PRIMARY USER The primary users of this facility are residents who have been diagnosed with dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
-Ranging from mid-60s to the end of the second stage. -Dementia is a symptom of Alzhiemer’s and is a syndrome, not a disease. However, like Alzheimer’s, it is uncurable. -Alzhiemer’s, is a progressive brain disease that involves the physical deterioration of the brain. -Both dementia and Alzheimer’s victims exhibit similar symptoms
BEHAVIORAL CONCERNS Alzheimer’s is known for causing its victims to act out of character, causing them to say and do things they wouldn’t normally do. Categories of concerns: - Stage of Alzhiemer’s Disease - Aged physical concerns (Such as loss of cognitive abilities, weak muscles, loss of coordination, etc.) - Psychological concerns (Such as depression, loss of confidence, hallucinations, loss of perception of time, etc. - Generational Factors of the silent generation and Baby Boomers generation.
