2. Losing Items

Anyone can misplace a wallet or keys. However, a person living with Alzheimer’s will often put things in an inappropriate location. For instance, they may put keys in the bathroom sink or a wristwatch in the bread container.

Additionally, they will start to have difficulties remembering what they were doing or where they were before losing the item. In most cases, they need help from family or friends to find the item. Eventually, this experience of losing things all the time can cause them to become suspicious, and they may even accuse others of stealing from them. Such incidents tend to become more frequent with time.
