Alzheimer’s Awareness: Recognizing the Signs & Stages

Understanding Alzheimer’s and Its Early Signs

Recognizing the early signs of Alzheimer’s can be difficult, especially when the changes happen gradually or resemble normal aging. But noticing these signs early is important. It gives families more time to plan, access helpful resources, and ensure their loved ones receive the right support sooner.

Here are a few early signs of dementia to watch for:

• Memory loss that affects everyday routines
• Trouble completing familiar tasks or solving problems
• Confusion about time, places, or events
• Shifts in mood, behavior, or personality
• Pulling away from conversations or favorite pastimes

Being aware of these early changes can help you take the next step with more clarity and support. Visit our memory care page to learn how we help families recognize these signs and respond with personalized care.

The Stages of Alzheimer’s: What to Expect

Understanding the three stages of Alzheimer’s allows for better preparation and peace of mind:

Early Stage (Mild):

People may still live independently but might struggle with memory lapses, such as forgetting names or appointments.

Middle Stage (Moderate):

This stage often brings confusion, mood changes and the need for help with daily routines.

Late Stage (Severe):

Individuals may lose awareness of their surroundings and require full-time support and care.

If you’re concerned about the progression of memory loss, The Alzheimer’s Association is a great place to learn more and find help and support.
