WELLBEING, Healthy Ageing
If you're in the process of planning a healthy later life, you've probably focused on critical aspects like maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, mental fitness, and routine medical check-ups.
But there's a crucial element that often gets overlooked: the impact of socialising on health in later life.
Social connections profoundly affect the well-being and longevity of older adults, making them a vital part of healthy ageing.
In this blog post, we'll delve deep into the importance of socialising in promoting senior health, shed light on its role in healthy ageing, and share practical strategies for staying socially active and engaged in your golden years.
Dementia
Lewy body dementia is a form of progressive dementia that affects more than 100,000 people in the UK alone. It can be difficult to understand and care for someone with Lewy Body Dementia at home, as it's often hard to recognise the signs early on.
This blog explores what Lewy Body Dementia is; its causes, symptoms, treatment and care at home. And we'll explain why professional assistance makes a difference when caring for someone with this disease.
Knowing about this disease and its symptoms can help you make an informed decision about treatment and your care options.
