Dementia topic of most recent Eye on Oshkosh, taped 2-5-2026

On the latest edition of Eye on Oshkosh, the topic of dementia and related issues are explored with Sheri Fairman, MSW, CMDCP, dementia care consultant and owner of Dementia Care Solutions (DementiaCareSolutions.org).  

According to the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org) over 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. By 2050, this number is projected to rise to nearly 13 million. That means that about 1 in 9 Americans age 65 and older has Alzheimer's. 

What are the symptoms that might indicate someone is starting to have real memory issues that could be the result of some form of dementia? At what point should memory issues be discussed with a doctor? When should you consider getting help for yourself or a loved one who may be living with a form of dementia? Did you know that you can have a memory screen baseline done for free at your county’s Aging, Disability and Resource Center? 

These are just a few of the many things discussed during this important hour. You can see the show in its entirety here or by following this link: https://youtu.be/fPD22zEHTQM
