Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect memory; it touches every part of a person’s life, and the lives of those who love them. Sadly, a lot of myths still surround the disease, which can lead to misunderstanding and stigma. Let’s change that together.
MYTH 1: “It’s just normal ageing.”
FACT: Alzheimer’s is not a natural part of growing older. It’s a disease that causes complex changes in the brain.
MYTH 2: “Only the elderly get it.”
FACT: While most cases are diagnosed after age 65, younger-onset Alzheimer’s can affect people in their 40s and 50s, often in the prime of their careers and family life.
MYTH 3: “Life is over after diagnosis.”
FACT: With the right support, understanding, and patience, people with Alzheimer’s can still create, laugh, connect, and find joy.
Every time we replace a myth with the truth, we build a kinder, more informed community.
Let's be more informed, for those living with Alzheimer’s and the caregivers walking beside them.
If this touched you, share it. Someone in your circle might need to read it today.

Constant fatigue? Mood swings? Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained?
These could be signs of caregiver burnout, something many people experience when caring for a loved one becomes physically and emotionally exhausting.
Here’s how to spot it:
1. You’re always tired, even after resting
2. You feel easily irritated or detached
3. You’ve lost interest in things you used to enjoy
4. You feel guilty for wanting a break
5. You’re neglecting your own health or needs
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you deserve support too. Taking care of yourself is not selfish; it’s essential.

- Difficulty planning or solving problems
- Trouble completing familiar tasks
- Confusion with time or place
- Changes in mood or personality
If you or a loved one notices any of these signs, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional. Early support can improve quality of life.

Did you know that 1 in 3 adults over 65 experiences a fall each year? While that statistic might sound alarming, the good news is that falls are not an inevitable part of ageing.

In our latest blog, we explore:
1. Common risk factors for falls – and how to reduce them
2. Easy home adjustments that make a big difference
3. The power of physiotherapy in improving strength and balance
4. How rehabilitation after a fall can restore independence
5. The role of professional support in retirement communities

Women’s Day is more than a celebration; it’s a reminder of how far we’ve come.
This special day commemorates the 1956 march of over 20,000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, united in protest against unjust pass laws. Their courage paved the way for greater freedoms, rights and recognition for women across South Africa.
We honour their legacy by celebrating the strength, resilience and everyday contributions of women in our lives.
We’re proud to be part of a community where women continue to uplift, lead and inspire, from our incredible residents to our compassionate staff.
Happy Women’s Day, with gratitude for the past and hope for the future.

Let’s give your brain a workout: Just like our bodies need movement, our minds need mental exercise to stay sharp and focused.
Brain games, crosswords, Sudoku, memory challenges, learning a new language or hobby; these aren’t just fun, they help improve concentration, memory and even mood!
Try:
1. Daily word or number puzzles
2. Card games like bridge or solitaire
3. Learning something new (even how to use that tricky app!)
Keeping your mind active can support brain health and boost your confidence.
At Flower Foundation, we believe in whole-person wellbeing: body, mind and soul. What’s your favourite way to keep your brain buzzing?

Think Before You Click: Social Media Scams Are Getting Smarter
Social media should be fun, not stressful! But scammers are out there, and they’re clever. Here’s how to stay one step ahead:
- Friend requests from people you’ve never met? It’s okay to ignore or delete them. Not everyone online is who they say they are.
- Competitions asking you to "click and win"? Real prizes don’t ask for your personal info or payment to claim them.
- News that sounds too wild to be true? It probably is. Avoid clicking strange links even if they seem exciting.
If something makes you feel unsure, pause and ask someone you trust.
You’re never too old to be cyber-smart. Let’s look out for each other and keep social media a safe, happy space for everyone.
