🧠💤 Less Than 6 Hours of Sleep? Your Brain May Be Paying the Price.

📚 Research published in Nature Communications shows that consistently sleeping less than 6 hours per night in midlife is associated with a 30% increased risk of developing dementia later in life.

⚠️ This is not just about feeling tired.

🌙 During deep sleep, the brain activates its glymphatic system — a powerful cleansing mechanism that removes harmful waste products and toxic proteins.
🧼✨ When sleep is shortened, this vital “night shift” cleaning process is reduced.

⏳ Over time, that matters.

💡 Quality sleep is not a luxury.
It is neurological maintenance.

At Jura Care Village, we emphasise proactive brain health — and sleep is one of the most powerful, yet underestimated, protective factors.

✔️ Prioritise 7–8 hours of quality sleep 😴
✔️ Maintain a consistent sleep routine ⏰
✔️ Reduce evening screen exposure 📵
✔️ Address chronic insomnia early 🩺

Your brain works hard for you. 🧠💙
Let it recover properly.

🌿 Prevention starts today.

🧠💙 Dementia: It is NOT their fault. It is a DISEASE.

When someone repeats the same question…
When they forget your name…
When their personality changes…

It is not stubbornness.
It is not attention-seeking.
It is not deliberate.

Dementia is a medical condition affecting the brain — altering memory, behaviour, reasoning, and communication. The person you love is not “being difficult.” They are navigating a neurological illness beyond their control.

Understanding changes everything. Compassion changes even more. 💙

If your family needs guidance, structured care, or professional support, we are here to assist.

To have this disease
whether it is Alzheimers
Frontal Temporal Lobe Dementia
Korsakoffs or....

We are still here...

We love to feel free
We love the sun on our skin
The wind in our hair
The breath on our lips

Jura Care Village
share this with our people
good days and bad days
To help them to live with their disease

we try
making it a bit softer...
a brain battling to remember where they are
who they are
what to do and how...

A little bit of nature
and they all can still feel and breathe the beauty and preciousness
of being here...
Being alive.

With love

🧠 Understanding Dementia: The 3 Most Common Types Worldwide 🌍

Dementia affects an estimated 55–57 million people globally, and the numbers continue to rise as populations age.

The three most common types include: • Alzheimer’s disease (60–70%)
• Vascular dementia (10–20%)
• Dementia with Lewy bodies (5–15%)

Dementia is not a single condition, but a spectrum of disorders that impact memory, thinking, movement, and daily functioning. Early awareness, correct diagnosis, and specialised care make a meaningful difference — for patients and their families.

🚀 Jura Care Village | Stepping Into the Future of Care 🤖💙

As part of Jura Care’s regular two intensive training days (across different shifts), our teams also completed a refresher programme and training on new add-ons within the EzeMind AI AVA Healthcare Platform. This represents another key milestone in how we deliver, document, and manage care across the village.

📱 Carer Level – Mobile & Tablet App
Carers now record real-time care ex*****on data for every resident, including (to name a few):
✅ Individual Care Plan tasks & actions
🍽️ Meals & fluid intake
❤️ Vitals & observations
📝 Incident reporting
🩲 Incontinence wear usage (accurate billing)
💊 Over-the-counter medication tracking

This creates a living care database, covering care activities, health data, social interaction, meals, sleep patterns, and daily routines.

🖥️ Nursing & Management Level
Nurses and management access a centralised platform with, for example:
📊 Daily shift summaries per resident
💉 Medication administration & off-signing
📂 Complete historical care records at a glance

🤖 Meet AVA – The AI Nurse Bot
On top of the system sits AVA, an intelligent AI nurse bot that:
🧠 Uses each resident’s personal care database
🌐 Integrates with external AI platforms for clinical insight
⚠️ Flags medication side-effect warnings
💧 Instantly reports totals such as daily fluids, latest vitals, and key changes

This is not theory — this is practical, data-driven, AI-supported dementia care, enhancing accountability, safety, and quality of life for every resident.

🎉 To top it off, EzeMind also introduced one of their Robots, adding a fun, interactive element to the training sessions with our staff.

🧠✨ What’s New in Alzheimer’s Care?

The way we understand and care for Alzheimer’s is changing — and that’s good news 💙

Here are some of the latest trends making a real difference:

🩸 Earlier detection
Simple blood tests and better scans are helping doctors spot Alzheimer’s much earlier, giving families more time to plan and prepare.

💊 New treatments on the horizon
New medicines are being tested that aim to slow the illness, not just manage symptoms — offering new hope 🌱

🤖 Smarter care with technology
AI and digital tools are helping caregivers understand behaviour, improve safety, and personalise daily care.

🌍 Growing focus on quality care
Worldwide, more attention is being placed on dignity, comfort, and quality of life for people living with dementia.

At Jura Care, we stay informed so our residents and families receive care that is compassionate, current, and thoughtful.
