People with dementia won’t always remember to dress appropriately for colder weather, so it’s important to help make sure they’re wearing the right clothes. Layers are key to keeping warm, and the best materials for maintaining body heat are cotton, wool or fleecy fibers. #Dementia #Alzheimer #DementiaCare #LosTiemposSeniorLiving #OrangeCounty

Keeping active can help to boost circulation and help keep someone with dementia warm. It’s a good idea to encourage your loved one to move around at least once an hour. If walking is difficult or extreme weather conditions make it hard to go outside, simply moving their arms and legs and wiggling their toes can be helpful. #DementiaCare #KeepActive #LosTiemposSeniorLiving #FountainValley

Today, we celebrate the birthday of civil right’s leader, Martin Luther King. When we hear his name, we most often think of his legendary I Have A Dream speech, the civil rights movement, and, sadly, his assassination. When we celebrate his birthday, let’s take a few moments to look into the personal story of the man himself. #MartinLutherKing #LosTiemposSeniorLiving #OrangeCounty
