💜 SEPTEMBER IS WORLD ALZHEIMER’S MONTH
This month, we join people around the world in raising awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, challenging stigma and recognising the millions of people, families and carers whose lives are touched by dementia.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive condition that can affect memory, thinking, behaviour and a person’s ability to manage everyday activities.
But behind every diagnosis is a person with a lifetime of memories, relationships, interests and experiences.
For people living with dementia, familiar surroundings, meaningful routines, social connection and compassionate, person-centred support can all play an important role in everyday wellbeing.
World Alzheimer’s Month is also a reminder to check in on the people who provide care. Supporting someone with dementia can be incredibly rewarding, but carers need understanding and support too.
This September, let’s continue creating communities where people living with dementia and those who care for them feel understood, respected and supported. 💜
