Hi everyone! A question that often arises is how to discern if our elders might be experiencing neurodegenerative issues. The 8 A's of dementia illuminate a range of symptoms that frequently get brushed off as typical signs of aging. However, it's vital to understand that these indicators should not be taken lightly. By diligently observing these symptoms, we empower ourselves to detect dementia at its earliest stages and initiate the necessary interventions. Early detection allows for more effective management strategies and opens up avenues for participation in clinical trials and access to new treatments. Prevention, as they say, is better than cure. Together, we can ensure our loved ones receive the informed care and support they need and deserve. By embracing this knowledge, we can make a profound difference in their lives, providing them with the compassion and understanding they require. Let's commit to staying informed and vigilant, supporting our elders with the respect and attention they deserve. Together, we can create a community that is well-equipped to handle the challenges of dementia with empathy and care.

This is a great article. Another aspect to consider is that caregivers often have feelings of guilt or shame for experiencing anticipatory grief. “Shouldn’t I be trying to enjoy the time left?” Or feeling like they are not grieving well. However, it's important to recognize that grief is layered and extends beyond just the loss of a loved one. You can experience it before OR after they pass away. People can grieve the changes in their own lives or maybe the loss of a loved one’s identity due to their advanced or terminal illness. It’s important to know that if you feel this way, you are not alone in the slightest. Seeking support can be so helpful.

Brain Injury Awareness Week 2024, is a time to reflect on how we can better support and advocate for Australians living with brain injuries. This year's theme, "What’s your connection?" highlights the impact brain injuries can have on individuals, affecting their connections with family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers. In a time when the "rental crisis" and "cost of living crisis" are challenging everyone, let's ensure that those living with brain injuries are not forgotten or left behind. With 1 in 45 Australians affected, it's vital that we deepen our understanding and create a more inclusive society where everyone is supported. Whether it's a 19-year-old recovering from an accident or a 65-year-old affected by stroke or dementia, brain injury can connect us all in unexpected ways. Together, we need to strengthen these connections, improve awareness, and advocate for better access to the programs and systems that support those living with brain injuries.

I am not going to lie; this one upset me. I was a huge fan of the Wendy Williams show. Hearing about her frontal lobe dementia diagnosis was heartbreaking. This is a complicated disease to manage and care for. It’s a disease that requires kindness, support, and education. FTD is tough on the person diagnosed and the person caring for FTD. FTD symptoms can range from unusual behaviors, emotional problems, trouble communicating, and difficulty walking. If you are concerned that someone in your life is experiencing these symptoms, please get in touch with their PCP or neurologist. It’s better to question unusual behavior than ignore it. There are resources and people to help you plan to support this disease. As for caregivers, you need support from your loved ones. Include your family in the care plan, take time for yourself, and support groups can be beneficial. If you are lost or need help creating a plan, please don't hesitate to reach out. As a Senior Living Specialists, we are all about creating a plan and providing you with the right resources to support your given situation. Senior Living Specialists Philly https://lnkd.in/gggmv7Rt
