🧠 June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. For many families, changes around meals are some of the first signs they notice when a loved one is living with dementia. A favorite dish goes untouched. Someone who once loved cooking seems unsure what to make. Even a trip to the grocery store can start to feel more confusing.
While these changes can be difficult to navigate, small, thoughtful choices can help. Familiar foods and consistent routines can make meals feel more comfortable and enjoyable for people living with dementia.
Learn about simple seasonal food ideas and practical ways to create more ease and connection around the table.

☀️ June brings the longest days of the year – and for individuals living with Alzheimer's, that extra light can make a meaningful difference.
Alzheimer's can disrupt the body's internal clock, affecting sleep, mood, and daily patterns. Thoughtfully designed environments can help support healthier rhythms, and summer offers some natural advantages.
