We know it’s difficult to talk about #Alzheimersdisease or #memoryloss with a parent, and oftentimes the conversation happens when it is too late. However you choose to approach your senior loved one on the topic, it is important that they feel supported and encouraged. 💜 Researchers have found that family members who don’t discuss the disease with their loved ones may witness increased fear and paranoia.😨
Get tips on how to initiate the first conversation with your senior loved one and how #ComfortKeepers can help your family navigate through the process here: https://www.comfortkeepers.com/articles/info-center/alzheimers-and-dementia-care/alzheimers-disease-communication-tips
Thank you to our hard-working caregivers who support our senior loved ones daily and to our seniors who’ve helped shape our country into what it is today.
Happy Labor Day!

The healthier we are as we age, the greater our chances are for living independently in the comfort of our own homes. While exercising, getting sufficient sleep, eating a well-balanced diet, and maintaining social activity are all part of living a joyful life, seniors can promote healthy aging by choosing to vaccinate themselves against illnesses and diseases that can affect their overall health. 💉
Learn more about the recommended vaccinations available to seniors here:

Respite care is when an in-home care service provides breaks for family caregivers. We understand that being a family caregiver for a senior loved one has its strengths and challenges, but the important thing is to make sure you’re taking the necessary breaks to practice self-care to maintain mental and physical well-being for a joyful life.
Comfort Keepers can help! Our specially trained and trusted caregivers will stay with your loved one while you take a break to care for yourself for as much or little time you need.

Opportunities to engage with others and grow relationships can help improve symptoms of depression, ease feelings of senior isolation and loneliness, and even reduce the risk of dementia.
By spending time with our caregivers, your loved one not only has someone at the ready to help around the house or help prepare a meal, they also have a friend who offers social connection and a companion who can help them get back to doing the things that bring them ✨joy.✨

Studies have shown that seniors who maintain social connection and relationships lead healthier lives, both physically and mentally. 🤗
Today, there are so many platforms that allow for meaningful interaction. At Comfort Keepers, we wanted to share some ideas for socially connecting from home:
💬 Start a family group chat for life updates, photos, and conversations with loved ones
✍️ Become a penpal—include drawings, photos, or small mementos in your letter
♟ Play together online! Choose from classics like Scrabble, Monopoly, trivia, or chess
