Navigating Through the Holidays

Leah Daly, MPH, CHES

Holidays can be joyous, but they can also be challenging for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other neurodegenerative diseases. Changes in routine, like children Trick-or-Treating or fireworks on the 4th of July, can be disorienting. This presentation will cover common U.S. holidays and their impact on those with neurodegenerative diseases, along with potential triggers, and how to adapt celebrations to better suit their needs. Remember, while celebrations may change, they can still be special and enjoyable.
