June is Alzheimer's Awareness month. Know the signs. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1D7LQZ5YRA/

June is Alzheimer's Awareness Month 💜

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting millions of older adults and the families and caregivers who support them.

For those working in Adult Protective Services, understanding the intersection of cognitive decline and vulnerability is critical. Individuals living with Alzheimer's and related dementias can face heightened risks of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This underscores the importance of awareness and early intervention more than ever.

Throughout June, NAPSA remains committed to equipping professionals with the knowledge and tools to protect and support our most vulnerable adults.

🟣 Wear purple this month to show your support for the Alzheimer's community!
