Each of the dimensions of wellness is important to overall wellness for seniors; they are like pieces to a whole.

While many of us are excited for an extra hour of sleep, this seasonal change can be especially hard on those living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. As darkness arrives earlier, it can intensify confusion, restlessness, and sundowning symptoms, creating additional challenges for both individuals and caregivers.

💡 In our latest blog, we share helpful tips to ease the transition and support a sense of calm and routine during this time.

Memory Care Tid Bit 🧠

The changing seasons can be difficult for those living with Alzheimer's and dementia. With sunrise and sunset times changing rapidly, it becomes difficult for memory care residents to maintain a consistent circadian rhythm, which can result in:

🍁 Trouble sleeping
🍁 More extreme sundowning
🍁 Heightened confusion

Routines and consistency are the key to comfort during these changes. Be sure to be consistent and patient as you navigate the seasons!

Yesterday, Peaceful Pines joined Bethel Lutheran Home and Madison Regional Health System for an emergency preparedness drill! 🚑

The drill simulated a mock fire and explosion at Bethel to help us all practice responding to real-life emergencies. Thank you to the Boy Scouts and National Honor Society members who volunteered to make it possible! 💚
