Take me with you to that farmer’s market we love so much! Many people with dementia love the fresh air, fall vegetables and browsing the vendor booths at the market. It’s an experience that engages all the senses – sights, smells, tastes, touch and more. If you’re caring for someone with dementia, make it an outing for both of you. Get in the know with the #StillMeYYC community. Find a like-minded group of people, and suggestions for more activities and outings here: https://lnkd.in/ghq5f4eg #StillMeYYC #alzyyc #alzheimerawareness #alzheimersupports #alzheimerscalgary #alzheimers #knowalzheimers #alzheimerscommunity #knowdementia #dementiasupports

In it, Olga shares her story of seeing how small, enjoyable activities can make a big difference in their daily lives. Whether it's a favourite song, reading stories, or sharing a moment of laughter, these little joys create meaningful connections and lasting memories. If you or someone you know is on this journey, this blog is for you.

🔍 Dementia 101 🔍 Is “warning sign” feeling less like a Coldplay song and more like an actual sign? Losing track of dates, days of the week or which month it is, can be a concern. Understanding these signs, what’s normal aging and what’s a possible concern, can reduce worries and help you know when to go get it checked out. ⏳ Learn more and check us out! https://bit.ly/3Z38o6V Looking for more signs, resources and support?
