Do You Know the Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s?

We all should. Lifesprk is a proud member of the Alzheimer’s Early Detection Alliance (AEDA) and we are working with colleagues across the state and country to ensure more people know the warning signs and to actively watch for them. 

It’s easy to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease and early detection, just check out all the details and tools available for us at the Know the 10 Warning Signs Program.

Here are just a few:

  • Challenges in planning or solving problems
  • Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure
  • Changes in mood or personality

We also encourage you to contact your local Chapter to learn more about additional resources in the communities where you live and work. The Alzheimer’s Association has over 70 Chapters nationwide.  To find your local Chapter visit www.alz.org/findus or call 1-800-272-3900.

With early detection, people have more time to gain maximum benefit from available treatments. They have time to plan and time to learn about and arrange help for themselves and their families.

As part of AEDA, help us identify more people with Alzheimer’s early!
