Understanding the 10 Key Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease

3. Difficulty Completing Tasks

When you have Alzheimer's, it is increasingly difficult to carry out everyday tasks. Things like remembering where you have your items stored at home become difficult. Other aspects of everyday life, such as going to the bank or the supermarket, may also become more difficult. Finding familiar locations, managing a budget or remembering certain rules becomes more difficult, affecting the quality of life of patients. Other examples of difficulties with everyday tasks include forgetting how to use the microwave or needing help to turn on the television. It may be useful to count on the assistance of a close family member or a friend that can be contacted for help.
