early detection and support

In these consultation hours, interested parties have the opportunity to find out more about the various support offers in Bottrop. In addition, early detection tests can be carried out to identify age -related forgetfulness. Prior registration is required so that the consultations can be carried out efficiently and taking into account the hygiene regulations. This also applies to a similar event that took place on October 31, 2023. Regular memory consultation hours that offer a similar service are held in the DRK "Haus Rottmannsmühle".

The current focus on dementia advice is particularly relevant because it is often difficult to differentiate between normal forgetfulness and dementia. Society confronts many people with the challenge of recognizing the symptoms that go beyond occasional forgetfulness. There are many factors that influence memory, including mental and intellectual stress as well as age.

typical features of dementia

The demarcation between normal forgetfulness and dementia is particularly complex. People with dementia often show a variety of typical symptoms, including repeated spots of the same questions, laying objects without memory of their last location or difficulties to cope with basic everyday activities. These symptoms can significantly impair everyday life and should be taken seriously.

dementia patients often also have difficulty assessing situations. For example, you can forget important responsibilities, such as supervision of children. In addition, dementia patients are often no longer able to formulate abstract thoughts, which restricts their communication skills and can lead to further misunderstandings. The memory also decreases seriously, so that recently happening quickly disappears from memory.

Advertising for these consultation hours is crucial to find support in good time and, if necessary, to initiate therapeutic measures. The advisory services in Bottrop are therefore an important step towards higher awareness of dementia and the associated challenges.
