Alzheimer’s and Dementia are not the same thing!

Did you know; Alzheimer’s and Dementia are not the same thing?

Here’s some information you may find helpful if you are taking care of a loved one, friend, or person who is experiencing memory issues.

In my field, understanding someone’s competency is a large discussion when we embark on getting Estate documents and Power of Attorney documents in order.

My advice, the sooner you get important legal documents done, the better! That way, competency isn’t an issue we have to spend much time on.

Happy to help if your are in RI.

Memory Loss? Dementia? Alzheimers? SAGE TEST

I regularly work with clients who are helping their elderly parents, family members, or loved ones.

I often hear concerns about memory loss.....they wonder if their loved one is showing signs of dementia or Alzheimers.... or...... are the memory issues “just signs of getting older”.

I wanted to share this at home test with you all. It might be helpful to some of you.

As the article indicates; discuss the test results with your loved one’s doctor and try hard not to “self diagnose”. There’s additional testing a medical professional can do if there does seem to be an indication of one of these diseases, and early intervention is key.
