Early Symptoms of Late-Onset Alzheimer's

Atlanta, Georgia-resident Eugene E. Houchins III has led the American Life Fund Corporation since 2013. In this role, Eugene ‘Gene’ Houchins III helps policyholders cash out their life insurance to pay for out-of-pocket costs for long-term care needs associated with severely debilitating illnesses such as Alzheimer’s.

People who ultimately develop late-onset Alzheimer’s may exhibit symptoms as early as their 60s. Some of the most common warning signs of neurodegeneration include:

Communication Challenges - Early brain degeneration may make writing and speaking unusually laborious. Affected individuals may have difficulty remembering everyday words or phrases in their native language or ask the same questions over and over again. 

Memory Loss - While some loss of mental acuity is a natural part of aging, frequently forgetting the date or not remembering attending recent events can indicate more serious issues. There also may be problems with misplacing commonly used items, such as toothbrushes or cellphones. 

Personality Changes - Since completing daily tasks can become increasingly difficult, many people begin withdrawing from their friends and families. They may hesitate to engage in social activities due to an inability to figure out directions or follow a conversation.
