In the nonprofit world, having more work than helping hands—or funding—is an everyday struggle. And then a group like the amazing employees from First Interstate Bank shows up and reminds us how deeply supported we are by our community! 💕

We have a small but mighty team, and both of our beautiful buildings have been built and cared for through the generosity of our community. We truly couldn’t do what we do without our incredible volunteers.

Today, this wonderful crew helped us plant 32 perennials and shrubs, add a new tree, and replace 16 window screens. We also attempted to remove one giant, stubborn juniper bush—which may have inspired a few words I don’t use very often. 😳😂

To our new friends and longtime supporters: thank you for showing up, working hard, and sharing so much love with us. We are incredibly grateful! 💕

Music Has a Way of Bringing Us Together 🎶

At Black Hills Center for Aging, simple moments are often the most meaningful ones.

🎵 Good music. Good company. Great memories.

We love creating opportunities to get out, stay connected, and enjoy the community together!

Good friends + great memories + baseball = a winning day!

Small sips make a big difference. 💧

Did you know that dehydration is one of the most common—and sneaky—reasons for sudden increases in confusion, restlessness, or fatigue in people living with dementia?

As cognitive changes progress, the body’s internal "thirst alarm" often slows down. Plain water can feel uninviting, swallowing can become tricky, or drinking a whole glass simply gets forgotten. Left unchecked, even mild dehydration can trigger urinary tract infections, dizziness, constipation, and an increased risk of falls.

The good news? Hydration doesn’t always have to come in a plain water glass.

Making hydration colorful, accessible, and rewarding can make all the difference for your loved one:

🍓 Serve Water-Rich Foods: Watermelon, cucumber slices, strawberries, applesauce, and smoothies all contribute to daily fluid goals.

🍋 Add Light Flavor: A splash of 100% fruit juice, a squeeze of lemon, or a drop of flavor enhancer can make fluids far more enticing.

🥤 Use Bright & Accessible Cups: Visually contrasting, colorful cups with built-in straws or comfortable handles make beverages easier to see and hold.

🧊 Try Frozen Treats: Homemade popsicles using natural fruit juice are a fun, nostalgic, and hydrating snack.

Instead of handing them a large glass, try offering small, frequent sips throughout the day. Sit together, pour yourself a drink too, and turn it into a moment of connection.

Hydration is more than just quenching thirst—it’s protecting brain function, preserving energy, and supporting overall well-being.

💕 Caregiving is built on small, quiet acts of comfort—and every sip counts.
