October is a month filled with crisp autumn days, colorful changes, a little nostalgia, and plenty of reasons to smile. As the leaves begin to turn and fall settles in, it’s a wonderful time to enjoy the simple things—a favorite sweater, a warm drink, a good conversation, or an unexpected act of kindness.
Enjoy the changing season, learn something new, share a little kindness, and make time for the people and activities that bring you happiness. Every day deserves a bright spot—and we hope The Perk Daily brings a few to yours! If you would like to receive the Perk each month, please write "PERK" in the comments below.

Happy 4th of July to you, and Happy 250th birthday to our nation.

Our greatest legacy isn't found in our possessions or accomplishments—it's found in the lives we've touched. A kind word, a listening ear, a helping hand, and the love we share with others often become the memories that last the longest.

Every day gives us a new opportunity to leave behind something meaningful: compassion, wisdom, encouragement, faith, and hope. Those are the gifts that continue to make a difference long after we're gone.

Consider the legacy you're creating today. The story of your life is still being written—and every act of kindness becomes part of it.

💜 What kind of legacy do you hope to leave?

Medicare Expands GLP-1 Medication Access Starting July 1
Eligible Medicare beneficiaries may access certain GLP-1 medications for about $50 per month through a new, temporary program. Running from July 1, 2026, through Dec. 31, 2027, the program has specific eligibility requirements that professionals supporting older adults must understand to guide access to this benefit.

A lack of insurance coverage for weight loss medications has put some treatments out of reach for many older adults. A new Medicare program aims to improve access to GLP-1 drugs. Here's what to know.

This month, we have been honoring the generations who have shaped our families, communities, and nation through their hard work, sacrifice, wisdom, and love.

Every older adult has a story worth hearing, lessons worth sharing, and a legacy worth celebrating. Their experiences remind us where we've come from and help guide where we're going.

Today, as the month ends, we encourage you to take a moment to connect with an older adult in your life. Ask about their favorite memory, listen to their story, and let them know how much they matter.

💙 Thank you to all Older Americans for the lives you've lived, the lives you've touched, and the example you've set for future generations.

Welcome, Our New Medical Director: We are honored to announce that Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC, has joined our team as Medical Director.

Dr. Guidry brings a unique perspective to our team. Before her distinguished career in medicine, she served her community as an educator—a “teacher’s heart” that continues to define her clinical practice today. She understands that medical oversight is only effective when it is delivered with empathy and a focus on the person, not just the patient.

A graduate of UCLA and Texas A&M College of Medicine, Dr. Guidry is board-certified in Internal Medicine and is a certified Hospice Medical Director (HMDC). She is also the author of The Real Deal About Hospice, a book dedicated to demystifying care and helping families find peace during life’s most delicate transitions. Dr. Guidry is the founder of Mourning Dove Medical and the creator of the Healthcare Roadmap™. By embedding a physician advisor directly into our team, we are able to offer a care model that is both strategic and deeply supportive—meeting needs proactively rather than reactively. Using her roadmap to identify clinical decline early allows families to remain focused on connection rather than crisis management. As a California-based physician, Dr. Guidry provides direct patient care and manages physician-required documentation and urgent prescriptions. This removes many of the “act of care” hurdles, allowing families to return to the “spirit of caring.” Dr. Guidry also strengthens our ability to advocate by providing the clinical oversight necessary to honor a loved one’s autonomy and ensure their wishes remain the primary guide for all medical decisions.

“Together, we move from coordination to leadership, ensuring that your journey is defined by clarity, dignity, and joy.”
— Dr. Kaishauna Guidry

We invite you to join us in welcoming “Dr. G” to the team. We are confident that her wisdom, compassion, and clinical rigor will elevate the care experience for every family we serve.

This Mother’s Day, we honor the women who held our hands through every season of life. 💙

Mothers comforted us, protected us, encouraged us, and carried us through moments we may never fully understand until later in life. And sometimes, life gently shifts — and the ones who once cared for us begin to lean on us in return.

At About Senior Solutions, we see the beauty, sacrifice, and love woven into caregiving every day. Today we celebrate mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and every generation connected by compassion and care.

Happy Mother’s Day to the women whose love continues to guide generations. 🌷

Sometimes, the kindest response isn’t correcting—it’s connecting. 💛

When a loved one remembers something differently, it can be tempting to gently “fix” the details. But in many cases, correcting can lead to confusion, frustration, or even anxiety.

Instead, try redirecting the moment.
Meet them where they are.
Follow their lead.
Shift the conversation toward something comforting or familiar.

Because in caregiving, preserving peace, dignity, and emotional safety often matters more than getting the facts exactly right.

These small moments of grace can make a big difference—for both of you.

💬 Have you ever used redirection in a meaningful way? We’d love to hear your experience.

📞 If you’re navigating memory changes or caregiving challenges, About Senior Solutions is here to support you every step of the way.

The solution to what your older loved one may need.
