Holiday Greetings From

Robert Zabbia President, Massapequa Chamber of Commerce December 2023, The Massapequa Chamber of Commerce has been very busy these past few months, with our successful and well-attended Christmas Tree and Menorah Lighting Ceremony and Holiday Fair this month, along with the success fo our annual Food and Toys for Tots collection drives, and the proud re-launch of Operation Safe Spot this past November.

Same Location For Over 22 Years!

Safe Spot is a way for our local businesses to let the community know that we are here to help when they are in need. The Massapequa Chamber of Commerce, with support from the Town of Oyster Bay and the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, is proud to re-launch the Safe Spot Campaign. With the help of Drug Free Long Island, we will provide training to businesses to aid residents in emergency situations and also connect them to lifesaving resources. All businesses will receive a Safe Spot sign indicating that they are go-to spots for residents seeking assistance in emergency situations. Each sign also displays a QR code linked to contact information for the Nassau County Police Department 7th Precinct and the Nassau County Crime Stoppers anonymous text line. The participating businesses will also receive a First Aid and Narcan kit with complimentary Narcan training courtesy of Drug Free Long Island.

Alzheimer’s Foundation Of America Offers Tips For Families Caring For A Loved One With Dementia cause disorientation, which may then lead to wandering. Be aware of safety issues: fragile decorations can shatter into sharp fragments and decorations that look like food or candy could be mistaken for edible treats, creating a choking or dental hazard. Do: Adapt past favorite traditions or create new and viable ones. Build on old traditions when appropriate, such as enjoying favorite music or movies, or looking at pictures of past holiday celebrations. Adapt past traditions as well; if the person always sent out holiday cards or baked holiday cookies and still wants to do so, do it together with them. If they can no longer shop for gifts for their loved ones, invite them to help with wrapping the gifts so that they feel involved. Start new traditions that center on activities and events the person enjoys and can do, such as touring neighborhood holiday lights; plan to do it together. Whenever possible, ask what traditions are important to your loved one—it keeps them engaged, and helps you prioritize and plan appropriately. Don’t: Dwell on past practices. Take a strengths-based and person-centered approach and incorporate what the person can do and what they choose to do now, rather than dwelling on what they used to do. Focus on those things that bring joy and let go of activities that seem too stressful. It is normal to feel some sadness about changes and losses, especially during a holiday. Acknowledge these feelings and then

move on to new ways to celebrate. Do: Create a safe and calm space. Create a space where your loved one can sit comfortably during a holiday gathering, and where guests can visit in small groups or oneto-one. To the greatest extent possible, maintain the person’s normal routine when scheduling visits or holiday gatherings; disruptions in routine can be difficult for someone living with dementia. Don’t: Neglect safety. Be very mindful of potential tripping hazards on the floor, such as wires for decorations, as dementia can cause changes in vision, depth perception, and gait. Securely hook Christmas trees to the wall to avoid falls and use menorahs or kinaras with electric candles to reduce fire hazards. Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common form of dementia, affects more than 6.2 million Americans. The number of people in the US with Alzheimer’s disease is expected to more than double by 2060, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The AFA Helpline is available seven days a week to help provide additional information about creating dementiafriendly holidays or any other caregiving questions. Connect with a licensed social worker by phone (866-232-8484), webchat (www.alzfdn. org) or text message (646586-5283). The web chat and text message features can serve individuals in more than 90 different languages.

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and his colleagues on the Town Board recently honored Anthony D’Alessandro, of Massapequa, who along with his mother Allison, founded an initiative known as “Operation Hat Drop” following Anthony’s diagnosis with alopecia at the age of 5. Operation Hat Drop has accumulated more than 1,200 hats to date, and is partnering with the organization Children with Hair Loss (CWHL) to donate hats and wigs to children suffering from

hair loss due to cancer, alopecia, and other causes. “Anthony is a brave young boy, who in the face of incredible adversity, decided to make a positive difference in the lives of other children who also suffer from hair loss, in addition to spreading awareness and social acceptance about this condition,” said Supervisor Saladino. “It is clear he is his mother’s son as Allison has shown great strength not just through Anthony’s alopecia diagnosis, but also her youngest son Jon’s diagnosis with a

rare congenital heart defect, choosing to spread kindness and give back to others in need.” Anthony has been given hats by many law enforcement and first responder agencies, as well as local small businesses, family, friends and individuals from all across the country. Anyone interested in sending Anthony a *NEW* hat and help be the reason he, or another child who suffers from hair loss smiles, please visit Operation.Hat. Drop on Instagram.

With the holiday season in full swing, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA) is offering tips to help the millions of Americans caring for a loved one with dementia celebrate the holidays with their loved one in a dementiafriendly manner. “People with dementia can still, and should be encouraged to, enjoy and participate in the spirit of the holiday season. Because of the way dementia-related illnesses impact the brain, they may not be able to do it exactly as they did prior to the onset of dementia,” said Jennifer Reeder, LCSW, AFA’s Director of Educational and Social Services. “By being adaptable and sensitive to the person’s needs and wishes, caregivers can help create a joyous, dementia-friendly holiday season for their loved one with dementia.” AFA offers these dos and don’ts for creating a dementia-friendly holiday season: Do: Keep decorations simple. Decorating is part of the holiday season fun, however, too much stimulation may be challenging for someone with dementia. Keep decorations festive, but simple. Instead of elaborate decorations, choose a few favorite items. Phase in decorations over a period of days so that changes to the person’s environment are less confusing. Don’t: Overdecorate or use dangerous decorations. Too many flickering lights or noisy items could overwhelm someone living with dementia. Changes to the person’s environment might
