In response to:
A person with Alzheimers will remember the past because it is in their long-term memory part of the brain. The recent or short-term memory is more likely to be forgotten quickly, therefore, even if you tell them the present events, it is likely that they will forget and you can if you wish tell them again. This process of retelling present information can be frustrating for any caregiver, family member, or friend. However, it is important to realize that the forgetting is part of the disease process.
