Understanding Memory Changes: Normal Aging vs. Dementia
Some forgetfulness is normal as we age, like misplacing items or forgetting an occasional name. But Alzheimer’s and other dementias involve memory issues that impact daily life and independence.
Warning signs may include:
Frequent forgetfulness that interrupts routines
Trouble managing familiar tasks
Losing track of time or place
Difficulty recognizing common objects or interpreting spatial cues
Noticeable shifts in personality or mood
Early recognition allows for proper support. Comfort Keepers caregivers help seniors navigate memory challenges while maintaining a safe, supportive home environment.
