Aging well definitely means different things to different people.

For some, aging well might mean retiring and seeking out adventures or checking items off a bucket list.

For others, it may be a career change- wanting or needing to stay in the workforce, but maybe doing something different- something that speaks more to their heart or soul.

For some who may have health issues, aging well could be changing their living situation to something that makes them feel more safe and secure.

My point is, the way we age, and what "aging well" means is personal, and the only "right way" is the way that works for you.

According to the Family Caregivers Alliance, more than
15 MILLION adult family caregivers care for someone who has Alzheimer's disease or other dementia.

Let that number sink in.

Everyone knows someone who is caring for, or supporting someone who is caring for someone with some form of dementia.

Stress, anger, frustration, fear, and depression are pieces of the emotional distress experienced by caregivers, and the negative impacts on their personal relationships, finances, and health can be devastating.

The goal of this workshop is to provide a better understanding of the disease, and practical tips for providing compassionate care and support.

This workshop is for ANYONE who has a person with Alzheimer's or other form of dementia in their life.

The workshop includes a digital workbook for note taking during the event, AND a 15 minute private consultation so the participant may ask questions specific to their circumstances.

Please help me get the word out by sharing this post- anyone, anywhere is welcome to participate ❤️

BE AWARE OF THE EARLY WARNING SIGNS OF A STROKE...

When someone is having a stroke, time is of the essence.

Nearly 800,000 people have strokes each year, and of that number:

140,000 will not survive it
10% of patients will require long term care
40% of patients experience moderate-to-severe impairments

The quicker an ambulance is called and treatment is started, the greater chance the patient has of a better recovery.

The onset of any one of these SUDDEN SIGNS could mean a STROKE:

B alance- watch for sudden loss of balance
E yes- check for vision loss
F ace- look for an uneven smile
A rm- check if one arm is weak
S peech- listen for slurred speech
T ime- call 911 RIGHT AWAY

Learn the "BEFAST" signs.

Acting quickly just might save a life
