Summary Introduction

Introduction

Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease that has an impact on various functions, such as thinking, reasoning, memory, and the ability to carry out everyday tasks. The cause of this disease is said to be biological or hereditary. Since there is no cure for Alzheimer's, as the disease progresses, it makes the person more vulnerable to death. However, there are certain ways in which it can be ensured that the remaining life of the person suffering from this disease can be peaceful and devoid of stress.
