Compassionate Care For Memory Loss and Dementia

Sadly, one of the fastest growing areas of our industry relates to dementia and memory loss. For people experiencing these conditions, a structured, secure environment, such as the one provided by Hummingbird Lane, has proven to be essential to the successful management of this debilitating disease.

The symptoms of dementia include:

• Recent memory loss.
• Difficulty performing familiar tasks.
• Problems with language.
• Time and place disorientation.
• Poor judgment.
• Problems with abstract thinking.
• Misplacing things.
• Changes in mood.
• Personality changes
• Loss of initiative.

How is dementia treated?

Some causes of dementia can be treated. However, once brain cells have been destroyed, they cannot be replaced. Treatment may slow or stop the loss of more brain cells. When the cause of dementia can't be treated, the focus of our care is on helping the person with his or her daily activities and reducing upsetting symptoms. Some medicines can help people who have dementia. Your family doctor will talk with you about treatment options.
