This World Alzheimer's Day, I had the pleasure of partnering with @mandybda with @aadbermuda to raise awareness of the importance of post-diagnostic care for Dementia. 85% of persons living with dementia do not receive the post-diagnostic care and support services they require. There are multiple interventions that can improve the quality of life of those living with the condition and their supporting family members. We will continue to fight to ensure equal access to these essential services for all Bermudians 🧠🌟❤️

Thanks to Inspire 105 and Ocean 89

CST is back! For our first session we discussed the 5 things we can do to optimize our brain health as we age:

1) Take care of our heart health ❤️ 2) Stay physically active 🏃‍♂️ 3) Follow a MINDful diet 🥗 4) Participate in cognitively stimulating activities 🧠 5) Stay socially connected 🗣 Luckily, the CST program is designed to help us check many of these boxes ✅ So great to see so many participants old and new! #northstardementia #dementiacare #bermuda #cognitivestimulation #friends #navigatingdementiatogether #youarenotalone

I have been thinking a lot lately about self-care

I have been thinking a lot lately about self-care strategies for caregivers. We all know the fundamental importance of caring for ourselves in order to better care for others, BUT the reality is that this is often REALLY HARD. I work with so many caregivers who are at breaking point. Their loved ones are 100% reliant on them for all of their daily care needs. There isn't always someone they can call for relief. It isn't always safe to walk away. There isn't always financial resources available to hire help. Telling someone to "take better care of themselves" isn't always helpful.

Yet, the fact remains that people living with Dementia will suffer if their caregivers are not cared for and supported. Sometimes it is the little things that can help to make the biggest difference throughout a tough day.

Here are some suggestions for 5 minute fixes. Please add yours in the comments below!

* Take a hot/cold shower
* Have a healthy meal/snack
* Drink a glass of water
* Stretch
* Meditate
* Listen to your favourite song
* Look up an inspirational quote
* Watch a funny Youtube video
* Call a friend
* Sit outside
* Take 5 deep breaths
* Count to 10
* Have a good cry
* Go for a walk around the garden
* Make a cup of tea
* Use essential oils
* Journal your feelings

Due to popular demand new dates have been added fo

Took a beautiful stroll with old friends today! ☀️ 🌊 🍦 ❤️ LOVE this recent ramp addition to the local beach, which enables access to those with mobility impairments. I witnessed the delight of a senior feeling the sand between her toes, and paddling in the water with the assistance of family 😍#northstardementia #guidinglight #allthesenses #beachday #reminiscence

Currently exploring Norway 🇳🇴 with my dad- who is 81 years young! Interesting fact: Norway has more than 101,000 people living with Dementia. They recently released the Norwegian National Dementia Plan, which will help to guide policy through 2025. The four identified priority areas are: co-decision making & participation, prevention & public health, high-quality and coordinated services, and planning, skills & knowledge development. What should/would Bermuda’s priority areas be if we could develop a similar document?
