Many older adults carry life histories marked by trauma, whether from wartime experiences, abusive relationships, medical emergencies, or even childhood adversity. Dementia can blur the line between past and present, and what may seem like a small incident to a care partner can awaken a deep sense of fear or mistrust in the person receiving care.

In today’s workplace, one word continues to stand out in conversations about employee well-being: “presenteeism.” It describes employees who show up for work physically but are distracted mentally, often because of caregiving responsibilities at home. While absenteeism is easy to measure, presenteeism quietly chips away at productivity and is often noticed first by the employee themselves.

As the senior population continues to grow, so does the number of scams targeting them. Fraudsters often view older adults as easy targets due to factors like social isolation, trust in authority figures, and in some cases, cognitive decline. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Americans aged 60 and older lose billions of dollars each year to scams. Staying informed is the first step to staying safe.

Through shared experiences and available support, both care partners and individuals with dementia can approach the future with hope and assurance. Engaging in sincere conversations cultivates an environment of strength, love, and resilience amidst challenges.
