Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month: Small Supports, Big Difference

June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness, honor caregivers, and spotlight the tools and strategies that help people living with neurological conditions maintain dignity and independence.

The Everyday Impact of Brain Change

Cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or stroke don’t just affect memory. They can reshape how we move, communicate, and interact with our environment.

For many people living with Alzheimer’s or brain-related conditions, challenges include:

  • Difficulty with dressing or grooming

  • Increased fall risk due to balance issues

  • Frustration with daily routines

  • Reliance on caregivers for basic tasks

That’s where supportive tools and smart routines make all the difference.

Simple Tools = Empowering Solutions

At OnMyOwn Solutions, we believe practical tools create powerful outcomes:

  • The MyLEDA dressing aid helps people maintain independence in lower-body dressing, reducing caregiver strain and patient frustration.

  • The Solutions for Living Life Well with a Disability book offers over 150 practical tips for mobility, memory support, and daily living. From DIY home adaptations to emotional encouragement, it’s written from experience — and with dignity at the core.

Empowering Caregivers, Too

Behind every person navigating Alzheimer’s or brain-related changes is often a family caregiver—doing their best, often without rest. This month, let’s recognize them too. Small changes like grab bars, adaptive tools, and step-by-step routines make life better for everyone involved.

💜 Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month reminds us: care is not just about treatment — it’s about support.
