Early cognitive decline can sometimes begin with subtle memory lapses or changes in daily habits. Because these shifts often appear gradually, they may be mistaken for simple forgetfulness.
At Comfort Keepers Lakewood, we encourage families to pay attention to patterns that may signal a loved one needs additional support.
Some early signs may include:
• Asking the same questions repeatedly or forgetting recent discussions
• Difficulty keeping track of bills, medications, or household tasks
• Confusion about dates, appointments, or routines
• Misplacing everyday items in unusual places
• Noticeable mood changes or withdrawing from social activities
Recognizing these early indicators can help families start conversations and explore ways to support a loved one’s safety and independence at home.
