Symptoms Of Alzheimer's

Alzheimer’s is a form of dementia that affects mental functioning in those who suffer from it. This can severely impair the ability to function normally and perform daily tasks. If you notice any of these symptoms in your loved one, it may be time to get started with care:

• Memory loss: Forgetting recent information, significant dates and events, names, and appointments.
• Struggling with daily tasks: Inability to stick to a plan, keep track of bills, follow instructions, difficulty concentrating, and taking longer to do things.
• Confusion: Losing track of time, dates, and seasons of the year.
• Trouble with spatial recognition: Difficulty reading, judging distance, and recognizing colors.
• Issues with words: Difficulty joining conversations, repeating themselves, and trouble with word choice.
• Misplacing things: Losing things and struggling to retrace steps to find them.
• Social withdrawal: Disinterest in hobbies, sports, and social activities.
• Mood changes: Irritability when routine is disrupted and getting upset at home, with family and friends, or when out of their comfort zone.
