Celebrating the Fourth of July in
Memory Care
Love Honor Provide
by Brooke DeNisco
Many holidays are a mixed blessing in memory care communities. Plenty of people with memory loss still
remember holidays and enjoy the special events and decorations that go with them. Others can feel over-
whelmed and displaced. Social distancing and other safety measures will likely be in place on this July 4, so
it is likely to be more “low-key” than usual. Here are some other things to keep in mind for the holiday.
Decorations
Put up the red, white, and blue streamers and flags no earlier than July 3, and take them down no later than
July 5. People with memory loss are often looking to the environment for clues. If they see American flags
and red, white, and blue bunting, there is a good chance they’ll recognize it’s the Fourth of July. If it’s actual-
ly only July 1, you’ll spend many days explaining that July 4 is in a few days. Correcting people and telling
them that what they are observing in their environment is not accurate is easy to avoid by keeping decora-
tions brief.
Anxiety and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Approximately one in five veterans suffers from PTSD. As more veterans of the Korean and Vietnam Wars
enter old age, the percentage will likely rise. Whether someone has PTSD or not, the loud, gun-like sound of
fireworks can be very startling, especially when they are at random intervals. Keep the windows closed and
play some music if people in the neighborhood are setting off firecrackers or fireworks.
Display images of fireworks or live firework shows on your community television(s). A visual allows people to as-
sociate the sounds they hear with a picture of something that is non-threatening and even enjoyable to watch.
PBS broadcasts and streams fireworks from several locations. Their website also includes quizzes, trivia, and
behind-the-scenes extras from fireworks displays. The Macy’s fireworks in New York City (still taking place this
year) are on TV at 8 p.m. EDT (or 5 p.m. PDT) on the Fourth. There are plenty of DVDs featuring fireworks and
music and free streaming sources.
Routine

Staying Active Promotes Independence
Regular exercise can help seniors remain healthier and more independent as they
age. Studies have shown that seniors who exercise regularly have longer life
expectancies, remain independent longer, and improve both physically and psy-
chologically.
Balance decreases as we age, and more importantly, falling is a major problem.
According to the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one of
every three Americans over the age of 65 falls each year, and among individuals
65-84, falls account for 87% of all fractures and are
the second leading cause of spinal cord and brain
injuries. Many seniors believe that walking is
enough exercise to stay fit and healthy but, accord-
ing to Dr. Robert Sweezy, renowned osteoporosis
expert, walking is not enough to increase muscle
and bone density, a key component in remaining
SAN JOSE
independent.
“Movement is a medicine for creating change in a person’s physical,
emotional, and mental states.” ~ Carol Welch
The Live 2B Healthy program is proven to increase balance, mobility and strength
- directly reducing falls and injuries that could hamper senior mobility and hasten
health decline. That keeps seniors vital and independent for much longer allowing
them to participate in the activities they truly enjoy.
In fitness tests, after working with participants for three months, balance had
improved by over 250% and cardiovascular function by over 80% by doing
regular strength training, three times per week. Regular exercise keeps seniors
independent by improving their balance and endurance to prevent falls, injuries,
as well as physical and cognitive decline. It’s never too late to start an exercise
regimen and get moving. Many seniors in their eighties and nineties who have
never exercised in their lives are now enjoying the benefits of participating in Live
2B Healthy’s fitness program.
Live 2B Healthy is coming soon to Carlton Senior Living Orangevale!
