    DUNWOODY, GA, September 17, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The senior living in Atlanta firm, Oaks Senior Living, wants to remind people of the early warning signs of Alzheimer's. This mental condition affects millions of elderly people, and can have debilitating effects in its advanced stages. Thus, the memory care for Atlanta provider notes the importance of early detection. The sooner a diagnosis is made, the better able doctors and the resident's family can prepare. Knowing what signals to look out for is very important, as Alzheimer's can happen to anyone regardless of health history.

According to Linda Smith, Vice President of Market Development for the dementia care for Atlanta company, "There are a few key symptoms that may indicate a person has or is in the process of developing the condition. The first is gradual memory loss and/or the ability for the individual to use their planning and problem solving skills. Having troubles keeping up with a conversation (trailing off or having difficulties with vocabulary) is also a major warning sign. If you think you or a loved one may have a problem, it is best to consult a doctor as soon as possible." The memory care in Atlanta specialists, Oaks Senior Living, also note poor judgment on a consistent basis, such as not tending to one's hygiene or making bad financial decisions on a repeated basis are also common warning signs.
