LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS AND CONTACT INFORMATION

DEAR READERS OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI It is with particular joy that we publish the second book of our 19th year of publication. The need for reliable, hard-to-find information is greater than ever. In our market area we have more senior citizens than ever before, with a greater need of assistance than in the past, and greater pressure placed on our community resources to meet these needs. You may have noticed that the past three years brought an increase in demand for assisted living and affordable independent senior housing. This is reflected in our listings of these two categories. Also, the demand for in home assistance has risen as seniors choose to remain at home with little assistance such as meal preparation, transportation, and personal care. Many of our Seniors Blue Book sponsors listed on page 56 can

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear in their mid60s. Estimates vary, but experts suggest that more than 5 million Americans may have Alzheimer’s. Changes In the Brain Scientists continue to unravel the complex brain changes involved in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. It seems likely that damage to the brain starts a decade or more before memory and other cognitive problems appear. During this pre-clinical stage of Alzheimer’s disease, people seem to be symptom-free, but toxic changes are taking place in the brain. Abnormal deposits of proteins form amyloid plaques and tau tangles throughout the brain, and once-healthy neurons stop functioning, lose connections with other neurons, and die. The damage initially appears to take place in the hippocampus, the part of the brain essential in forming memories. As more neurons die, additional parts of the brain are affected, and they begin to shrink. By the final stage of Alzheimer’s, damage is widespread, and brain tissue has shrunk significantly. What Is the Difference Between Alzheimer’s & Dementia? Alzheimer’s disease and dementia

are often used interchangeably as many people believe that one means the other. In fact, the distinction between the two diseases often causes confusion on the behalf of patients, families and caregivers. Discover how the two diagnoses, while related, are remarkably different. n

W hat Is Dementia? Dementia is an umbrella term for a set of symptoms including impaired thinking and memory. It is a term that is often associated with the cognitive decline of aging. However, issues other than Alzheimer’s can cause dementia. Other common causes of dementia are Huntington’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

W hat Is Alzheimer’s Disease? According to the Center for Disease Control, Alzheimer’s disease is a common cause of dementia causing as many as 50 to 70% of all dementia cases. In fact, Alzheimer’s is a very specific form of dementia. Symptoms of Alzheimer’s include impaired thought, impaired speech, and confusion. Doctors use a vari-

What is Alzheimer’s Disease? continued from page 13 ety of screenings to determine the cause of dementia including blood tests, mental status evaluations and brain scans. n

H ow Are They Different? When a person is diagnosed with dementia, they are being diagnosed with a set of symptoms. This is similar to someone who has a sore throat. Their throat is sore but it is not known what is causing that particular symptom. It could be allergies, strep throat, or a common cold. Similarly, when someone has dementia they are experiencing symptoms without being told what is causing those symptoms.

Another major difference between the two is that Alzheimer’s is not a reversible disease. It is degenerative and incurable at this time. Some forms of dementia, such as a drug interaction or a vitamin deficiency, are actually reversible or temporary. Once a cause of dementia is found appropriate treatment and counseling can begin. Until a proper diagnosis is made, the best approach to any dementia is engagement, communication and loving care. What Causes Alzheimer’s? Scientists don’t yet fully understand what causes Alzheimer’s disease in most people. In people with early-onset Alzheimer’s, a genetic mutation is usually the cause. Late-onset Alzheimer’s arises from a complex series of brain changes that occur over decades. The causes

probably include a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. The importance of any one of these factors in increasing or decreasing the risk of developing Alzheimer’s may differ from person to person. The Basics of Alzheimer’s Scientists are conducting studies to learn more about plaques, tangles, and other biological features of Alzheimer’s disease. Advances in brain imaging techniques allow researchers to see the development and spread of abnormal amyloid and tau proteins in the living brain, as well as changes in brain structure and function. Scientists are also exploring the very earliest steps in the disease process by studying changes in the brain and body fluids that can be detected years before Alzheimer’s symptoms appear. Findings from these studies will help in understanding the causes of Alzheimer’s and make diagnosis easier.

One of the great mysteries of Alzheimer’s disease is why it largely strikes older adults. Research on normal brain aging is shedding light on this question. For example, scientists are learning how age-related changes in the brain may harm neurons and contribute to Alzheimer’s damage. These age-related changes include atrophy (shrinking) of certain parts of the brain, inflammation, production of unstable molecules called free radiContinued on next page Indicates website link on seniorsbluebook.com

What is Alzheimer’s Disease? continued cals, and mitochondrial dysfunction (a breakdown of energy production within a cell). n

G enetics – Most people with Alzheimer’s have the late-onset form of the disease, in which symptoms become apparent in their mid-60s. The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is involved in late-onset Alzheimer’s. This gene has several forms. One of them, APOE E4, increases a person’s risk of developing the disease and is also associated with an earlier age of disease onset. However, carrying the APOE E4 form of the gene does not mean that a person will definitely develop Alzheimer’s disease, and some people with no APOE ε4 may also develop the disease.

