Some changes happen so subtly that families barely notice them at first. Then one day, looking back, it suddenly becomes clear how much has shifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The condition is commonly divided into three stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Early-stage Alzheimer\u2019s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Middle-stage Alzheimer\u2019s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late-stage Alzheimer\u2019s<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each stage brings its own challenges, but also opportunities to provide comfort, support, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Early-Stage_Alzheimers_The_Subtle_Beginning\"><\/span><strong>Early-Stage Alzheimer\u2019s: The Subtle Beginning<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What families often notice first<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early-stage Alzheimer\u2019s can look a lot like normal forgetfulness.
