They struggle to remember or have confusion about times, daily events/experiences, and people (both familiar and unfamiliar).
They lack awareness in terms of time and space, misplace items around the house (dinner plate), or get lost in a familiar place.
You’ve noticed they have difficultly communicating their needs, starting or following conversations, or show signs of changes in personality and behavior (e.g., agitation, aggression).
They have difficulty managing essential, daily tasks like dressing, bathing (poor hygiene), or do not prepare meals or forget/avoid eating (weight loss).
