Continued education isn’t just a certificate on the wall…it’s the secret ingredient that changes everything at the table. 🍽️💖
When we truly understand how dementia reshapes the dining experience, we stop fighting the meal and start savoring the moment. Less stress. More joy. More peace. More comfort.
That’s why Dining with Dementia: Uncovering the Secret Sauce was created! 🤗
I am so incredibly grateful for my partner Aaron Fish of Trestle Hospitality. Aaron, you saw the vision and jumped in with both feet. Together, we built a CEU course for pros—and now, an extension for families—so everyone can understand what’s really happening at mealtime and how to make it better for all of us.
Sending massive THANK YOU to our family night sponsors: Home Instead, the Alzheimer’s Association of Nebraska, Radical Sabbatical, The Move Coordinators, EverBlessed Nursing & Transport, and Heritage Pointe Omaha – you showed up and believed in us.
Now let me get real about Michele Magner of Inspired Caring. 🫶🏻
Michele, my sweet friend…this event couldn’t happen without you. Period. You didn’t just make it happen but you showed up with your whole heart, your wisdom, and your relentless “let’s make it happen” energy and for that I cannot thank you enough! You help families find connection, build community, and turn hard conversations into bridges between loved ones and staff. Everyone needs Inspired Caring. And everyone needs a Michele in their corner. I am so honored to do this work alongside you.
And can we talk about Heritage Point in Omaha? Not only did they say yes to sponsoring our event, but they hosted us so beautifully. The welcoming, the collaborative spirit and the intentional details…Heritage Point, we are so impressed by you and so grateful.
To every human who took time out of their day to show up, Thank YOU!
Let’s keep learning. Let’s keep gathering at the table. More joy, more peace, more comfort-that’s the secret sauce. 🍽️🫶🏻✨
