June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month

In honor of Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, Crittenton Home Care encourages you to help those suffering with Alzheimer ’s disease and their families to seek support through the many offerings at the Greater Michigan Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association. Through national and local initiatives, the Alzheimer’s Association assists individuals and caregivers with their journey of Alzheimer ’s disease.

On June 21, 2015, join in The Longest Day; fighting Alzheimer’s from sunrise to sunset on the longest day of the year. Millions of people across the country will join by wearing purple to raise awareness and honor those fazing Alzheimer’s Disease.

Crittenton Home Care invites the community to a Caregiver Support Group the third Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Auburn Hills Community Center.

Lead by an Alzheimer’s Association facilitator, the group provides an opportunity for caregivers to discuss how their lives have been affected as they care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease.

A safe and supportive environment will be created so group members can share feelings and coping strategies, reduce feelings of loneliness, as well as find new meaning, connection, and hope. Monthly meetings will be held based on interest and community response. Please call for details and information on future dates and times. Volunteer respite assistance may be available.

If you have a loved one who is struggling, companion care may be the answer. From house call visits to 24-hour care, Crittenton Home Care offers a safe and affordable way to support you and your family as you navigate through the aging process.
