If you were diagnosed with Alzheimer's, what would you do? As an end of life doula, I have had the opportunity to think about this a lot. My number one priority would be to make sure I could end my life on my own terms before my cognitive decline made that impossible. That's why I am really excited that California's advocacy group, A Better Exit, is working on proposed changes to the current law. SB 1196 would: Eliminate the requirement whereby a person must be within six months of death; Include the option of an intravenous method for self-administering the life-ending drugs; Make Medical Aid In Dying available to people with early to mid-stage dementia who have decision-making capacity. If you or your loved one had severe cognitive decline, would you want these options so you could end your life with dignity? #endoflifedoula #alzheimers #endoflifeplanning

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a form of dementia, is often seen in older adults and may or may not be progressive. It does not necessarily mean a precursor to full-blown dementia but could suggest that a brain function change has happened. Some common signs of MCI are forgetfulness, lost train of thought, confusion, overwhelm or impulsiveness, irritability, and aggression. If you think your older loved one might be experiencing cognitive change, we can help. Our advisors are Certified Dementia Practitioners, and while we do not diagnose, we can help you create a plan of action.

Today is Day 1 of Alzheimer's Awareness: More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's or some form of dementia. This progressive neurodegenerative disorder affects memory, thinking skills and behavior, and has significant emotional, physical and financial ramifications for family and friends. Unfortunately, there's no cure. If you know someone who has been diagnosed, they need you. We need you! As Ecclesiastes 4:9-11 says, "two are better than one because together, there's a better return for your labor. Though one is overpowered, two can defend themselves. If either of them falls down, the other can help the fallen one up." Consider giving $4, $9 or $11 today to help all our friends across the country that feels overpowered to defend themselves. Let's work together to make a difference.

As many as 6.7 million older adults in America have Alzheimer’s disease today, a number expected to double by 2060. That’s why we recognize June as Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a time to have open conversations about cognitive health and raise awareness about Alzheimer’s and other dementias. This year, the National Institute on Aging calls on everyone to pay special attention to Alzheimer’s disease among the Latino community. Whether it be Latinos living with dementia, their caregivers, or their families, Boston Senior Home Care stands by its promise to provide the information and support needed to help them remain strong at home. #NIAAlzheimers #AlzheimersAndBrainAwarenessMonth #AlzheimersAwareness #DementiaSupport #CognitiveHealth #BrainHealth
