A Thorough Discussion of Medications Potentially Linked to Dementia Risk
Dementia, influenced by aging and certain medications, may be exacerbated by drug classes such as anticholinergics, benzodiazepines, and antipsychotics, which are associated with cognitive impairment. Regular medication reviews by healthcare professionals are crucial for older adults to manage risks and optimize cognitive health.
Why Do Dementia Patients Sleep So Much? Understanding Oversleeping, Stages, and Care Approaches
Dementia often results in disrupted sleep patterns, leading to excessive daytime sleeping due to factors like brain damage affecting circadian rhythms, medication side effects, and lack of structure in daily activities. Caregivers must monitor these changes closely, as oversleeping can increase risks such as malnutrition or dehydration, and provide necessary support and routines to enhance patient engagement and well-being.
The transition from assisted living to skilled nursing care is often prompted by complex medical needs that assisted living cannot meet, with key indicators including frequent health declines, increased falls, severe memory issues, and caregiver burnout. Families should recognize these signs early to discuss options with healthcare providers and prepare for the emotional and logistical aspects of moving to a facility that offers comprehensive medical support.
