Every 3 seconds, someone in the world develops dementia⏱️

Today, over 55 million people are living with the condition and that number is expected to rise sharply in the coming decades.

As we start World Alzheimer’s Month, it’s vital to raise awareness and share resources that support individuals and families affected by dementia.

💜Together, we can help break the stigma, encourage early diagnosis, and ensure no one faces dementia alone.

01/09/2025

To mark the start of World Alzheimer’s Month, we want to highlight some valuable resources available for people living with dementia and for their families.

Below, you’ll find links to support lines, forums, and websites offering guidance and community to those who need it.

7 Signs It May Be Time for Home Care Support

Caring for a loved one often means noticing the small changes. Recognizing the early signs can help families make informed decisions before safety or health becomes a concern.

Here are a few things to watch for:
✔️ Forgetting medications
✔️ Changes in personal hygiene
✔️ Struggling with mobility or balance

Providing the right support at the right time can improve quality of life and give families peace of mind. 💙