Also, scientists have identified a number of regions of interest in the genome (an organism’s complete set of DNA) that may increase a person’s risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s to varying degrees. Early-onset Alzheimer’s occurs in people age 30 to 60 and represents less than 5 percent of all people with Alzheimer’s. Most cases are caused by an inherited change in one of three genes, resulting in a type known as early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease, or FAD. For others, the disease appears to develop without any specific, known cause, much as it does for people with late-onset disease. Most people with Down syndrome develop Alzheimer’s. This may be because people with Down 20 SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI – 2020 SUMMER-WINTER

syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21, which contains the gene that generates harmful amyloid. n

H ealth, Environmental, and Lifestyle Factors – Research suggests that a host of factors beyond genetics may play a role in the development and course of Alzheimer’s disease. There is a great deal of interest, for example, in the relationship between cognitive decline and vascular conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure, as well as metabolic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. Ongoing research will help us understand whether and how reducing risk factors for these conditions may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.

A nutritious diet, physical activity, social engagement, and mentally stimulating pursuits have all been associated with helping people stay healthy as they age. These factors might also help reduce the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. Clinical trials are testing some of these possibilities. Concerned about memory loss or other symptoms?

ing, personal care tasks can become difficult for seniors as they age.

And while many elderly individuals are still able to maintain their own home, they may require assistance with basic homemaking, medication management and errands. Whether you’re selecting a personal care provider for yourself or a member of your family, it’s important to evaluate your options carefully before settling on a home health agency.

Use an online or printed senior services directory to locate personal care agencies in your area, such as this publication.

Interview both the owner of the company and the nurse or assistant who will be visiting your home.

Ask for references, and call members of the

agencies you interview are capable of providing assistance with those needs.

Discuss your decision with close friends and family members. It’s always wise to have a second opinion when selecting something as important as an in-home personal care nurse. If you’re unsure about whether you should simply hire a personal care agency or make the leap to an assisted living or nursing facility, call the caring staff at Seniors Blue Book.

Con games are nothing new; they’ve been around for decades. The one thing that’s changing the frequency with which seniors are being targeted by criminals looking to make a quick buck. Seniors comprise about 40% of all fraud victims. The fear of running out of money and the appeal of a windfall “get rich quick” opportunity make older adults so vulnerable to tricksters, scammers and con criminals. Here are the five common scams against seniors:

Prizes and SweepstakesScams A senior is told he or she has won a sweepstakes and all that’s needed is a check to cover the taxes. Or, a senior will receive a fake check for $10,000 with instructions to deposit the money and send back $3,000 to cover taxes. By the time the senior learns the deposited check is no good, his or her money is lost. Home-Improvement Frauds Criminals will knock on a senior’s door offering to fix an obvious problem; they’ll “fake’ the repair and charge several hundred dollars (a low “senior” rate!) for the repair. Worse is when you pay “half” in advance; you’ll never see the repairman agai. “Phishing” Schemes The caller says they’re from a financial institution and someone is trying to use your credit, so your personal information must be verified. You give them your Social Security, credit card, and bank account numbers. They use this to steal money from you. (NEVER give information like this

to ANYONE – see #5 below) Internet Fraud A senior who is unfamiliar with use of the Internet can unwittingly give a credit card number to a scammer. Identity Theft A senior who gives a birth date and Social Security number to a stranger can open up his or her entire personal financial history to a thief.

What can we do to lessen the chance of being scammed or defrauded? FIRST of all, you’re old enough to know if it sounds too good to be true, it’s not true. SECOND, you do not have to talk to telemarketers; your phone is not an open door to your house. THIRD, do not make quick decisions about spending money or giving information to anyone, and have a trusted family member or friend you can consult whenever in doubt. FINALLY, there are no “quick money” opportunities that just happen to show-up from a stranger; you know better, so don’t be fooled. Be vigilant; criminals will try just about anything. Scammers have no conscience; they don’t care about you or your family. If they approach you it’s by their design, not happenstance, and they intend to get your money. Think of your telephone as you think of your front door. You don’t open it to just anybody, and you can open and close it whenever you want to. ~
