Description

When you haven’t seen a loved one in a while, holiday visits can bring unexpected questions. On today's episode, Nicole McGurin, Programs and Services Director for the Alzheimer's Association MA/NH Chapter, helps us understand the signs of Alzheimer’s and other dementias that may become more noticeable during the holidays. We walk through what’s normal aging, what may be a red flag, and what steps families can take if they’re concerned—including how to talk with a loved one and where to turn for support.
