@IRememberBetter @creativitycare @nursesKidONE @bethyb1886 @UnicornSpark @MyCareMatters @artsaging @THEVDOVault #AlzChat My love and I were so fortunate to learn Brain Health recommendations, However, getting a diagnosis was challenging. We saw NINE doctors, before being referred to an outstanding neurologist, who mandated, “Learning something new, exercise, socialization, The MIND DIET.”
A fabulous opportunity to work at a super #carehome in #Coventry that I’ve worked with! #socialcare #recruitment #workforce
