Short-term memory is suffering and disrupts some aspects of their day. They are starting to become disoriented geographically and may have trouble with directions and getting from one place to another. They may start to have trouble functioning independently at events and activities outside the home. At home, chores may start to get neglected, and someone may need to remind them when it is time to take care of personal hygiene. #LOVEYOUDADDY #DEMENTIASUCKS #ALZHEIMERSUCKS #LOVEYOURPARENTSALWAYS #IMHEREFORUALWAYS
