People with Alzheimer's disease often have problems managing their money. In fact, money problems may be one of the first noticeable signs of the disease.

Look for signs of money problems like:

  • Trouble counting change, balancing a checkbook or understanding a bank statement
  • Unpaid and unopened bills
  • Lots of new purchases on a credit card bill
  • Money missing from the person's bank account

Check in on the person's finances over time. Early on, a person with Alzheimer's may be able to perform basic financial tasks. But, problems will likely appear as the disease progresses.
