DECATUR, GA, December 23, 2021: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new article on the law firm’s website entitled “Holiday Tips For Celebrating With A Loved One Who Has Dementia/Alzheimer’s,” in which Ms. Pawley shares statistics, as well as tips based on her personal experience.

Also,” she states, “it is estimated that nearly 500,000 new cases of Alzheimer’s disease are diagnosed each year in the United States.” She continues adding, “Unfortunately, while Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, there are other kinds which bring the numbers of those suffering even higher. In the U.S. there are at least 5 million people living with age-related dementia.”

In the beginning,” she admits, “it took some getting used to, but now everyone in my family enjoys the holidays as much as ever just by incorporating some guidelines that serve to protect and consider mom’s specific needs.”

“At first,” says Pawley, “your family may feel a sense of loss for having to change traditional ways of celebrating. Believe me,” she adds, “making minor adjustments as you become more familiar with your loved one’s needs will bring more joy and will tap into your deepest reservoirs of love. And like anything else, practice makes perfect!”
