Emotional indifference, not taking a shower or medication, not eating or drinking, not waking up during the day, not sleeping at night, and always feeling stolen or deceived... When an elderly person experiences cognitive impairment, it is followed by an irreversible decline in their ability to take care of themselves, with various "unimaginable" manifestations that make it difficult for their family to cope. But we only see the surface, and in fact, the behavior of every elderly person with cognitive impairment reflects a certain need. At the (Guangzhou) EldExpo, a professional organization dedicated to providing long-term care for Alzheimer's elderly brought cutting-edge exploration in this area.
