Here is one most families never hear from the doctor.

Alcohol hits the hippocampus, the part of the brain where memory is made. For someone living with dementia, that means two things: the symptoms show up harder, and the disease moves faster.

It is not about judgment. It is about giving your loved one the best possible path.

Kristy Blocker is a geriatric specialist who builds lifestyle care plans for families in Placer County and beyond. If you have questions about a diagnosis, reach out. We are here to help.

Happy National Dog Day!
Today we celebrate the unconditional love, comfort, and joy that dogs bring into our lives, especially for those living with dementia.

Studies show that time spent with dogs can ease anxiety, reduce loneliness, and spark joyful memories. Whether it’s a gentle nudge, a wagging tail, or a calm presence, dogs have a special way of reaching hearts when words fall short.

Do you have a special pup in your life or your loved one’s life? Share a photo and a memory in the comments. We’d love to see the furry friends who bring smiles and comfort to your world.

Dementia may change parts of a person’s life, but it does not erase their worth, their history, or the person they have always been.

A career. A family. Favorite songs. Inside jokes. Traditions. Passions. A thousand little moments that made them who they are.

We believe meaningful dementia care starts with seeing the person first; understanding who they are, what matters to them, and what makes them feel safe and valued.

Their story is unique. Their care should be, too. Give us a call at 866-689-5413.

When dementia changes behavior, it can be confusing and exhausting.

Repeating questions. Irritability. Withdrawal. Resistance.

These behaviors are often symptoms of the disease, not intentional actions. New research is exploring better ways to help caregivers understand and respond to them. You don't have to figure it out alone.

We provide specialized dementia assessment, guidance and placement support for families navigating these difficult changes. 📞 Contact us at 866-689-5413 to learn how we can help.

Did you know?

The World Health Organization recently updated its dementia prevention guidelines, sharing that up to 45% of dementia cases may be preventable or delayed by addressing factors like hearing loss, high blood pressure, diabetes, physical inactivity, smoking, and social isolation.

While there isn't a cure for dementia, every step toward better brain health matters. Staying active, connected, and managing your overall health can make a meaningful difference.

If you have concerns about memory changes in yourself or a loved one, don't wait to ask questions. Early support can make all the difference. Call us at 866-689-5413.
