“Getting lost, even if you are in a familiar location, could be one of the first signs of Alzheimer’s, scientists have discovered. A new study from Edinburgh University called the Prevent project, which involves other UK research centres, aims to discover the first symptoms of the disease in people when they are still young. . . . Scientists claim . . . that medication is more potent if used on patients during the earlier stages of the disease, and that a healthy lifestyle can also prevent its potential development.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):
I hope losing the car in big parking lot is not one of these symptoms.
