🍂 Fall is full of opportunities for simple connection.

If you're caring for someone living with dementia, activities don't have to be complicated.

Try:

🍎 Baking or making a favorite recipe together
🍂 Taking a drive to look at the leaves
📸 Looking through family photos
🎵 Listening to favorite music
🧩 Working on a simple puzzle
☕ Sharing a warm drink and conversation

The goal isn't to accomplish something.

The goal is connection. 💙

The US National Weather Service Boston MA is forecasting a Nor’easter that will impact Massachusetts this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with the most significant impacts on Cape Cod and the Islands.

Tips for preparing ahead of the storm:

• Monitor conditions closely and ensure that Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) are enabled on your cell phone. If your community has a reverse 911 system, you should sign up to receive local warnings. ✔️

• Make sure your home emergency kit is stocked with supplies that could help in the event of a power outage, including a flashlight and extra batteries. ✔️

Additional tips on what to do in the event of a flood or power outage can be found at mass.gov/MEMA
