Forgetfulness: Normal or Warning Sign of Something More Serious? Marin Home Care is excited to announce our new Wellness Wednesday initiative. Every Wednesday, we will share helpful tips and information on staying healthy and thriving as we age. Understanding the early signs of dementia and what might be considered normal for aging adults is crucial. Recognizing what might be cause for concern and what is to be expected is important for seniors and their loved ones. This kno...wledge can allow for early intervention for medical care if needed and ease concerns surrounding memory loss and forgetfulness. The Alzheimer’s Association has provided this helpful article as a resource to recognize 10 signs and symptoms of Alzheimers or other potential dementia. The article offers warning signs of a memory loss disorder and compares them to what is considered normal for adults as we age. https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/10_signs Their top 10 warning signs are: 1. Memory loss that impacts daily activities 2. Challenges with planning and problem solving 3. Issues completing familiar tasks 4. Confusion related to date, time or place 5. Issues with vision and spatial awareness 6. Struggles with speech and writing 7. Misplacing or losing items frequently 8. Issues with decision making 9. Loss of interest in social activities 10. Mood and personality changes Additionally, Marin Home Care’s Director of Care Management, Caroline Glassell, notes there are other warning signs of Alzheimer's/Dementia that could manifest as wearing the same clothes for days, struggling with temperature (ie: when it’s summer out they want to dress for winter) and noticing new dents in the car (if they still drive) & having no recollection of how they may have gotten there. Marin Home Care proudly employs memory care professionals who have ample training and experience with memory loss, whether related to normal aging or dementia, and can help provide support where it is needed.

Marin Home Care would like to acknowledge our Caregiver of the Month for April 2021! Congratulations to Corazon De Guzman for her excellence in caregiving and always going above and beyond Corazon shared with us a bit about herself why she loves her job: ... "Hello my name is Corazon and I’ve been with Marin Home Care since April 2019. Prior to becoming a caregiver, I used to work for Bank of America in San Francisco for 20+ years. Unfortunately, they relocated our jobs to Arizona and unable to find another office job so I tried caregiving. I then realized that this is my calling. Being a caregiver can be demanding as you will have to be available for most of the day and night but it can also be very rewarding and gratifying because you are making a difference in someone’s life... I am happy to be part of the MHC Family for over 2 years now. " Thank you again for all you do, Corazon! We are grateful to have you on our team!
