Memory Changes in Seniors: What’s Normal and What’s Not
Forgetting names or appointments now and then is typical with age. Alzheimer’s and dementia, however, bring more severe changes in memory, thinking, and behavior.
Red flags may include:
Frequent forgetfulness impacting daily activities
Difficulty completing familiar routines
Confusion about time or place
Trouble understanding spatial relationships or visual cues
Mood swings or personality shifts
Early detection is key. Comfort Keepers caregivers offer support and companionship for seniors navigating memory challenges.
