Every few days someone asks what Stage their loved one is at.
Here are two charts:
(1) Reisberg Scale, and
(2) FAST Scale with Activities of Daily Living. <-- See the first comment
@A myALZteam Member. It is a bit confusing. You stage them where they are most of the time. I have found that the Alzheimer’s monster gives you a quick preview of what is to come. They may fit all the things of stage 4 and something from 5 or 6. They would still be stage 4. Right now my husband is firmly in stage 6 but I see things from stage 7 slipping in now and then, but he does not yet fit everything of stage 7 yet. I hope that makes some sense.
Note: Posted today for @A myALZteam Member, who asked what stage her husband is in.
Sending support Nan-Can. It is often a real puzzle to know how are LO will be on a given day. Frustrating and exhausting for us and confusing and overwhelming for them. I just try to remember those good points in any day to balance out the tough ones. Take care.
He is in Stage 4 as I am doing more and more things that use to be easy for him. He takes anti-depressants which help some. May need to see if another may be better. Thanks for the information. You and Otto have a mission to help!
