Mantoloking Dementia Speech Therapy

senior speech pathologyAs a person gets older, memory loss and thinking problems are common issues. People experiencing these problems will find it harder to process information or plan their day. Everyday activities also become difficult to do to the point where you will need assistance to do them.

People who experience severe memory loss and other thinking problems may have dementia. In some cases, dementia gets worse through time, and people have to live with it for as long as they live because there isn’t any cure for it.

If someone you know is experiencing dementia, and their speech is becoming a problem, you should take them to Mantoloking’s Neurorehab & Speech Healers, LLC. Here, you can get quality speech and language treatment and therapy for anyone who needs it. We are dedicated to customizing the therapies we offer so that patients can live their lives normally and reach out to the people around them.

Causes and Signs of Dementia

Traumatic Brain Injury TherapistDementia is not considered a disease, but it can be caused by various brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and others. Some medications and infections can also cause temporary dementia. However, these can go away after the medications are stopped or if the infection is cured.

To know if someone has dementia, you can tell if they display the following signs and symptoms:

1. Memory loss
2. Always distracted
3. Tends to be forgetful or confused
4. Finds it hard to follow discussions, make plans and goals
5. Can’t express what they need and want
6. Sudden personality changes
7. Depression
8. Problems with eating and swallowing

If dementia has progressed to its later stages, these people won’t be able to do any activity on their own and can’t speak clearly.

Testing and Treatment for Dementia

Mantoloking Dementia Speech Therapy adult speech pathology segment block 300x199If you suspect someone has dementia, it is important that you check with a doctor immediately so that they can run tests to confirm it. They will also check for other causes that lead to the issue. Some may even have to go to an audiologist and a speech pathologist to determine the severity of dementia.

Depending on the diagnosis given by the doctors who checked the patient’s condition, treatments will be focused on retaining the quality of life of the person as long as possible. For those suffering from speech problems, speech pathologists can help develop therapies that will allow patients to become independent despite their memory problems. Some of the therapies may be geared towards speech therapy, while others may focus on thinking and problem solving, as well as proper and safe eating. Family members are also taught on how to assist their family members during this time.
