Surviving Alzheimer's
By Mike King and Jack Kearse
"Just as the parents of the Baby Boom generation were terrified years ago by what they assumed was a death-for-certain diagnosis of cancer, their middle-aged children worry today about something they believe is even worse—living long enough to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD). Only now, the worry is as much for themselves as their parents."

Respite and Home Care
Finding balance between purpose and self-care is crucial, especially for caregivers. The Foundation advocates for caregivers to prioritize respite, stepping away from their responsibilities whenever possible. Remember, your well-being matters too. We often recommend Senior 911 as a resource to provide assistance during these breaks. #CaregiverSupport #SelfCare
Medication Management
Effective medication management is a cornerstone of maintaining health and well-being, particularly for older adults managing multiple prescriptions. It's not just about taking pills; it's about ensuring the right medications are taken at the right time and in the right doses to prevent complications and maximize therapeutic benefits.
Geriatrix, a trusted resource in medication management for seniors, offers invaluable support in navigating the complexities of medication regimes. With Geriatrix, caregivers and individuals alike can access tailored solutions, including medication reminders, dosage tracking, and medication interaction alerts. By leveraging such resources, individuals can take proactive steps towards managing their health with confidence and peace of mind. After all, when it comes to medication, precision and consistency are paramount for promoting overall well-being and quality of life.
