It’s more important than ever to do all we can to protect the ones we love. Most flu related hospitalizations and deaths happen in those 65 and older. Getting your flu vaccine can help protect you, your loved ones and our community. The CDC recommends September and October as the best time to get vaccinated.

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia can be a long, stressful, and intensely emotional journey. But you’re not alone.
In the United States, there are more than 16 million people caring for someone with dementia—and many millions more around the world. As there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s or dementia—and only limited medical treatments available for the symptoms—it is your caregiving that can make the biggest difference to your loved one’s quality of life. That is a remarkable gift.
However, caregiving can also become all-consuming. As your loved one’s cognitive, physical, and functional abilities diminish over a period of years, it’s easy to become overwhelmed and neglect your own health and well-being. The burden of caregiving can put you at increased risk for significant health problems and many dementia caregivers experience depression, high levels of stress, or burnout. And nearly all Alzheimer’s or dementia caregivers at some time experience sadness, anxiety, loneliness, and exhaustion. Seeking help and support along the way is not a luxury; it’s a necessity.

To help raise #HospiceAwareness during National Hospice & Palliative Care Month, we’ve created this “Friday FAQ’s” series. Here we’ll address some of the most common questions we get when speaking about hospice & palliative care. Today, we start at the beginning, “What is hospice care?”
We know if you’re considering hospice for yourself, or a loved one, it can be overwhelming, and you may have many questions. We’re here to help...you don’t have to do this alone.

In honor of Hospice & Palliative Month, we’ve asked our team to share what hospice means to them. Today we feature Sadie, one of our amazing Community Liaisons.
When choosing hospice, we are choosing to focus the time we have on the quality of our life...spending our time with those we cherish most, doing the things that matter most, being as comfortable as possible, in whatever time we have remaining on this earth. The quality of our life takes priority over the quantity of our days.
If you would like information on how hospice can help you or a loved one improve the quality of your life, please visit www.compassioncarenevada.com.

Each one of us have had different circumstances and challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is true for our CCH team, too.
We asked “What are you doing to stay positive and focused on the good, ANYWAY”? We wanted to share their messages of hope & encouragement with all of you. Remember, you are not alone, we are all in this together. ❤️
Today’s message comes from Donnabelle Logan, one of our amazing Community Liaisons, who aims to be an inspiration to others every day, anyway!
