The holidays can be a wonderful time spent with family and friends. However, when you’re making your holiday plans and want to include a loved one who is living with dementia, there are extra factors to consider. If they are currently receiving dementia care at home or other type of senior care, it’s important to know how to continue that care over the holidays, as well as what additional requirements they may have when being away from their normal environment and routine.

Few people realize they have osteoporosis before they suffer a serious bone fracture or break.

It is possible to have hypertension for years without any symptoms. However, even without symptoms, damage to blood vessels and your heart will still take place. As we age, it is important to regularly visit a doctor to ensure that your blood pressure is under control. In the case of older adults, seniors may need live in care or some type of elder care support in order to ensure that they keep on top of medical appointments and any required follow up.
