Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things, they don't remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses. About 40% of people aged 65 or older have an age associated memory impairment. The chart below provides a guide to help you determine if you are suffering with age related memory loss or dementia related memory loss. Regardless of the underlying issue, our program can still provide many benefits to you.
