Dementia Map wanted to share a great article on wildfires and keeping our seniors safe by the Fire Help Center on Alzheimer's Speaks.

Weapon of the day: curiosity can take a back seat in caregiving because it’s time consuming, distracting, and puts focus on the fanciful. It’s also life raft waiting to be used.
Don’t forget about it. #caregiverwarrior #caregiver #caregiving #curiosity

Five of us got together and we wrote this book because we couldn’t find what we needed. Check this book out. You won’t regret it.
You may not know it, but we’ve written four books about caregiving! This is our first one and if you’re new to caregiving, this is a great place to start to get a lot of good information. #caregiving

Memory Joggers is a low tech solution for recall exercises. (Although it’s available as free PDFs and on YouTube. 😉) They help those with cognitive decline finish familiar phrases, strengthening the connections to those memories. Helps foster Guided Reminiscence, too!

Memory Joggers fits the “Challenge Your Mind” category. It’s a free activity to recall the last word of a familiar phrase. Recall strengthen ties to a memory each time it’s used. That’s why we all love trivia. Free PDFs available (jadcommedia.com/memoryjogger…) and now on YouTube.
