Dementia Care in Oklahoma City: Early Signs of Dementia

Visiting Angels Oklahoma City helps seniors throughout Yukon, Reno, and the surrounding communities get the care and support they need when living with dementia. 

Signs to Watch Out For

Family members are often the first ones to notice changes in a loved one's behavior. If you suspect your family member might have dementia, speak with their physician as soon as possible. While there is no cure for dementia, the earlier you can begin to manage symptoms the better. As an experienced provider of dementia care, Visiting Angels Oklahoma City is familiar with the early warning signs. Some of these signs may include:
