Fun Fact Friday: Did You Know that LCSL is always looking for ways to improve care?

Another common misunderstanding is that people living with dementia are being intentionally difficult or uncooperative. In reality, residents who are exhibiting struggle, frustration, or even aggression are often trying to communicate an unmet need, confusion, fear, pain, or feeling overwhelmed.

At LCSL, staff recently participated in a two-day onsite, hands-on training with dementia communication specialist Erin Bonitto focused on better understanding these moments and learning more supportive ways to respond. The training reinforced the importance of seeing communication beyond words and approaching each resident with compassion, patience, and understanding.

Fun Fact Friday: Did You Know that in 2025, 20% of individuals discharged from LCSL were able to successfully return home following their care and rehabilitation services?

Many people assume senior living communities are only places people go when there are no other options left. In reality, many residents receive rehabilitation, recover after hospitalization, gain social connection, improve nutrition, or receive support that helps them maintain independence longer. Skilled nursing at LCSL can significantly improve quality of life — not just provide end-of-life care.

Fun Fact Friday: Did You Know there is a difference between skilled nursing and long-term care services?

Many people use the terms “skilled nursing” and “long-term care” interchangeably, but they are actually different types of services. Skilled nursing typically refers to short-term medical care and rehabilitation provided after a hospitalization, such as therapy, wound care, IV medications, or recovery following surgery or illness. The goal is often to help someone regain strength and safely return home or to their highest possible level of functioning. Long-term care, on the other hand, provides ongoing support for individuals who need assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility, medications, or memory support over an extended period of time. Both services are important but serve very different needs. LCSL provides both skilled nursing and long-term care services.

We made a trip to Scott City today! We were greeted with kindness and hospitality from our neighboring county! ❤️

First we had lunch at The Grill House. We had some good food and even had left overs! 😋

Then we went to the El Quartelejo Museum. We saw several amazing paintings by Jerry Thomas and some great artifacts from through out the years. Our Elders were able to reminisce and even tell some stories from their childhood! Definitely a must see museum in western Kansas! ☺️

Thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible from staff and volunteers who go along to help and to those who have donate to LCSL to allow us to fund these trips! 😘

Keep an eye out for more updates, as we are planning for a trip out of town once a month for the next several months! 🥰
