⭐️ Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospital admissions for older adults.


⭐️ People living with dementia are twice as likely to experience falls due to changes in memory, balance, and mobility.

Tuesday Dementia Training with Occupational Therapist Bre’anna Wilson, OTR - Dr Mike Chua How do we take care of our loved ones with Alzheimer’s and Dementia?

As our valued supporters, it's crucial for us to inform you of an important decision we've made at Bambu Care.

At Bambu Care, our core mission has always been to provide quality education, invaluable resources, and unwavering support to dementia caregivers worldwide. This mission remains our top priority, and we are fully committed to continuing this important work.

In light of this commitment, we've made the decision to shift our focus away from Facebook. While we've appreciated your support on this platform, we believe that directing our efforts towards platforms where we can have the most impact is the best way to serve our community effectively.

Rest assured, this change does not signal an end to Bambu Care. On the contrary, we are more dedicated than ever to providing you with the resources and support you need. You can still access all our valuable content, updates, and resources through our website, newsletter, YouTube channel, and podcast. ( letsbambu.com/b/linktree )

Your support on Facebook has meant the world to us, and we are immensely grateful for it. As we navigate this transition, we ask for your continued support and understanding. Together, we will continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those impacted by dementia — everywhere.

With heartfelt thanks,

Bre'anna Wilson
