disease, symptoms may include memory loss in those affected, changes in the way they communicate and behave, as well as in their mood and concentration. At this early stage of the disease, these people are still independent; they can talk about their experience with others and understand the changes that are taking place. When someone is diagnosed in the early stages, it can be an opportunity for them to be involved in decisions about the care and life path they want for themselves throughout the gradual progression of the disease.<\/p><p><strong>The Moderate Stage<\/strong><\/p><p>In the moderate stage of the disease, symptoms become more pronounced. It is becoming more difficult to carry out activities of daily living. Some people remain aware of their condition. At this stage, family caregivers can help people living with the disease to carry out the tasks they are still capable of performing.<\/p><p><strong>The Advanced Stage<\/strong><\/p><p>In the advanced stage of the disease, people living with a neurocognitive disorder diagnosis will require greater support to take care of themselves and will rely more on non-verbal communication to interact with family and healthcare providers. At this stage of the disease, people living with a neurocognitive disorder often require round-the-clock care and support to ensure optimal quality of life.<\/p><p><strong>End of Life<\/strong><\/p><p>At the end-of-life stage, care is needed 24 hours a day, and maintaining the person\u2019s comfort is paramount.<\/p><p>As symptoms of the disease become increasingly present, care is provided to meet their physical, emotional and spiritual needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-9185\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"6\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-9185\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><h4 class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> How can I get a cognitive test for a family member? <\/h4><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"33\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 33 32\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M27.2076 12.7076L17.2076 22.7076C17.1147 22.8006 17.0044 22.8744 16.883 22.9247C16.7616 22.975 16.6315 23.0009 16.5001 23.0009C16.3687 23.0009 16.2385 22.975 16.1171 22.9247C15.9957 22.8744 15.8854 22.8006 15.7926 22.7076L5.79257 12.7076C5.60493 12.52 5.49951 12.2655 5.49951 12.0001C5.49951 11.7348 5.60493 11.4803 5.79257 11.2926C5.98021 11.105 6.2347 10.9996 6.50007 10.9996C6.76543 10.9996 7.01993 11.105 7.20757 11.2926L16.5001 20.5864L25.7926 11.2926C25.8855 11.1997 25.9958 11.126 26.1172 11.0757C26.2386 11.0255 26.3687 10.9996 26.5001 10.9996C26.6315 10.9996 26.7616 11.0255 26.883 11.0757C27.0044 11.126 27.1147 11.1997 27.2076 11.2926C27.3005 11.3855 27.3742 11.4958 27.4245 11.6172C27.4747 11.7386 27.5006 11.8687 27.5006 12.0001C27.5006 12.1315 27.4747 12.2616 27.4245 12.383C27.3742 12.5044 27.3005 12.6147 27.2076 12.7076Z\" fill=\"#00308C\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"33\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 33 32\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M27.2076 12.7076L17.2076 22.7076C17.1147 22.8006 17.0044 22.8744 16.883 22.9247C16.7616 22.975 16.6315 23.0009 16.5001 23.0009C16.3687 23.0009 16.2385 22.975 16.1171 22.9247C15.9957 22.8744 15.8854 22.8006 15.7926 22.7076L5.79257 12.7076C5.60493 12.52 5.49951 12.2655 5.49951 12.0001C5.49951 11.7348 5.60493 11.4803 5.79257 11.2926C5.98021 11.105 6.2347 10.9996 6.50007 10.9996C6.76543 10.9996 7.01993 11.105 7.20757 11.2926L16.5001 20.5864L25.7926 11.2926C25.8855 11.1997 25.9958 11.126 26.1172 11.0757C26.2386 11.0255 26.3687 10.9996 26.5001 10.9996C26.6315 10.9996 26.7616 11.0255 26.883 11.0757C27.0044 11.126 27.1147 11.1997 27.2076 11.2926C27.3005 11.3855 27.3742 11.4958 27.4245 11.6172C27.4747 11.7386 27.5006 11.8687 27.5006 12.0001C27.5006 12.1315 27.4747 12.2616 27.4245 12.383C27.3742 12.5044 27.3005 12.6147 27.2076 12.7076Z\" fill=\"#00308C\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-9185\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5919f1 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d5919f1\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39eb83c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"39eb83c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To obtain a cognitive examination, you must first consult a doctor.
