The loss of memory that results from Alzheimer's most definitely effects one's identity. You know longer retain the experiences and feelings. Your opinions and sentiments are gone from you. All those things which contributed to the definition of who you were vanishes within one's decline.
When one has Alzheimers, however, one does not completely lose their identity. You still have your character and personality intact. You will behave in a similar manner as when you still had your facilities intact. When one loses one's memory in the first place, it only effects one's own view of your identity that was effected by memory. Your friends and family will remember who you were before your Alzheimer's long after you do. Though you will lose your past, your loved ones will preserve you for the future.
