When Alzheimer’s Progresses: Prevention and Preparation in Hospice Care

When Alzheimer’s Progresses: Prevention and Preparation in Hospice Care

In this episode of the Expert Hospice Podcast, host Dr. Sendhil Krishnan — a cardiologist and co-founder of Expert Hospice — explores what current research tells us about lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. While there is no guaranteed way to prevent Alzheimer’s, studies suggest that lifestyle changes like eating a heart-healthy diet, getting enough sleep, staying mentally engaged, exercising, and protecting cardiovascular health can all reduce risk. Dr. Krishnan explains why these habits matter for both brain and heart health, and how they may help delay or reduce the onset of Alzheimer’s.

He also ties this important conversation into hospice care, reminding listeners that even with the best prevention strategies, Alzheimer’s can still progress. Too often, families wait until the very end to call hospice, missing out on the comfort, dignity, and caregiver support it provides during advanced stages of the disease. This episode highlights both the value of prevention and the peace that hospice brings when Alzheimer’s reaches its most challenging stages.
