You Suddenly Have Difficulty Managing Finances

If you are noticing that you, or someone you know, is suddenly having trouble managing their finances (ie: paying for a purchase, counting change, calculating a tip, understanding a bank statement, paying bills, etc.) they may be having more than just a senior’s moment. Over time, people with Alzheimer’s disease lose their capacity to perform the financial tasks associated with daily living. Increasing trouble managing finances can be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease and often, it goes unaddressed until it’s too late.

Difficulty completing other daily tasks, like following a recipe or driving to a routine location, is also another early warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease.
