Honoring Memory Day with Melody Living’s Memory Care Facility

March 21st is Memory Day
Join us in recognizing the beauty of memory while also raising awareness of memory loss afflictions such as dementia and Alzheimer’s.
 
Taking time to consider the overall wellness  of your or your loved ones’ memory health can help to prevent late diagnoses and take preventative measures to aid in slowing memory loss progression. Early diagnoses can ensure you and your loved ones are prepared and know all of your options when looking for possible memory care programs in the future. 

 
Early symptoms to look out for:

• Forgetting recent event and conversations
• Out of the ordinary behavior
• Forgetting names of people, places, or items
• Misplacing items frequently
• Repeatedly asking questions that have already been answered

Random bouts of confusions
