One of every three Americans has a friend or relative with Alzheimer’s disease or a related form of dementia. Although Alzheimer’s can be diagnosed in adults of all ages, it most commonly affects the elderly.
      Alzheimer’s is a progressive degeneration of the brain that leads to memory loss, disorientation and other intellectual impairments. The exact cause of Alzheimer’s remains unknown, but improved diagnostic techniques have made the disease more accurately diagnosed.
      Many SunBridge facilities offer specialized care for people with dementia. These programs help residents retain their individuality, quality of life and sense of personal dignity in secure, safe surroundings. People with Alzheimer’s benefit from meaningful activities that help channel their abilities and a supportive social environment that reduces disorientation. Our trained staff understands their special needs. Families are encouraged to participate as critical members of the interdisciplinary treatment team in providing a comprehensive care plan.
