From the National Council for Certified Dementia Practitioners:

Pay Attention to Changing Daylight

As the days become shorter, a person living with dementia may become more tired, restless, or confused later in the day. 

Make the most of daylight by planning outdoor activities earlier when possible.

Open curtains and blinds during the day to bring in natural light and make sure indoor spaces are well lit as evening approaches.

Maintaining a calm and familiar evening routine can also help ease the transition.

Make sure to check on your seniors, especially during the hot summer months. ☀️💧

Dehydration can be especially harmful to older adults. Share a glass of water with a neighbor, check in on an older family member or friend, and make sure their air conditioning is working properly.

A simple phone call, a visit, or a glass of water could make a big difference. ❤️

Check on your seniors. Stay hydrated. Stay cool. Stay connected.

I have a young 25 year old who is high level autistic that really wants to learn how to cook. Any recommendations on any cooking classes? Preferably near Kissimmee but for the right class, he can travel within a one hour radius.

Today was grocery shopping day for our young client (25 y/o)

Me, as we walk in the store and he totally bypasses the fruits and veggies: Don't you like fruits and veggies? We need to buy healthy foods.

Him: Yeah, I guess. I do like corn and broccoli.

Cereal isle

Me: 2 boxes of lucky charms? I understand one box but we should get a healthy cereal too.

This was my theme through the store.
Then I saw a very yummy chocolate parfait, which I grabbed, and then a bit later saw a very yummy pack of jelly rolls, which I grabbed.

Him: um, what happened to eating healthy?

Me: Oh, this isnt for me. 😅 (liar)

Moral of the story: Do as I say, Not as I do! 🙈
