50 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JANUARY 2018 | I wish each and every one of you a happy and healthy 2018. We don't know what this year will bring, but I hope and pray that we have the patience and knowledge to cope with whatever is thrown our way, and that we find time to enjoy all the good stuff. If you or a loved one is living with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), any form of Dementia or Alzheimer's disease, we are here to help. We have monthly meetings, sometimes with a guest speaker who shares valuable information and we also have a support group each month. During the meeting and support group we offer games, entertainment and care for your loved one that you don't want to leave at home alone. You can relax at the meeting and know that your loved one is well taken care of in the Arts and Crafts Room by our very loving and capable volunteers. We welcome ALL caregivers. Our next meeting is Thurs., Jan. 18 at 10 am in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. There is no guest speaker this month. This will give you more time for the support group. Remember even if you have lost your loved one, you can come to the support group. Also note on our calendar this year that there are two bereavement groups in Beaumont. We are here to support and educate you, as well as entertain your loved one while you are attending the meeting. Take advantage of all we have to offer. 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. Continuing with 50 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE here are #'s 4, 5, and 6 4. There are medications that may help ease some of the symptoms. 5. No one knows what causes Alzheimer's disease. 6. A family history of Alzheimer's can be a risk factor for developing the disease. Memory Care Group The Sun Lakes Computer Club will be meeting Jan. 4 and 18 at 12 pm in the South Clubhouse. Meetings are held on the first and third Thursday of each month. Our summer meetings (July, August, and September) are held only on the third Thursday of these months.
