Episcopal Senior Life Communities' (ESLC) Community Dementia Program is excited to announce participation in the new Medicare Guiding an Improved Dementia Experience (GUIDE) Program.
Each November, communities across the country come together for National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month — a time to raise awareness of the disease, recognize the millions of Americans providing care, and reaffirm our commitment to creating dementia-friendly communities.
The demand for neurologists has long outpaced the supply of trained physicians specializing in diagnosing and treating brain conditions. For over a decade, experts have identified this growing need for neurologists nationwide and the gaps this shortage creates across our health care system.
Caring for a loved one with dementia is a journey filled with emotional and practical challenges. As the disease progresses, there may come a time when transitioning to higher levels of care, such as memory care or a skilled nursing facility, becomes necessary.
By actively showing appreciation and support for caregivers, we can make a positive impact on their well-being and let them know that their efforts are valued.
Caregiving for a loved one with dementia is challenging work. If you have been doing it for a while, it is likely you have honed some marketable skills in the process.
