“How to Recognize Early Signs of Memory Loss”
Dawn Moore (of Lee Memorial Choices) and Chris Austin (with Discovery Village) will discuss how memory loss can impact day-to-day functioning, and resources for how to help someone who demonstrates signs of memory loss. More specifically, they will address how we as estate planners can:
- recognize when our clients are slipping
- know when we must say something
- speak to family members when the client doesn’t see/agree that s/he needs help.
