For Alzheimer’s Day, we’re raising awareness of a condition that affects 1 in 10 Australians over 65 and 3 in 10 over 85. It’s a reminder of the importance of understanding, empathy, and supporting those living with Alzheimer’s, along with their families, to help them maintain dignity and independence for as long as possible. #WorldAlzheimersDay #Alzheimers #MyBuddyGard

In-home care greatly impacts the quality of life for an elderly parent aging at home. Don't believe me? Research and case studies often highlight several key improvements: 1. Enhanced mental and emotional well-being 2. Better health outcomes 3. Increased safety and reduced falls 4. Greater autonomy and independence 5. Family support and involvement 6. Cost-effectiveness These outcomes are significant for someone considering in-home care, as they underscore the benefits and improvements in quality of life that in-home care can provide, making it a compelling choice for those needing assistance while wishing to remain in their homes. As always, do more research, but you'll find that these are the specific improvements for many many seniors and their families. #seniorcare #inhomecare #caregivingsupport

There are no words that can explain what it feels like to lose a sibling. But there are words that can advocate for change. Abbi's life was taken from her. It's time that we have this conversation. If you have a family who is showing signs of Alzheimer's or dementia, sit down with them, have the hard conversation, and take the keys away. Nothing can bring her back, but we can pass laws that keep this from happening to others. #alzheimersawareness #dementiaawareness #takentoosoon #earlydeath #impaireddriving #mentalhealth #dementiacare #dementiasupport

Caring for Our Seniors: A Collective Responsibility Did you know that nearly 27% of seniors live alone, with many facing overwhelming feelings of loneliness and isolation? 💔 For many, old age is filled with uncertainty, health struggles, and a lack of emotional support. This can make their golden years feel more like a burden than a blessing. At SEASONED CIRCLES, we believe in creating a community where our seniors are seen, heard, and cherished. Let’s stand by them and ensure they never face these years alone. Neha Achhpal #SupportOurSeniors #EndIsolation #AgingWithCare #SeasonedCircles

In times that it is difficult to provide care for your loved one, it is important to consider how to get them the best care, without breaking the bank. Read the article below to learn more about the struggles faced by members of the "Sandwich" Generation and how CareYaya's services can help! 👇
