Talk About Dementia

As of today, Alzheimer’s - a form of dementia, affects more than 90,000 people aged 65 and older in Colorado. And that number is likely much higher since Alzheimer’s is typically underdiagnosed.

Dementia overall - including Alzheimer’s, not only impacts the individual living with it, but loved ones and friends as well. In fact, it’s those same family and friends who are often the first to notice the first signs of dementia.

They may notice changes in behavior and memory lapses, among others. This is why it’s vital if you or a loved one is experiencing these symptoms to talk about dementia, along with learning more about diagnosis and treatment options.
