Is it Alzheimer’s or Normal Signs of Aging?

NOTE:  Discuss concerns with your healthcare provider if you recognize some of these symptoms.  Only a medical professional can make the determination as to the meaning of particular behaviors or changing abilities.  The signs or symptoms listed below are not meant to be a way to diagnose yourself or someone you know.  Any of the individual items below could have many explanations or causes.  Listing these symptoms here is a way of allowing a person to take a larger view of many different behaviors that, when combined, may paint a more complete picture of a person’s mental status.  Always seek the guidance of a medical professional to assess the meaning of any individual issues.

Alzheimer’s disease, like all dementias, is a progressive disease.  Consider contacting a Housing & Care Advisor to consider your options for the near future and for later on.  Call CHOICE at 800-361-0138.
