Hi Friend,
November is National Family Caregivers Month.

This November, we recognize the millions of people who care for aging parents, spouses, and loved ones across the country.
We also want to shine a light on those whose Caregiving chapter has ended.

When caregiving stops, it can leave a mix of emotions like relief, grief, exhaustion, and sometimes a deep sense of “Who am I now?” 🤔

If you’re a former caregiver, we’d love to hear how you’ve found your footing again.

Feel free to comment on the article to share your story.🙂

**The Surprising Connection Between Oral Health, Hearing Loss, and Dementia Risk** 🦷👂

Recent research has uncovered a significant connection between proper dental care for seniors, addressing hearing loss, and reducing the risk of dementia. This article explores the science behind these findings and offers practical tips for caregivers. 📚

As a family caregiver, you're on the front lines of safeguarding your parent's health and well-being. You are likely already aware of the importance of a heart-healthy diet ❤️ and regular physical activity. However, new evidence suggests that there are two unexpected yet crucial factors in the fight against cognitive decline: oral health 🦷 and hearing health 👂.

Scientists are discovering that maintaining your parents'🤔dental health and addressing any hearing loss are not just about ensuring a bright smile or facilitating conversation; they may be essential steps in lowering their risk of developing dementia. 🧠

Let's delve into the research and the connections between hearing loss and dementia, oral health and dementia, and most importantly, what you can do to help! 💪

What a fun day we had! We cooked outside even with the midday rain giving us a little challenge. We played games, listened to some great music, and crafted our own delicious sundaes 🍨🍦.

Good times all around!
