Summary
People from all walks of life can be affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. If you’re concerned about yourself or a loved one because you’ve noticed the warning signs of dementia, reach out for help.
It may help to take an at-home dementia screening test called the SAGE to see whether the changes could be a normal part of aging or a concern you should bring to your healthcare provider.
