Embracing Alzheimer’s and Memory Care Awareness Month

2 June 2025

Assisted Living & Memory Care in Canton GA  
Embracing Alzheimer’s and Memory Care Awareness Month - Canton, GA

June is Alzheimer’s and Memory Care Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing understanding, compassion, and support for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. Here at Manor Lake BridgeMill Assisted Living and Memory Care in Canton, GA, we’re committed to doubling our efforts this month to raise awareness and encourage early recognition of the signs of Alzheimer’s. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve quality of life—for both those living with the disease and their caregivers.

How You Can Make a Difference

We encourage you to take this time to:

  • Start the conversation. Don’t shy away from discussing Alzheimer’s and memory care. The more we talk, the more we learn—and the more support we can offer one another.

  • Share your story. If you’re a caregiver or have a loved one affected by dementia, your journey can be a beacon for others. Let your experience inspire and comfort those walking a similar path.

  • Listen and learn. Hearing the stories of others can offer insight, strength, and a sense of community. Let’s grow together in knowledge and compassion.

  • Educate yourself. The more informed you are, the better you can care for your loved ones. Our Manor Lake blog is one of many great resources designed to support and guide you.

Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s is a progressive, irreversible brain disorder that gradually impairs memory, reasoning, and the ability to perform daily tasks. Over time, it leads to the need for full-time care.

Although the exact causes of Alzheimer’s remain unclear, research points to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While risk factors like age, family history, and heredity cannot be changed, emerging studies suggest that others—such as diet, exercise, and mental engagement—may be within our control.

Today, an estimated 6.5 million Americans of all ages live with Alzheimer’s.

See the Signs. Start a Conversation.

We know it can be uncomfortable to talk about Alzheimer's disease—but starting the conversation early is one of the best things you can do. The disease progresses over time, which means the challenges will increase. Our goal is to help you prepare—emotionally, physically, and mentally—so both you and your loved one can maintain the highest possible quality of life throughout the journey.

You’re Not Alone—We’re Here for You

Whether you’re part of our Canton community, a loved one’s family member, or a dedicated at-home caregiver, we consider you family. We're honored to support you with the same compassion, skill, and dedication we would give our own loved ones.

Together, let’s raise awareness, spread understanding, and provide loving, informed care for those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
