As people age, they may experience some decline in their cognitive abilities, which is a normal part of the aging process. However, if this cognitive decline becomes more severe, it can lead to mild cognitive impairment or potentially progress to major neurocognitive disorder or dementia. Cognitive decline is a prevalent issue among individuals older than 60. Dementia encompasses diverse etiologies and types, with Alzheimer dementia being the most prevalent. Alzheimer disease can affect different cognitive functions and significantly diminish an individual’s overall well-being. A geriatric assessment can be beneficial in distinguishing between normal aging and more advanced cognitive decline. This activity outlines the evaluation, treatment, and management of cognitive decline, emphasizing the crucial role of an interprofessional team in assessing, treating, and caring for patients with this condition.
