Risk Factors for Alzheimer’s/Dementia
Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disease, and the most common cause of dementia, while dementia is a term that describes a group of symptoms. The causes of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are not yet well-understood, and researchers believe that there is not just a single cause. Rather, Alzheimer’s disease is probably the result of multiple risk factors, some of which can be controlled to some extent. Alzheimer’s and dementia risk factors include:
- Aging
- Gender (Women are at Higher Risk)
- High Blood Pressure
- Diabetes
- Poor Nutrition
- Heart Disease
- Genetics and Family History
- Stroke or Depression
- Reduced Social Interaction

Cognitive Impairment Treatments with Proven Results
Scientific and medical research on Alzheimer’s disease has yielded impactful treatments, which we at Nurse Anytime incorporate into our nursing care for Alzheimer’s patients. Our at-home cognitive care greatly improves the lives of patients with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Using cognitive therapy, we help seniors to improve their comprehension and cognitive function in a variety of areas, including language, spatial and visual orientation, memory, critical thinking, and computation. What’s more, this therapeutic treatment can dramatically improve some of the negative behaviors that dementia patients exhibit through no fault of their own. The techniques we use:
- Challenge seniors with unique problems in social settings, which builds brain resilience.
- Work toward a goal of whole-brain stimulation by focusing on five critical areas of cognition.
- Promote better brain health in healthy seniors, as well as those with cognitive impairments.
