Thank You, Heather Glen Senior Living!

Heather Glen Senior Living was honored to host a “Be a Dementia Friend” session—an important initiative focused on raising awareness, understanding, and compassion for those living with dementia in our community.

Residents and team members came together to learn what dementia is, what it is not, and how small, thoughtful actions can make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals experiencing memory loss.

A heartfelt thank you to Jessica Adam, Director of Business Development at Amada Senior Care and a Dementia Friends Champion, for leading this impactful discussion and empowering participants to help build a more dementia-friendly Lehigh Valley.

Together, we proudly say: “I’m a Dementia Friend!”

👉 To learn more about becoming a Dementia Friend, please reach out to Kim Garrison, Heather Glen Marketing Director and Dementia Friendly Lehigh Valley Steering Committee Member.

🧠 Keeping your brain healthy doesn’t have to be complicated.

Try learning something new—maybe a new recipe, a musical instrument, or even a few words in another language.
Switch up your routine by taking a different walking route or using your non-dominant hand for small tasks.

These simple changes help strengthen brain connections and support long-term cognitive health.
Your brain loves variety!

Sundowning refers to a pattern of increased confusion, anxiety, agitation, or restlessness that often occurs in the late afternoon or evening for individuals living with dementia. 🌄

While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, there are several factors that may contribute. Creating a predictable routine, maximizing daylight exposure, reducing stimulation as the day winds down, and offering calm reassurance can help ease anxiety and confusion.
What matters most is responding with patience, understanding, and compassion.

Sundowning can be challenging, but understanding its causes and planning ahead can help reduce stress for both individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.

💜 Creating awareness is one step toward creating a dementia-friendly community.
