The grieving of loved ones, loss of physical or mental abilities, rapid lifestyle changes and in-creased physical challenges can all lead to cognitive impairment and behavioral difficulties.
Minor symptoms are a normal part of the aging process, but persistent personality changes or unusual behavior may indicate that your loved one is in need of care.
Behavioral Changes to watch for:
- Severe depression

- Social isolation
- Preoccupation with death or dying
- Episodes of tearfulness, increased irritability or anger.
- Excessive worrying.
- Deterioration of daily living skills
- Auditory or visual hallucinations
- Psychotic, delusional or paranoid behavior.
