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.

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.
