Memory loss is the most common sign or symptom of Alzheimer’s disease. Forgetfulness may be primarily subtle, but the loss of memory progressively worsens over time until it interferes with aspects of daily life. Even in familiar home settings, a person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease may get lost or disorganized. Routine tasks can become challenging. Moreover, it may become difficult to recognize people and the names of objects. People affected increasingly require help with personal care.
