How does Alzheimer’s disease affect the brain?

Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia characterized by a decline in memory, thinking, and daily functioning. It results from the degeneration of brain cells due to the buildup of plaques and tangles, which disrupts communication within the brain. This progressive decline often necessitates 24 Hour Care to manage the condition effectively.
