June Is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month

At Ruby Slippers Home Care, we believe awareness is the first step toward compassionate care. June marks Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, other forms of dementia, and the importance of brain health—especially among the aging population.

Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It’s the most common cause of dementia, impacting over 6 million Americans today. Symptoms may begin with mild memory loss but can eventually interfere with daily life and independence.

While there is currently no cure, early diagnosis and appropriate care can improve quality of life and slow the progression of symptoms.

The Importance of Brain Awareness

During Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, we’re encouraged to:

  • Recognize the signs of cognitive decline.

  • Support caregivers and families navigating the disease.

  • Engage in brain-healthy habits such as staying active, eating a nutritious diet, and staying socially connected.

Raising awareness isn't just about the disease itself—it’s also about building empathy and support for those who live with it daily.
