As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re reminded how important it is to include loved ones with dementia in the celebration in ways that feel comforting and joyful. 💜

Hosting a “mini-Thanksgiving” for family members living with dementia can be more comfortable and meaningful than a big celebration.

✅ Fewer guests means less noise and confusion
✅ Familiar surroundings ease anxiety
✅ More one-on-one time encourages connection

A calm environment helps everyone enjoy the day, and keeps the focus on gratitude and love. 💛

Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain condition that affects memory, thinking and behavior. An estimated 7 million Americans age 65 and older are currently living with Alzheimer’s—an all-time high.

Here’s how you can help:
💜 Learn the signs: Changes in memory and thinking aren’t just “normal aging.” Early awareness matters.
💜 Show compassion: A gentle word, a shared memory, or simply your presence can mean so much to someone with Alzheimer’s.
💜 Support caregivers: Family members provide a tremendous amount of care; they deserve our encouragement, rest and resources.
💜 Raise your voice: Share facts, volunteer or donate to research and support services.

Contact our memory support team today to learn more.

Each month, our communities set off on a global adventure through our Distinctive Destinations program — exploring new cultures, cuisines, and traditions from around the world, all without ever leaving home.

This month, we journeyed to Chile 🇨🇱, a country known for its breathtaking landscapes stretching from the Andes Mountains to the Pacific coast. Residents discovered the beauty of Chilean culture through traditional music, vibrant art, and, of course, delicious food inspired by local favorites. 🌞

From the warmth of shared stories to the joy of new experiences, every Distinctive Destination reminds us that the world is full of wonder — and connection is the greatest adventure of all. ✈️
