November is Alzheimers Awareness Month. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, the disease currently affects approximately 5.3 million Americans, and this number is expected to triple by 2050. Home Helpers has partnered with the Alzheimer’s Early Detection Alliance to help raise awareness, educate the public, provide enhanced care and find a cure. Early Alzheimer’s detection helps ensure that those diagnosed are receiving proper care. Below are 10 warning signs that may indicate Alzheimer’s:

If your loved one is exhibiting any of the signs above, it’s important to consult their doctor. Dealing with Alzheimer’s can be emotionally challenging, but the more familiar you are with the signs and symptoms of the disease the better you will be able to cope and relieve stress.

We can be there to ensure your loved one is taking their medication, eating properly, and being supervised daily. For more information on Alzheimers, visit www.alz.org .
