[quote=Anonymous]Our family member had a stroke 6 years ago, with occupational therapy they were able to return to "almost" normal. They need a lot of support to get them through each day - help with meals, bathing, bills etc. They don't live alone. During a recent family visit we noticed they are starting to show signs of confusion - time, day etc. We are not the primary support system for the relative so want to tread with caution but the person in charge is also on the older side so we aren't entirely sure they fully understand what to do. It sounds like the relative regularly sees their primary care physician - what are next steps ? Can the primary help to identify cognitive issues? Should they see a neurologist? [/quote]
