Soleil Laurel Canyon Tucked away in the North Georgia foothills of Canton and just a short drive from exciting Atlanta, Soleil Laurel Canyon is more than a beautiful community of maintenance-free, ranchstyle homes and breathtaking views. It’s the lifestyle you’ve worked your whole life to enjoy. If you are 55+, we invite you to come experience Soleil’s incomparable array of recreation, culture, and entertainment for yourself. You’ll have no doubt why it was named among the Best 50 Master-Planned Communities in the U.S. by Where to Retire Magazine in 2015. “Clubhouses, fitness centers, social clubs and education classes mean residents get much more than a house at a

planned community,” said Karen Northridge, publisher of “Where to Retire.” One of the great pleasures of living at Soleil is that a low-maintenance home gives you the free time to take advantage of all that the community offers or take a trip without concern. The landscaped grounds of Soleil Laurel Canyon are always impeccably maintained, while your HOA dues cover complete lawn maintenance and an irrigation system, in-home security monitoring and maintenance, and even Comcast cable TV. Soleil Laurel Canyon offers a selection of Cottage, Traditional and Crafts-

man-style single-family homes from the mid $200,000s to $400,000s for adults 55+. Residents live independently in homes that range from 1,500 square feet to almost 3,000 square feet. All of Soleil’s new floor plans include elegant details and are designed for aging-inplace with stepless-entry access and wide doorways. These homes are energy efficient with HERS ratings above standard. Soleil residents have membership in a 28,000-square-foot clubhouse complete with an arts and crafts room, billiards room, fitness center, gourmet

teaching kitchen, indoor heated saline lap pool, and library. Outside the clubhouse, residents have a heated Lagoon-style pool, a community garden and greenhouse, a 3.5-acre fishing lake and the tennis facility with a full-time USPTA-certified teaching professional. The Fairways of Canton golf course is located just outside Soleil’s gate within Laurel Canyon, and offers challenging golf for a reasonable, daily-fee price. Two Lifestyle Directors maintain a full social calendar of events including wine socials, movie nights, trips to nearby attractions, and Grandkids day.

Don’t be embarrassed about Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s disease can be difficult for children, teens, even adults to understand. There will be times your grandma doesn’t seem like she used to be. Or without warning she may get confused, agitated or even angry to the point of accusing you of stealing. And it may happen when you are out in public, at church, the grocery store, or at a family gathering. Even though you know Alzheimer’s is the cause, it is common to be embarrassed about it. While you can’t stop behavior changes due to Alzheimer’s, there are tips to help you better manage the situation. Think About It from Their Perspective Alzheimer’s progressively destroys brain cells over time, so during the early stages many people living with the disease do recognize something is wrong. They may know they are supposed to recognize you, but they can’t. Imagine how frustrating and scary that would be. It is important to put yourself in their shoes and think about how you might react if your world suddenly didn’t make sense or you were in a position where you realized you should

know someone – even a close family member – but just couldn’t remember who they were or what they meant to you. Adjust Social Routines Everyone needs social interaction, even those living with memory loss. But as the disease progresses unfamiliar places and social interactions can become scary and more difficult to manage. Consider hosting the monthly family dinner at your house, or the home of a close friend instead of meeting at a new restaurant. Consider a familiar locale for the family vacation and stick to visiting favorite landmarks and attractions. While each day is different, through many stages of Alzheimer’s it is likely your loved one will feel more comforted and peaceful with the familiar vs. something new that might trigger fear or agitation. Have A Sense of Humor While Alzheimer’s and dementia are serious, as a family member or friend, keeping a sense of humor makes a big difference. Let’s face it, there are times you just have to find humor in the situation. It can lighten the mood not

only for yourself, but also for your family and your loved one suffering from memory loss. And don’t forget it is human nature to pick up on the emotions of others around you and this is no different for those living with memory loss. Getting embarrassed or anxious when grandma says the wrong thing can even make the situation worse as she picks up on your rising level of anxiety. Sometimes it is just best to whisper a quiet apology, laugh and move on. Don’t Argue Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that destroys memory. If someone can’t remember, recalls something differently, or is convinced the neighbor stole their favorite pen, don’t spend

time arguing or trying to convince them otherwise. Even if they end up agreeing with you today it is no guarantee they will remember it tomorrow. Instead try reassuring them or even asking questions about the memory they are recalling.

Accepting Patients Skin Cancer & Mohs Surgery • Medical Dermatology

PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY (PDT) :

Vein Care • Cosmetic Services

A blue stop sign for skin cancer It is often after a patient’s first Mohs surgery that I am asked a very important question: What can I do to prevent future skin cancer surgeries? Besides jumping into a DeLorean and convincing your TAYLOR adolescent self to use sunscreen and wear a hat, one of the best options for resolving much of your sun damage lies in none other than more exposure to light! But sun worshipers need not get too excited – this is not the light of more sun exposure or of indoor tanning beds but rather photodynamic therapy (nicknamed PDT or blue light therapy). The question of whether someone has skin cancer is not always black or white. Often, there are shades of gray. Yes, many moles are simply healthy, and a few other growths prove to be melanoma. However, for most people and for most concerning growths, skin cancers progress through early “precancerous” stages when they can be more easily treated and can be addressed non-invasively and non-surgically. Many squamous cell carcinomas begin as a “pre-cancer” called an actinic keratosis or “AK” – a rough or discolored area that usually arises in an area of sun-damaged or sun-exposed skin. Often, a heavily sun-damaged individual will have ten or twenty actinic keratoses. AK’s typically grow slowly with perhaps 1-2% progressing to skin cancer per year. To put it simply, if you have 10 AKs on your body, you have a 10%-20% chance per year that one will develop into a skin cancer. This slow growth rate means that there is time to treat AKs before they become skin cancer. If individuals with red or rough sun-damaged skin address their sun damage now, they will have less reason to regret their fun summer memories

later. Active individuals such as the residents of our area enjoy family time outdoors, golfing, going to the pool, and outdoor exercise. These minutes clocked under the sun add up. Luckily, a single PDT treatment can erase 75% of precancers in a single area in just one treatment. So what exactly is PDT? During PDT, a nurse or physician applies a liquid medicine called ALA to the area to be treated: often the face, scalp, neck or décolletage undergo therapy, but other areas such as the arms may also be treated. The ALA incubates and sits on the skin for one to four hours. ALA is absorbed by unhealthy cells during the incubation phase. A blue light specially designed to activate ALA is then applied for about fifteen minutes. Blue light of 410-420nm in wavelength activates the ALA, causing it to damage the unhealthy cells and allowing them to be eliminated and replaced by healthy skin. Blue light therapy is selective -- it causes the destruction of precancerous cells without significantly damaging surrounding healthy cells. After PDT treatment, a patient should completely avoid the sun for at least 48 hrs, as the treatment will mimic a moderate sunburn. It takes roughly 4-6 weeks for patients to see the overall improvement in their skin but depending on the degree of sun damage, the effects can be dramatic! An added benefit of PDT is an overall healthier complexion, more even skin tone, reduced acne (PDT treatments are also used for acne issues), and a more youthful appearance. Usually covered by insurance, PDT is an excellent treatment option for someone looking to eliminate pre-cancers and decrease the chances of future skin cancers. At Premier Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta, we are proud to offer BLU-U, the gold standard in PDT treatment.
