50 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | NOVEMBER 2017 |
This is the month that we celebrate Thanksgiving and we
give thanks for all that we have. I am thankful for this wonderful
community that we live in and all the wonderful people I have met in
our Memory Care Group.
Our next meeting and caregivers support group will be on Thurs.,
Nov. 16 at 10 am in the Multipurpose Room. There will be no guest
speaker this month. This will give you more time for the support
group. These meetings are not only educational for you the caregiver,
but are also a support group for you. ALL CAREGIVERS are welcome
at these meetings. If you are no longer a caregiver because your loved
one is living in a memory care facility, YOU NEED THIS SUPPORT
GROUP. This is another major change in your life and we are here
for you. Those of you who are caregivers do not have to be caring
for a person with Memory Loss to attend. We are here to support
and educate you, plus entertain your loved one while you attend the
meeting. During this time your loved ones are welcome in the Arts
and Craft Room for entertainment and fun activities. This month's
entertainment will be Valerie Hubbard. Thank you to Ray Rendon for
entertaining last month with his songs from the 40s and 50s. Mark
your calendar for our Holiday Luncheon Dec. 21 at Johnny Russo's.

If you have any questions and would like to learn more about
Memory Loss, we have reading material we can loan you. Call Diane,
769-0130 or Anne, 845-8700 — Remember, we are here to help.
If you or someone you care about is experiencing any of the 10
warning signs we have listed these past 10 months, please see a
doctor to find the cause. Early diagnosis gives you a chance to seek
treatment and plan for your future. The Alzheimer's Association can
help. Visit: alz.org/10signs or call 800-272-3900.
