Support for Carers & Families 🌿 World Alzheimer’s Month is also about recognising the carers and families who give so much of themselves. Here are three supportive steps for carers: ✨ Join a group – Shared experience brings strength and understanding. ✨ Take short breaks – Rest helps maintain energy and resilience. ✨ Seek guidance – Trusted organisations can offer tools and advice. At KNA, we’re here to provide companionship visits, lifts, and practical support — so no one feels alone.
