Receiving a dementia diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure everything out at once.
Start by learning about the condition, talking with your healthcare provider, and exploring resources that can help you and your family. Planning ahead and making your home safer can also help you prepare for changing needs.
The National Institute on Aging offers this helpful checklist of steps to consider after a dementia diagnosis. Each step can help individuals and families make informed decisions and find the support they need.
As flu, COVID-19, and RSV become more common during the colder months, one simple habit can help protect you and those around you: washing your hands!
Germs on our hands can enter our bodies when we touch our eyes, nose, or mouth. Washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds helps remove those germs and reduce their spread.
Remember to cover your coughs and sneezes, too, and stay home when you're sick. These everyday habits can help keep our families and communities healthier.
