The holidays provide an opportunity to observe these signs, particularly when interacting with loved ones in person rather than through phone or video calls. “The most important thing that you could do is reassure them,” Gajadhar told WRTV. “Be loving, positive, nonjudgmental. Don't diagnose. That's not our job. Say, 'Hey, why don't we go to the doctor and sort of understand what's going on.'”Early detection can lead to better treatment options, informed decision-making and improved quality of life for those affected. Recognizing these signs early can make all the difference in ensuring appropriate care and support for aging family members.Read the full article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/they-are-not-the-person-you-knew-recognizing-signs-of-cognitive-decline?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=wrtv-recognizing-cognitive-decline-in-loved-ones-during-holiday-gatherings-2728505" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.&nbsp;For more information on franchising with Comfort Keepers, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/comfort-keepers">https://1851franchise.com/comfort-keepers</a>.
