the fritz, which helps reinforce their closeness despite the disease-related adversity.

By Paula Spencer, Caring.com
Does a friend or family member accept the reality of his or her situation? What about the other family members in the orbit of concern? Do they realistically get what&#8217;s what&#8211;or are they in the throes of denial?
Dealing with denial ranks among the more stressful frustrations for caregivers:

Alzheimer&#8217;s disease affects newly learned information or recent memories first. Memories of the more distant past&#8211;including arcane details such as names and places&#8211;may endure for some time. The majority of longer-held memories don&#8217;t typically erode noticeably until the middle stage of the disease. That&#8217;s why [...]]]></description>

By Paula Spencer, Caring.com senior editor
One vexing thing about Alzheimer&#8217;s, especially in the beginning, is how its effects differ from person to person. A person you are caring for or know might not experience every symptom or behavioral change, and the disease&#8217;s timetable can vary. A particular Alzheimer&#8217;s stage may last years longer for one [...]]]></description>
