Dementia & the Holidays: New Year’s Edition 🎉
New Year’s celebrations don’t have to be loud or late to be meaningful. For loved ones living with dementia, simple and familiar moments can help the night feel joyful and calm.
Here are a few dementia-friendly ways to celebrate together:
⭐️ Celebrate “midnight” early
⭐️ Play familiar music
⭐️ Share a happy memory
⭐️ Enjoy a favorite treat
⭐️ Try a sensory friendly alternative to fireworks
However you ring in the New Year, connection is what counts.
Wishing you a gentle start to 2026. 💙
