Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month: How Home Organization and Photo Preservation Support Families Facing Memory Loss
June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness of dementia and memory loss, and to support families navigating these challenges. If you're caring for a parent or loved one with cognitive decline in southern Maine, creating a safe, simplified home environment can significantly reduce stress and risk.
As a professional home organizer and licensed occupational therapist in Maine, I specialize in helping older adults and their families create functional, clutter-free living spaces that promote safety, routine, and independence. Whether you’re preparing a home for aging in place or supporting a loved one with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, intentional organization can make a world of difference.
Why a Safe and Functional Home Matters for Brain Health
Cluttered and disorganized spaces can contribute to confusion, falls, and frustration—especially for individuals with memory challenges. By creating a clear, supportive home layout, families can improve daily functioning and reduce overwhelm for their loved ones.
My approach combines professional organizing services with my occupational therapy background to create:
Fall-prevention home layouts
Labeled storage systems that support memory recall
Accessible environments for seniors with mobility or cognitive issues
Decluttering support for adult children managing a parent’s home
This personalized, function-first organizing approach supports the health and dignity of the person living there—not just the appearance of the space.
Preserving Memories with Photo Organizing and Digitizing
In addition to home and office organizing, I also provide photo organizing and digitizing services in Southern Maine. Memory loss doesn’t just affect the present—it puts a family’s legacy at risk. Boxes of photos, children’s artwork, and family memorabilia often sit unsorted, with precious stories fading over time.
I help clients:
Gather and sort physical photos, documents, and keepsakes
Digitize collections for easy sharing and backup
Create digital archives, slideshows, or photo books for families and memory care
These projects are especially meaningful for families supporting a loved one with Alzheimer’s. Preserving their stories while they can still be shared is one of the most valuable things we can do.
