Your parent struggles with keeping track of time
You notice he/she is sleeping more often than usual, perhaps for most of the day
They start losing weight or are not eating a balanced diet
They seem to lose interest in things they used to enjoy doing
They seem moody or you notice changes in their mood
They appear to be confused or disoriented all of the sudden, or forgetful
You notice your parent seems to have trouble navigating around their home, or loses their balance easily
