The new year is right around the corner! Have you made your New Year’s resolutions yet? If not, why not resolve to encourage an older adult to exercise regularly? Even better, commit to joining them in a new exercise program so you can both reap the benefits!

The holiday season is a time for joy, togetherness, and celebration, but for individuals living with dementia, it can be challenging and disorienting.

The holidays can be a painful time for many who are grieving the loss of a loved one. There are oftentimes traditions or events that a person would be involved in that they are no longer around for, and that changes the dynamic of the whole celebration. Maybe they always read a certain story, baked a certain dish, or were integral to the holiday. Or even if it was just their presence that is missed, the first holiday following a death will be different than normal.

Are you the primary caregiver for someone in your family? If so, most of your time is spent looking after this person (or people) and ensuring they have the best life possible.
