As January winds down, the local Alzheimer Society is encouraging people to learn more about dementia.
Noting January is Alzheimer Awareness Month, First Link Coordinator Chris Rask acknowledges most people think of memory loss as the primary symptom of dementia, but memory loss doesn't mean you have dementia.
Rask says signs of dementia include changes in personality.
Rask highlights other signs of dementia.
Anyone wanting more information about dementia - or seeking support - is encouraged to call the local Alzheimer Society office at 705-856-0000.
