Caring for someone with dementia can feel overwhelming, especially when behaviors change and moments feel unpredictable. 🤍

One gentle reminder for families: behavior is communication.

Staying calm, validating feelings, and creating consistent routines can help bring comfort in those moments.

At The Legacy of DeForest, our memory care teams are trained to understand these behaviors and respond with patience, structure, and compassion.

We support families with personalized care, calm environments, and guidance every step of the way.

You do not have to navigate this alone. 🤍

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of vision loss in older adults, and early detection makes a meaningful difference 👁️

Because symptoms often appear slowly, regular eye exams are the best way to protect long-term vision and catch any changes early.

If your loved one is noticing increased difficulty with vision, sensitivity to light, or trouble navigating familiar spaces, it may be time for a checkup.

This month is a helpful reminder to keep eye health a priority.

Caring for a loved one is a meaningful role, but it can also bring feelings of guilt and self-doubt. 🫂

Many family caregivers wonder if they’re doing enough or making the right decisions.

It’s important to remember that needing support does not mean you’ve failed your loved one. It means you care deeply and want them to have the safest, most comforting environment possible.

Be gentle with yourself. You’re doing more than you realize, and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Here at The Legacy of DeForest, we’re always here to support you and your family 🤎
