​Many families only discover the signs of dementia after it’s too late

​Dementia often begins with small, easy‑to‑miss changes. There are early warning signs, but families frequently overlook them because they don’t know what to look for.

​Here's what makes it worse:

​There is a window between being “perfectly fine” and “too late” — a period when your loved one can still make decisions and put plans in place to protect their wishes. Unfortunately, many families only learn this after that window has closed, leaving legal decisions unmade and assets unprotected.
