Did you know that 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s? This startling number can make anyone anxious. If you have an older loved one who has expressed early signs of the disease or if your own parent has Alzheimer’s, it can be even more intimidating. That is precisely why The Pavilion is increasing education efforts for dementia-related illnesses. Fortunately, there are options for Alzheimer’s care and even steps for prevention!

Are you in assisted living in Tennessee? Do you know what a Solo Seniors is? Well, you could be one! A Solo Senior is an older adult who chose to lead a childfree life. Not being a mother or father can have benefits, such as more time for adventure! Another advantage is that your money and savings can be used solely for your needs or on your spouse’s needs. There are various other benefits to choosing to remain childless, and the number of individuals who chose this path has been on the rise.
