Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Fort Mill, Lake Wylie, and Indian Land, as well as York,
Clover, and Hickory Grove, know that Alzheimer's disease is a condition that
cannot be cured; however, they also understand that early detection is key to
helping your elderly loved one access the healthcare they need to slow the
progression of the condition. Early detection entails learning to recognize the
warning signs of Alzheimer's disease and identify them should your senior
develop them. Here are the ten warning signs associated with this condition,
per the Alzheimer's Association.[1]
- Disruptive memory loss: The most common symptom of Alzheimer's disease, memory loss that impacts daily life should be investigated.
- Difficulty planning and problem solving: Problem solving is frequently impacted by Alzheimer's disease.
- Challenges performing familiar tasks: Activities like driving to a frequently visited store, managing money, or playing a game can become difficult.
- Disorientation regarding the time or place: The inability to keep up with the passage of time and the tendency to believe it is a different year are common among individuals who have Alzheimer's disease.
- Misunderstanding of spatial relationships and images: Vision impairment can indicate Alzheimer's disease in some individuals, as they may find it hard to read, judge distance, or differentiate colors.
- Difficulty with written or verbal communication: Stopping in the middle of a conversation, using the wrong words, and repeating certain phrases may occur in an elderly individual who has Alzheimer's disease.
- Inability to retrace steps and the increased misplacement of items: Not remembering where they placed something, or where they would normally place a certain item, can cause seniors to have difficulty pinpointing the location of certain items or retracing their steps to try to discover where they had them last.
- Impaired judgment: Because Alzheimer's disease can impact the area of the brain that makes decisions poor judgment is something that seniors may experience as this condition develops.
- Isolation from social and other activities: Alzheimer's disease may cause seniors to withdraw from events and activities that they once enjoyed.
- Alterations in mood, behavior, and personality: Confusion, anxiety, and disorientation caused by Alzheimer's disease can result in changes to an individual's personality.
