Chapter
7: Decreased Judgement
 We all make 'judgements' - decisions, if you will
- many times every day. The decisions we
make about everything from clothing to passing on
the highway aren't always good ones, but it
doesn't mean we have Alzheimer's Disease.
Poor decisions can result from a number of
factors: stress, failure to investigate an issue
thoroughly, pressure from people or forces beyond
your control... Most healthy people
make more good judgements than bad ones. A
person with Alzheimer's, however, often has
more difficulty making the 'right choice'.
His or her ability... can be
seriously impaired by the disease.

Did
You Know?
As the days grow longer and the weather
milder your loved one may become more prone
to wandering. Keep a close eye out for
restlessness or agitation. Perhaps a short
walk or sitting outdoors for a time may help your
loved one enjoy this beautiful time of year
without the concern of alopement. Be sure
activities are always supervised for safety.
