Dear Savvy Senior, My mother, who’s 72, has become very forgetful lately and is worried she may have Alzheimer’s. Is her forgetfulness really something we should worry about? What should we do? Worried Daughter Dear Worried, Many seniors worry about memory lapses as they get older, fearing it may be the first signs of Alzheimer’s disease or some other type of dementia. To get some insight on the seriousness of your mom’s problem, here are some key warning signs to be vigilant of and some resources you can turn to for help. Warning signs: As we grow older, some memory difficulties – such as trouble remembering names of people or places or forgetting where you put your glasses – are associated
with normal aging. But the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are much more than simple memory lapses. Knowing the early warning signs is a good first step in recognizing the difference between typical age-related memory loss and a more serious problem. To help you evaluate your mom’s condition, here’s a checklist of some common early symptoms to watch for: Asking the same questions repeatedly; getting lost in familiar areas; failing to recognize familiar people; having difficulty following directions; misplacing items in inappropriate places, such as putting one’s keys in the microwave; having difficulty completing familiar tasks like cooking a meal or paying a bill; or having trouble remembering common words when speaking or mixing up words. For more information, the Alzheimer’s Association provides a list of 10 warning signs

that you can access at 10signs.org or call (800) 272-3900 and request a free copy of their booklet “Basics of Alzheimer’s Disease: What it is and what you can do.” Another good screening tool is the selfadministered cognitive screening (SAGE) test that was developed at The Ohio State University Medical Center. This test helps identify mild cognitive impairment and early dementia, and can be taken at home in about 10 to 15 minutes. You can download the SAGE test along with scoring instructions at sagetest.osu.edu. Get help: After going through the warning signs and/or testing of your mom, if you’re still concerned, get her in to see her doctor for a thorough medical examination. Her doctor may then refer her to a geriatrician or neurologist who specializes in diagnosing and treating memory loss or Alzheimer’s disease. Keep in mind that even if your mom is experiencing some memory problems, it doesn’t necessarily mean she has early stage Alzheimer’s. Many memory problems are brought on by other factors like stress, depression, thyroid disease, side effects of medications, sleep disorders, vitamin deficiencies, and other medical conditions. And by treating these conditions she can reduce or eliminate the problem.

The screening is given by doctors, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers or other healthcare professionals at more than 2,500 sites across the country. It’s also important to know that this screening is not a diagnosis. Instead its goal is to detect problems and refer individuals with these problems for further evaluation. To find a screening site in your area, visit nationalmemoryscreening.org or call (866) 232-8484. The AFA recommends checking for a screening location shortly before Nov. 13 because new sites are constantly being added. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK, 73070, or visit savvysenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of The Savvy Senior book.
