Transcript:

Detecting symptoms of Alzheimer's disease as early as possible can be critical to provide appropriate care and avoid potentially dangerous situations and family and friends can play a vital role in recognizing and calling attention to these changes in behavior, especially for older adults who live alone. While celebrating with loved ones this holiday season, Home Instead Senior Care encourages everyone to become more familiar with the symptoms of Alzheimer's, to be more aware so that critical warning signs are not overlooked. Although many are aware that Alzheimer's disease affects a person's memory, there are several other lesser- known indicators that commonly go unnoticed such as notable changes in mood or personality, difficulty completing familiar tasks, trouble pronouncing words or writing, and increased anxiety.
