    TITLE: These blood thinners may have an unexpected benefit for Alzheimer’s patients

    URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2026

    Newer blood thinners may do more than prevent strokes in people with Alzheimer’s disease and atrial fibrillation. Researchers found that patients taking NOACs experienced a slower decline in cognitive function than those using warfarin or no blood thinners. The effect was modest each year but could add up over time.

  22. Someone I know is taking the lock from their side gate into the locksmith to get it keyed.
    And they'll phone the Australian National Dementia Helpline and ask about the legalities of locking doors & gates to stop an elderly person putting themself in grave danger.

    They're not feeling good.

    I'm thinking that being prevented from going out into the world is a significant change.
    It could be put into an Advanced Care Directive.

    I'd have thought this was a silly joke.

    But they're serious.

    "Trusted partners" - I'm seeing anyone proposing that they'll release medical and private data to anonymous others as inherently untrustworthy.

    A deal killer in my evaluation.

  38. Porthcawl dementia care home sold for first time in 36 years

    Pinehurst Rest Home, a boutique residential dementia care home in Porthcawl, has been sold for the first time in its 36-year history.

    The home, which is registered for up to 11 residents, was established in 1989 by Patricia Attwood and passed to her daughter, Alexandra Crane, in 2004. Ms Crane has now decided to sell the business and retire.

    Following a confidential sales process, the home has been sold to Mani Neelamegan and Dr Muthuvairavan, an experienced operator with two other homes in South Wales, Manorleigh House and Fairleigh House.

    Alexandra Crane, the former owner, said: “I am incredibly proud to have followed in my mum’s footsteps and continued her legacy of compassion, respect, dedication, and commitment to every resident who has lived here. I am confident that the new owners are equally committed to ensuring the home continues to thrive, while preserving the small, homely environment that has always made Pinehurst special.”

    New owner Mani Neelamegan commented: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Pinehurst Rest Home into our family of care homes. Pinehurst has a strong reputation within the Porthcawl community, and we are committed to building on the excellent foundations already in place. Our focus has always been on providing compassionate, person-centred care in a safe and homely environment.”

    The sale was handled by specialist business property adviser Christie & Co, with funding sourced through Christie Finance. The sale price was undisclosed.

  43. And I hear the facility is planning on stopping the new locked-ward resident having a mobile phone.

    These day's removing a person's mobile phone looks like acting to socially isolate them.

    This does not appear to be consistent with maintaining existing skills nor with supporting the resident in maintaining friendships & relationships.

    Both of these are, AIUI, effective in slowing the progression of dementia.

  47. Today’s small moment: while browsing Amazon for games and puzzles suited for someone with dementia, I stumbled across Rack-O — the classic “rack ’em & score” card game.

    Instantly transported back to the 1970s, when my friends and I played it endlessly. We absolutely loved that game, and seeing it again brought a simple, unexpected smile.
