While we all look forward to spending quality time with family and friends during the holiday season, it can be an overwhelming time for many – and even more so for people with dementia and their care partners. You are not alone. The Alzheimer Society is ready to offer support, guidance and a compassionate ear to help families navigate through difficult times.

Holiday Gift Idea: Winter Eyewear
For those interested in skiing or snowboarding, eye protection can make a great thoughtful gift! Consider protection from ultraviolet rays, glare, and wind. Special filters and anti-glare coatings in a wraparound design with specific venting to prevent fogging are all great options. Cross country skiers, outdoor family leisure activities and dedicated outdoor walkers can choose from a variety of brand names and styles. Some even have interchangeable lenses designed for different altitudes, terrain, and light conditions to protect the cornea, intraocular lens and retina. In many cases, prescription lenses are available. Check with your Optometrist for that special Christmas eyewear gift!

Celebrate holidays confidently with dentures, embracing festive moments with a big smile. Indulge in your favorite holiday feasts with proper fitted dentures. Remember to maintain good oral hygiene and keep your dentures in optimal condition throughout the holidays. Whether it’s sharing laughter, enjoying special treats, or engaging in family traditions, your dentures should enhance, not hinder, the joy of the season. With a secure fit and proper care, you can savor the flavors of the holidays, ensuring that every bite is a delightful part of your festive celebrations.

Preparing for your Quit Date
A new year is upon us, which makes it a great time to quit smoking. A little preparation can go a long way in ensuring your success. When planning your quit date, it’s helpful to remind yourself of the reasons you want to do this in the first place. There are major reasons to quit, such as reducing your risk for disease and cancer. What are your other reasons? Write down your top 10. Before your quit day, you may want to think of rewards you can give yourself, as well as activities which you can turn to if cravings get bad. Studies tell us that psychological preparation plays a large role in the likelihood of success with smoking cessation.
