BE AWARE

News and Tips for Living Well at Home from Aware Senior Care.

Welcome to our monthly selection of resources and inspiration.

This newsletter is designed to help you help your loved ones live well at home.

We aim to connect with the sons, daughters, and family members of loved ones living at home, and to reach out to our valued Circle of Support partners.

At Aware, we’re all in this together.

WHAT'S NEW WITH AWARE

What's New at Aware? We have a new look for our web site!

It has been three years since we made a major re-design of our website.  We’ve had an amazing journey these past three years and we’ve learned so much and been blessed to meet our amazing circle of support partners and team together to help care for people in our community.

A web site tells a story.  We thought we would launch a new site to tell our story and at the same time provide great tools and information to touch the lives of people who need assistance to live the best life they can.

Major themes:

• We are a family.  Our family is our employees.  Our extended family includes our circle of support partners.  Families taking care of families.  Read about us and our inspiring employee stories (Caregiver Corner).
• It takes a village.  One of the things that bring us great joy is working side-by-side with our great circle of support partners and not-for-profit organizations in RTP.  We get as much joy t’s a family of employees taking care of families.  See our Circle of Support.
  
• We can be your North Star.  Every family and home care situation is unique.  We can be your guide to understand all the aspects of home care and develop the best solution for you.  See How to Get Started and Resources.
• We’ve successfully cared for COVID-19 positive clients.  Blessed with employees with great heart and resolve, we’ve successfully cared for clients inflicted with the COVID-19 Virus.  Read about our experiences on our Blog and our special COVID-19 page.

Special thanks and kudos to Kyle Murray and our strategic digital marketing/SEO partner Corecubed.

Normal Aging versus Non-Normal Aging

How to identify non-normal cognitive challenges as well as impact of changing sensory awareness and processing as dementia progresses

Hosted by Resources for Seniors, Dementia Alliance of North Carolina and Aware Senior Care

Have you ever left your house arriving to your car without the keys?  Been in a social situation talking to somebody and you have suddenly forgotten their name in mid-conversation?  Lost your screwdriver while fixing something only to find it later in your mini fridge? 

Normal?  Not Normal?  As we all age, having some memory loss at times is perfectly normal.  But, many of us sometimes question ourselves: “Are these memory loss events normal or an indicator of some form of dementia?” 

This educational webinar is based on material from Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach® to Care Dementia Training. This material will:

• Compare and contrast normal aging versus not normal aging related to various cognitive functions.
• Describe the five sensory input and processing systems, highlighting the dominant role of vision, and the major differences between protective and discriminating sensation in each.
• Discuss the impact of changing sensory awareness and processing as dementia progresses.

This webinar will feature Teepa Snow Positive Approach® to Care Dementia Certified Trainer Gina Murray, RN, BSN and Director of Aware Senior Care and Melanie Bunn, Dementia Mentor, Coach and Consultant for Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach® to Care organization. 

The 45-minute webinar will conclude with an open Q and A session.

Presenters:

We believe that everyone impacted by Dementia deserves the resources to have an optimal quality of life and hope until there is a world without Dementia. More than 170,000 people in North Carolina are impacted by all types of Dementia, including Alzheimer’s. The need is great to build a state of caring.

That’s why DA-NC provides CARE (Comfort, Assistance, Resources and Education) to caregivers, individuals, medical professionals and partners in North Carolina. Without DA-NC, there would be no local support organization based in NC. It is the only Dementia-focused organization based in North Carolina where 100 percent of donated funds remain in the state.
