Identifying the Early Signs And Symptoms of Alzheimer
As a result of this research, organizations are aiming to increase the number of people who are aware of their diagnosis. Early detection not only allows for the possibility of participating in clinical trials, but it also provides patients the chance to plan for what’s to come and plan the appropriate level of care.
Below are some of the common early symptoms and signs of Alzheimer’s that senior clients and family caregivers can be on the lookout for:
• Forgetting recently learned information, important dates/events, or repeatedly asking for the same information
• Expressing worry or concern about memory capabilities
• Trouble managing finances or solving problems
• Reluctance to plan for future events, especially for those who typically volunteer their time to plan
• Becoming lost while driving, especially on familiar roads
• Disengaging from work, favorite pastimes/hobbies, or social events
• Increased change in mood and personality
• Poor judgment or decision making
• Difficulty following or joining a conversation, struggling with vocabulary, and using the wrong words for everyday things
• Inability to judge distance/space and understand visual images
• Easily – and frequently – losing track of time
If family or family caregivers notice any of these signs, they should immediately schedule a physician appointment. Myles McNamara is the owner of Comfort Keepers In-Home Care and can be reached at 661-287-4200.
