Sleeping more during the day or feeling restless at night can be part of the changes that come with dementia. Our new blog explains what families may notice and how familiar routines can support comfort and rest. Sudden sleep changes should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

When an older adult is facing cancer, there is much more to consider than the diagnosis alone.

Families and caregivers are invited to join us on September 29 for a free virtual educational session: “Eyes Wide Open: Important Considerations for Seniors Facing Cancer.”

Presented by Dr. Nick Schneeman, Geriatrician with Lifespark Medical Group, this webinar will explore:

• How a comprehensive geriatric assessment can help guide personalized care and treatment
• Important factors such as quality of life, frailty, other health conditions, decision-making capacity, and life expectancy
• How families, healthcare providers, and care teams can work together to support better outcomes

1. 2. 3. Smile! Today is National School Picture Day! And although our residents are not in school anymore, they sure love having their picture taken and a theme! So I set up some “school photo” lighting and a stool and we did our best to recreate some classic school photo poses. And our residents understood the assignment. No homework needed! So take a moment and thumb through the Boden Maplewood Yearbook!

We started installing shadow boxes for our residents to display whatever felt important to them. One of our residents loves to cross stitch. She put together such a lovely arrangement in her shadow box 🤩. I will share more as they fill, I hope you enjoy!
