Understanding the early signs of dementia can be crucial for effective care and planning. In this enlightening session held at the Ridgefield Library, Dr. Alison McElhone, Geriatrician, will explore the various types of dementia, their prevalence and the underlying brain pathology that contributes to cognitive decline. She will discuss key risk factors, including genetic influences, to help you identify early warning signs and explain why primary care may not be the most suitable setting for a comprehensive evaluation. Whether you’re a caregiver or concerned about your own cognitive health, this session will equip you with vital knowledge to navigate the complexities of dementia care.
