June is National Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. This month CarePlus Home Health took part in programming that helped us raise awareness and support for Alzheimer’s Disease.

-
Problems with language, visualizing and spatial relationships

Difficulty performing familiar tasks
-
Disorientation with time and place
-
Poor judgment
-
Attention issues
-
Changes in mood, behavior or personality
