Community Outreach Manager Natalee Price was out connecting at the Empowered Aging Senior Resource Fair in Fair Oaks! 💚

Events like this give us the opportunity to meet the people and organizations serving local seniors, learn more about the resources available to families, and build relationships that help us better connect people with the support they need.

Thank you to the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce for bringing so many community resources together, and to all of the participating vendors and organizations for the conversations, information and connections!

We’re proud to be part of a community working together to help older adults live well. 💚

Repetition can be hard for everyone involved. 💜

For someone living with dementia, a repeated question may not feel repeated at all. They may not remember asking, or they may still be looking for reassurance, connection or a sense of security.

When you can, try responding to the person and the need in that moment, rather than focusing on how many times you’ve answered.

And caregivers: compassion includes you, too. Patience can be hard when you’re tired. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s understanding what the moment may feel like from both sides. 💚

Familiar routines can bring a sense of comfort and stability when the world starts to feel less predictable. 💚

For someone living with dementia, familiar rhythms, waking up around the same time, regular meals, favorite activities and a consistent bedtime routine, can make the day easier to navigate.

Routine doesn’t have to mean rigid. There’s still room for flexibility, choice and joy. It’s about creating familiarity in a world that may sometimes feel uncertain.

Sometimes support is simply making today feel a little more familiar. 💜

Dementia isn’t only about memory. 💜

Changes can also show up in language, judgment, planning, navigation and mood. These changes may look different from person to person.

One change by itself doesn’t necessarily mean dementia. What matters is noticing new or increasing changes that begin interfering with everyday life and talking with a healthcare professional when something doesn’t seem right.
Understanding what to look for can help families ask questions sooner, because the earlier you know, the more you can do. 💜

🥚 Nourishing Care • Tip #1

Sometimes better nutrition doesn’t mean serving more food, it means making familiar foods work a little harder.

Adding 3 tablespoons of cottage cheese to 2 scrambled eggs adds about 5 grams of protein and makes the eggs soft and creamy.

Same familiar breakfast. More nutrition. 💚
