#3 If you’re not sure whether your loved one is having cognitive problems, try one or two of these simple tests: ask the person to draw a clock showing the time as ten minutes after eleven o’clock, and ask him to name as many animals as he can in one minute.
#4 Dementia is not just forgetting, it’s a loss of short-term memory, memory problems that interfere with the tasks of daily life, and altered social behavior.
