Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, behavior, and other cognitive functions. It is the most common cause of dementia, a group of disorders characterized by a decline in cognitive function that interferes with daily activities.

Alzheimer’s patients may experience confusion, disorientation, and memory loss, which can lead to accidents, falls, and other safety hazards. A safe and supportive environment can help reduce the risk of injury and promote a sense of security and well-being for the patient.
