As the Christmas holidays approach, many of you will be traveling to spend some quality time with your folks. And while this time will hopefully be filled with shared stories and feasting, you could find your quality time raising questions about your parent’s mental health. Being that National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month is drawing to a close, we at Transitions, Making Moves Manageable think it’s a good idea to draw attention to some of the signs that could point to your parent developing Alzheimer’s.

We’ve run across it time and time again. During the downsizing aspect of a move, we identify certain valuables that a client would like to sell, which is great. The more stuff you get rid of, the more space you’ll have, the simpler life will be. Not to mention, it’s a great way to bring in some extra money.

What we have greater control of is what happens inside of us. We can control our feelings…our outlook. Having said that, here at Transitions, Making Moves Manageable we like the idea of staying young at heart. With that in mind, here are a few ways we have found to achieve that goal:
