Love is in the air!

Y ou’ve noticed some changes

in your thinking. Maybe you

misplace your keys often or have

trouble coming up with the right

word in conversations. How do

you know when these changes are

a “normal” part of getting older,

or if they might point to a health

problem, such as dementia?

How the Brain Typically Ages

As you age, your brain’s volume

gradually shrinks. When this

occurs, some of the nerve cells in

your brain can shrink or lose

connections with other nerve

cells.

In addition, blood flow within

your brain slows somewhat in old

age.

These age-related transitions are

thought to be behind the changes

in cognitive function many people

notice as they get older.

Everyone has lapses in memory

from time to time, but significant

memory loss is never a normal

part of old age. It’s important to

talk with your doctor if you or a

loved one is experiencing whose

memory loss and other cognitive

symptoms that are interfering

with your normal activities and

relationships.

How to Stay Mentally Sharp

High Maintenance

regularly, adjust

your thermostat to

the temperature

that is comfortable

for you, and let me

know if something is

not working in the

proper manner so I

can fix it as soon as

possible.

Also, I want to thank

you all for your

continued

cooperation with fire

drills, it is important

that we all do our part

to stay safe! Remember,

stay in your room until

someone comes to get

you, and when the

alarm goes off, the drill

is over!

Stay warm!

-Todd, Director of

Maintenance

It is always good to

try to maintain our

building as best as

we can...including

our apartments! In

order to make sure

everything is

functioning

properly, make sure

we are running the

garbage disposal

once a month if you

do not use it

IN2L One morning Emma woke up with a start. Her hus-band Jim asked what was the matter, she told him, “I just had a dream that you gave me a pearl neck-lace for Valentine’s day. What do you think it means?”

“You’ll know tonight,” Jim said.

That evening, Jim came home with a small package

and gave it to his wife. Delighted, Emma opened it –

only to find a book entitled “The meaning of

dreams”.
