Knowing the early signs of Alzheimer’s helps get the right care sooner. At Heartsworth Center Nursing & Rehabilitation, we’re committed to helping families understand the initial symptoms, so they can act when it matters most.

Memory Loss That Disrupts Daily Life
Forgetting recently learned information or important dates is one of the most common early signs of Alzheimer’s. If your loved one frequently asks for the same information or relies heavily on memory aids, it could be time to consult a professional.

Difficulty with Problem-Solving
You might notice your loved one struggling with tasks they used to handle easily, such as managing bills or following a familiar recipe. This decline in problem-solving abilities is another red flag.

Confusion with Time or Place
Losing track of dates, seasons, or even where they are, can be unsettling signs of Alzheimer’s. If your loved one becomes disoriented in familiar places, it’s important to seek guidance.

Trouble Understanding Visual Images
Difficulty reading, judging distances, or distinguishing colors can also be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s. These visual issues can make everyday activities, like driving, more challenging.

Withdrawal from Social Activities
Your loved one might begin to withdraw from hobbies, social gatherings, or work projects they once enjoyed. This could be due to the changes they’re experiencing, making them feel unsure of themselves.

Support
Family members may wish to join support groups to garner information and support with others who are going through similar situations.

Understanding these early signs is the first step toward providing the right care. At Heartsworth Center Nursing & Rehabilitation, we’re here to help you navigate this journey with compassion and expertise.
