Back-to-school season often means a return to busy schedules, full calendars, and new routines. And for many families, it can also bring a realization: Mom or Dad may need more support than they used to.

Maybe you’ve noticed changes like difficulty keeping up with the house, changes in driving, or everyday tasks becoming harder. Knowing what’s simply part of aging, and what may be a sign that it’s time for additional support, isn’t always easy.

At Touchmark, we’ve spent decades helping older adults and their families navigate these questions. Our latest guide, linked below, shares practical information to help families.

It’s never too late to check in, pay attention to changes, and start the conversation.

Meet the Nistlers 💚

Through their generosity, vision, and unwavering commitment to education, Werner and Colleen Nistler helped launch a new era for the Nistler College of Business & Public Administration.

From humble beginnings in North Dakota to building a legacy of leadership, innovation, and service, their story reflects the values we strive to instill in every student—hard work, integrity, and a passion for making a difference.

Their impact continues to shape our college, our students, and the future of business education at UND.

Doing what you love can make a real difference.

This year, Touchmark residents, team members, families, and local supporters came together through concerts, car shows, festivals, fitness challenges, charity dinners, walks, and so much more—all to support the Alzheimer's Association.

Together, our communities raised an incredible $139,120 to help advance Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Every event reflected the creativity, generosity, and compassion that make each Touchmark community unique.

Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and cheered us on. Your support is helping bring hope to families affected by Alzheimer's disease.

Happy National Friendship Day!

Today, we're celebrating the friendships that make life richer—whether they're brand new, decades old, or unexpectedly rekindled.

Residents Dan Kelly and Terry Anderson were childhood best friends before life took them in different directions. They hadn't seen each other since they were 19 years old.

Then, 70 years later, they stepped into the same elevator at Touchmark—completely unaware they lived just one floor apart.

Today, they're sharing memories, making new ones, and even planning a trip to Portugal together with fellow Touchmark residents next year.

Their story is extraordinary—but the friendships formed at Touchmark happen every day. Whether it's reconnecting with a lifelong friend, meeting a neighbor who quickly becomes family, or discovering someone who inspires you, meaningful connections are the spice of life here.

Happy National Friendship Day from all of us at Touchmark!
