Virginia's DMV service centers will be closed for two days this week due to the Christmas holiday. The DMV says service centers around the state will be closed tomorrow and Wednesday. Normal hours will resume on Thursday. Service centers will also be closed next Wednesday for New Year's Day.
The Alzheimer's Association is offering tips this holiday season to help the Virginia caretakers and the millions of Americans living with the disease. Spokesperson Alaina Nathan suggests moving Christmas dinner to Christmas lunch to avoid sundowning, and changing up gift giving by finding appropriate, safe but enjoyable presents like music or family photo albums. She notes folks can call the association's 24/7 helpline year around to speak to master level clinicians that offer all kinds of support. Stats show there are about seven-million Americans living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
