Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, irreversible brain disorder with no known cause or cure. It is presently thought to be genetic.
There are, however, things that increase the risk of getting it. Some are controllable, some are not.
Controllable Risk FactorsAlzheimers disease is caused by the neurons in the brain not functioning properly and the connections between them failing. The brain breaks down and shrinks. Symptoms include: memory loss, concentration loss, loss of coordination, loss of self awareness and in extreme cases, loss of speech.

There are several alzheimers care centers in Augusta. They offer complete services to care for alzheimers patients, with good reviews from family and friends.
You can check out the Alzheimers Association for information or talk with your Grandmothers doctor. Alzheimers Association would have a check list of questions that you can use to talk with her doctor.
