Early Signs of Dementia 
Insight Memory Care Choices
Early Signs of Dementia 
 Dedicated to helping families find senior care communities for their loved 
ones with dementia, Insight Memory Care Choices understands how 
difficult making an important decision can be during a time of stress. Under 
the leadership of Sandra Wallace, a memory loss specialist, Insight Memory 
Care Choices guides families through the process of choosing the best 
care available for their loved ones.
Early Signs of Dementia 
 Dementia is more than just the loss of memory, and many early signs of 
dementia are subtle , making it easy to overlook them. Not recognizing 
sarcasm is one possible sign of Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal 
dementia. Even for individuals who do not appreciate sarcastic senses of 
humor, most individuals recognize when sarcasm is being used because of 
its prevalence in society. Frequent falling has also been associated with 
early Alzheimer’s and can be potentially dangerous if ignored. Many 
individuals who fall regularly have a disorder known as progressive 
supranuclear palsy, which makes it difficult for them to catch themselves 
when falling.
Early Signs of Dementia 
 Subtle short-term memory changes, such as forgetting what was for 
breakfast or where something was last set down , may also signal early 
dementia. Although many individuals experience this kind of forgetting 
from time to time, increases in short-term memory lapses may signal that 
something is amiss. Similarly, struggling with finding the right words for 
communication is another sign. As dementia progresses, conversations 
typically become more brief and more difficult.
