Moderate Alzheimers This is the longest stage of Alzheimers. It can last many years -- it’s different from person to person. As your Alzheimers evolves, your memory will get worse. Youll have more trouble with language and thinking clearly. You may: 1.).Not always know family and friends 2.) Lose track of the day of the week or where you are 3.) Forget details in your life, like your address, phone number, or where you went to high school or college 4.) Have trouble putting clothes on in the right order or picking the right clothes, and later bathing and using the toilet 5.) Jumble words 6.) Have poor judgment about your health, finances, or safety Your personality may also change during this stage. You may: 1.) See or hear things that arent there 2.) Suspect people of lying, cheating, or stealing from you 3.) Be depressed or anxious 4.) Become angry or violent When your Alzheimers is moderate, youll probably need to live with family or in a residential care setting, or have a trained caregiver in your home. You may need help to get dressed, take your medicines safely, and manage your finances. It may be unsafe for you to use the kitchen and be alone. Your doctor may change your current medication and suggest drug or non-drug ways to deal with personality changes.
