Alzheimer’s & Dementia vs. Normal Aging: How to Tell the Difference
It’s normal for memory to change slightly as we age, like occasionally forgetting names or appointments. However, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia involve more pronounced changes that interfere with daily life.
Signs that may indicate Alzheimer’s or dementia include:
Frequent memory loss that disrupts daily activities
Difficulty completing familiar tasks
Confusion with time or place
Trouble understanding visual images or spatial relationships
Changes in personality or mood
Recognizing these signs early is important. Comfort Keepers caregivers are trained to support seniors with memory challenges and help maintain quality of life at home.
