When caring for a loved one with dementia, it’s natural to focus on supporting memory and mental sharpness. But did you know that physical health plays just as big a role in overall well-being?

Staying active, eating well, and maintaining healthy routines can lead to better sleep, more stable blood pressure and blood sugar, and stronger heart and brain function. All of this adds up to a better quality of life.

Here are some of the key benefits of combining physical and cognitive wellness for those living with dementia:

✨ Clarity is Kindness: What We May Be Doing Wrong in Caregiving ✨

Caregiving for someone on a dementia journey is an act of deep love. Yet sometimes, what feels natural may not fully meet our loved one where they are.
