Welcome to the community. Do you and your sister live in the same area/ same state? This will help us direct you to some local resources.

Use this checklist, which asks a series of questions related to memory, you will receive an email with a report and score: mybraintest.org/alzheimers-...

For local help in Gary: alz.org/indiana/in_my_commu... , and choose the resource area that includes Lake county.

The situation you describe is very common, and the local Alzheimer's org will have case managers that can help.
