Taking care of a loved one can require time, energy, and patience. One person may not be able to do it alone. If family members cannot commit to a regular way to help, reach out to your community for support. Finding and accepting help often helps make the caregiving experience more positive for you and your loved one. Some families get help from home health aides, who help with bathing and dressing, as well as light cleaning and meal preparation. Ask your health care provider about these services and check with volunteer associations about others who might be willing to help out. And of course, The Vineyards is here to help when you need it.

How many times have you walked into a room and forgotten what you came for?

Such feelings are natural and it can be comforting to know the facts, understand the difference between “normal” changes and serious disease, and take steps to improve your brain health.

Here at the Vineyards, we’re celebrating the coming of the season and the sense of community that brings us together.
