June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month. There are more than 55 million people worldwide living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. Join us by wearing purple and raising awareness this June. Visit the Alzheimer’s Association for more information - Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month | Alzheimer's Association (https://www.alz.org/abam/overview.asp) The National Institute on Aging published an article “End-of-Life Care for People With Dementia” in which they highlight considerations for end-of-life care for people with dementia. It is important to note that people often live for many years with dementia, however, because the disease can lead to challenges in communication and understanding it is important to have these conversations as early as possible to ensure clarity, reduce stress and guessing. Ensuring that there are advanced care planning documents in place and the family is aware of the person’s wishes is imperative.
