MEMORY
Loss
IN AN OLDER ADULT?
"Mom isn't acting right; she seems confused."
"Dad is so forgetful. He keeps asking the same questions."
Difficulty remembering things is often just a normal part of
aging. However, a memory problem which gets progressively
worse can be a sign of something more serious. Alzheimer's
disease affects an estimated four million Americans, most of
them elderly. It is characterized by impaired memory, thinking
and behavior, and currently there is no cure.
Physicians at Oakwood Healthcare System are studying an
investigational medication that may help people suffering from
Alzheimer's disease. As part of this study a free evaluation and
research treatment program will be provided to qualified older
adults. Participants will receive comprehensive diagnostic
evaluations, expert medical care and study medication at no
cost.
