Could It Be Alzheimers' Disease? Learn the 10 Warning Signs

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 Friday, May 4th, a free program entitled “Know the 10 Signs: Early Detection Matters” will be held from 2-3 PM at Heritage Woods of South Elgin, 700 N. McLean Blvd.  Since seating is limited, advance registration is required.
