Rehabilitation
of elderly people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
Feuerstein
Institute’s cognitive rehabilitation department, among other
things, is engaged with the rehabilitation of elderly patients
suffering from mild cognitive impairment, affecting memory, language,
and other cognitive skills.
Nothing
is irreversible
Today,
as people live longer than ever before, and the elderly population
has the fastest growth rates in the world, it is our goal to help
each and every person who needs it, to maintain a sound mind.
Despite the rise in life expectancy, diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s still require treatment. This type of diseases causes brain degeneration, affecting functioning, memory loss, and behavioral changes. While in the past, these diseases were considered irreversible, today we already know that with the right cognitive intervention, we can slow down and even prevent impairment.
” People suffering from MCI, as opposed to dementia or Alzheimer’s, maintain their functioning levels and can continue maintaining an independent daily life. However, their cognitive impairments disrupt their normal routines and create great frustration, often leading to dementia. “
How
it this diagnosed?
MCI
diagnoses can only be given by qualified physicians. However, there
are a number of symptoms that might indicate cognitive impairment,
and help you better understand the situation:
-
Frequent
loss of items (more than normal) -
Frequent
forgetfulness of conversations, scheduled meetings, or important
events -
Difficulty
to remember the names of new acquaintances -
Difficulty
in following conversations -
Repetition
of the same questions or comments -
Mild
confusion
What
is the purpose of this treatment?
At
Feuerstein Institute’s cognitive rehabilitation department, we
first and foremost wish to improve the quality of life for patients
suffering from MCI. Cognitive impairment can be felt through memory,
attention, and concentration difficulties, the ability to recall
words, stories, etc. Therefore, by focusing on improving memory
capacity and providing new skills and strategies, we might ease their
difficulties in conducting their daily lives.
