Learn the 10 Early Warning Signs of Alzheimer's Disease

Is it normal, age related memory loss and nothing to worry about, or could it be the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease?  With 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 every day, this is a question that is being asked much more frequently. 

Early detection of Alzheimer’s can make a huge difference in the quality of life not only for the person suffering from the disease, but for their care partners as well.

On Thursday, April 19th, a free program entitled “Know the 10 Signs: Early Detection Matters” will be held from 10:00 to 11:00 AM at Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest. 

The program will be presented by the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Illinois Chapter, and will teach participants the difference between just “getting older” and the early stages of Alzheimer’s.

Knowing the 10 Signs helps to empower people to combat the devastating financial and emotional toll that accompanies Alzheimer’s disease.

There is no charge to attend this program and those interested can register by calling the Alzheimer’s Association®, Greater Illinois Chapter at 815.744.0804.
