A rapid increase in the num-
ber of elderly persons means
jnore Alzheimer’s disease
^ases than ever before.
I In the year 2000, about two
inillion Texans will be age 65
and older. Of these, more than
200,000 are expected to suffer
from Alzheimer’s disease.
; Though more than 180,000
Texans now have this illness,
inany people don’t know much
hbout Alzheimer’s disease. “It
is a dementing disease, a thief
of minds, a destroyer of person-
alities, wrecker of family
finances, filler of nursing
pomes,” said Morris H. Craig,
Director of TDK’s Alzheimer’s
Qisease Program. “It is also a
wading cause of death, after
peart disease, cancer and
{ttroke, causing 150,000 deaths
pach year nationwide. At this
lime, there are no known cures
4>r this disease, and even the
fauses of it are not clear,
■bough research continues.”
£ Alzheimer’s disease begins
almost imperceptibly as per-
haps an inability to find the
right word - especially nouns,
the need to write many remin-
der notes or wearing the same
clothers day after day. Person-
alities change to reflect less
spontaneity, ambition and
interest. At some point the suf-
ferer may become unable to
write or speak coherently, to
understand most spoken or
written language, or to rcognize
.anyone, including himself in a
1 mirror. The patient becomes
unable to feed himself and in
time, becomes bedridden and
incontinent Eventually, he or
she loses consciousness and is
unable to survive without total
care. ,
An Alzheimer’s patient is
usually cared for at home in the
beginning. As the patient’s
i mental powers slip away, the
• caregiving family agonizes over
rand usually concludes that
! nursing home care is the best
I choice for a patient who must
; be cared for around the clock.

be bewildering since there are
many different kinds of nursing
homes including religiously
affiliated, usually not-for-profit
homes and homes run for a pro-
fit. There are homes in which a
wide range of disabilities are
represented and homes with
designated Alzheimer’s units.
Some homes are run on a pay-
as-you-go basis and others are
life care facilities which
require an up-front payment
(sometimes the patient’s life
savings) and may them provide
care for life even after their
patient’s hinds are exhausted.
In selecting a nursing home,
families of Alzheimer’s disease
victims are advised to visit sev-
eral to give some basis for com-
parison. “Visit when you can
spend enough time to thorough-
ly check the facilities for every-
thing froril licensing to availa-
bility of snacks,” advised Craig.
“Visit at different times of the
day and on different days
before making a decision. Keep
in mid that often there are wait-
ing lists, so it’s necessary to
begin the selection process
before placement becomes
necessary.”
To provide support for Alz-
heimer’s caregivers, TDH runs
a toll-free hotline,
,1-800-242-3399, as part of its Alz-
heimer’s Disease Program.
TDH staff provide specialized
information, resources,
research information and
information regarding support
groups.
The good news is that Alz-
heimer’s disease does not
affect some 91 percent of those
over age 65,” said Craig. “And
research is continuing so that
in time, we may be able to pre-
vent and even cure
Alzheimer’s.”
