Caregiving Through Memory Loss
How to recognize Alzheimer's and what you can do to help
 Memory loss can be a normal part of aging, but when it disrupts daily life it may also be a warning sign for Alzheimer's. This fatal brain disease causes a slow decline in memory and can present unique challenges for caregivers and family members. The Alzheimer's Association has developed a list of warning signs for caregivers to watch out for: - Memory loss that disrupts daily life
- Challenges in planning or solving problems
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, work, or leisure
- Confusion with time or place
- Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
- New problems with words in speaking or writing
- Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
- Decreased or poor judgment
- Withdrawal from work or social activities
- Changes in mood and personality
Would you like to help raise funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research?
Please walk in the Pinellas County Memory Walk with
The Caregiver Hour team. Sign up now, and visit our table, too!
The Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's.

About Senior Holistic Living
Senior Holistic Living is a comforting resource for caregivers who are seeking guidance, encouragement, and more balance in their life. We are a reminder that caregiving does not have to be a mindless duty - that it can, in fact, be a mindful opportunity for the caregiver's own growth.
If you need advice or have unanswered questions, our recommended resources will be both helpful and reassuring. If you yearn to feel more connected to your feelings and thoughts but are not quite sure how to make it happen, allow us to lend a hand. And if you simply seek respite during a time of crisis, we can help you find peace. We'll show you how to create balance and minimize stress so that you can make better and more conscious decisions.
