Incidence

• UK incidence of Alzheimer's disease in people over the age of 65 years is estimated to be 4.9 per 1000 person-years.

• Between 50 and 64% of people with Alzheimer's disease are estimated to have mild to moderately severe disease, and approximately 50% have moderately severe to severe disease.

• Alzheimer's disease is usually insidious in onset and develops slowly but steadily over several years.

• It predominantly affects older people.

• Progression is characterized by deterioration in cognition (for example, thinking, conceiving and reasoning)

05/01/23 hena jawaid 16

• functional ability (for example, activities of daily living such as dressing, personal hygiene and handling money)

• Carers (including friends and family) are affected by the progressive deterioration in cognition, function and behaviour of a person with Alzheimer's disease. Behavioural symptoms can have a particular impact on carers, and are often the reason cited for a person with Alzheimer's disease going into full-time residential care.

severity of Alzheimer's disease

• mild Alzheimer's disease: MMSE 21–26• moderate Alzheimer's disease: MMSE 10–20• moderately severe Alzheimer's disease: MMSE

10–14• severe Alzheimer's disease: MMSE less than

10.

Snoezelen Therapy

• Snoezelen (“snoozelen”) is a multisensory stimulation approach used to provide opportunities for multi-sensory experiences in the cognitively impaired.

• Snoezelen therapy can be used as both a stimulating and calming technique.

• Textures, smells, unusual lighting, contrasts, nature sounds are all examples of snoezelen stimulation.

• An entire room dedicated to Snoezelen therapy may be hard to come by in most settings, but a box filled with items that provide tactile, visual, or hearing stimulation can be a cost effective investment in multi-sensory therapy
