15 fundamental signs of cognitive impairment checklist

This video is designed to help financial advisers and family members identify early signs of diminished cognitive capacity in older adults. The checklist was developed in collaboration with psychiatrists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and is based in part on a recent study conducted at MGH investigating the relationship among aging, cognitive impairment, and financial decision-making.


You can also view and download a two page PDF version of the checklist, which contains examples of behaviors to monitor.
