Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain illness that results in dementia. Memory, cognition, and behavior are all compromised in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Common behaviors such as bewilderment, difficulties with language or movement, inability to identify friends or family members, illusions about their surroundings or reality, mood swings, and hostility might result from this. The number of people living with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States is anticipated to be close to 5.8 million, with the figure expected to quadruple by the year 2050. Alzheimer’s disease affects individuals as young as 60 and as old as 80.

How to help your family members deal with Alzheimer’s in unfamiliar settings
Going on trips with your loved one who has Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most challenging aspects of caring for them. In public, seniors who have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease may exhibit abnormal conduct, and this irregular conduct makes it difficult to transport them without causing a disturbance. Still, it is possible to prevent behavioral problems.
You can do several things to assist loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s disease in maintaining their quality of life for as long as possible.
When traveling to a new location, make sure to pack a familiar object from home so that your loved one may feel at ease and comfortable. Bring a blanket, a book, or anything else they enjoy so they may be relaxed and comfortable while you are out exploring.
