The Alzheimer’s Association® has created an education program that explores the most common warning signs of Alzheimer’s to help individuals stay informed about what is normal aging and what is not. The free one-hour 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s program:

.Describes typical age-related memory, thinking or behavioral changes

.Discusses tips for approaching someone about memory concerns

.Explains the importance of early detection and benefits of diagnosis

.Identifies possible tests/assessments for the diagnostic process

“This program is our most important community program” says Pam Myers, Program Director of the Chapter. “When you or your loved ones begin to notice changes in these areas, it is important to know what might be a warning sign of Alzheimer’s and how to access help/resources to ensure an accurate diagnosis.”
