Best Answer

A person with Alzheimer's may experience a breakdown in communication, since the disease alters an elderly person's cognitive ability. When a senior with Alzheimer's experiences physical pain, he may express that with aggressive or irritability. Insomnia, urinary tract infections, loud noises, household clutter, and unfamiliar surroundings contribute to a person's aggression. To reduce irritation, anger and aggressive behavior in an individual with Alzheimer's and Dementia, it is recommended to maintain order in the home and consistency with home care. If an elderly person has a different caregiver every week, for example, the constant transition would agitate the individual.
