There's something powerful about stepping outside on a warm summer morning – the feel of sun on your face, birdsong in the background, and the smell of flowers blooming nearby. 🌻
Time outdoors is especially essential to well-being for people on the dementia journey. Here’s why:
☀️ Sunlight boosts Vitamin D production, supporting health, mobility, and mood
💤 Being outside in the daytime helps regulate sleep and reduce late-day confusion
🌳 Connecting with nature sparks sense memories in unique ways
