4. Places and times
It’s pretty normal for someone to experience momentary confusion about what day of the week it is, or where it was that they bought a pair of shoes, but when someone begins to experience problems like that continually, it could be a warning sign. People who are developing Alzheimer’s will often struggle to remember what day of the week it is, or even become confused about where they are and how they got there. Memory loss can erase blocks of time, making it extremely confusing and distressing for many Alzheimer’s patients.
