This is the kind of moment we love most.

She's usually not one for hugs so this one felt extra special.

And yes, we make room for fun too. 🌿

When Home Isn’t the Best Place to Heal

After an illness, fall, or surgery, families often assume recovery should happen at home.

But sometimes home becomes:
• Too much for one spouse
• Too much worry for adult children
• Too many moving pieces
• Too little rest for the person trying to heal

Short-term care can also be used during recovery — when someone needs extra help for a season.

And choosing that help doesn’t mean you’ve failed anyone.

It doesn’t have to be permanent.
It just has to be more consistent.

🌿 The right care can make all the difference in recovery.

Short-term care: relief, not forever 💝

This is sometimes called respite care and is meant for seasons when:
• You’re pulled in many directions or responsibilities are piling up
• A parent or spouse needs continued care
• You need support just for a while

There is no long-term commitment required. Sometimes the most helpful step is simply creating a little breathing room.

🌿 Care can begin gently — just enough time for relief — and can always be reevaluated later.

If this resonates today, please know there are options.

If you’re caring for an aging parent, please know this: what you’re doing matters — and it isn’t easy. You don’t have to do everything alone. 🌿

The holidays are over, the house is quieter… and sometimes that’s when the exhaustion finally catches up.

You may be holding more than anyone realizes — the responsibility, the constant planning, the quiet worry… and the guilt that comes with needing a pause.

At SilverMaple, we offer short-term stays for elderly beloveds who need loving, attentive care — the same kind of care you want for them every day — while you take care of life:

⚡️your own medical appointments
✍️work demands
✏️school schedules
⚽️ball games
🧑‍🎓college tours… or
🌙simply resting

This isn’t “leaving” your loved one. It’s giving them a calm, home-like place where they are watched over, engaged, and truly cared for — while you take a breath knowing they are safe.

You don’t have to do everything. Accepting help is part of loving well.

If this season has left you tired, we’re here — for your loved one, and for you.

Message us if you’d like to talk through what support could look like for your family.

❤️❤️ ❤️3 Gentle Ways to Communicate with Someone Living with Dementia ❤️❤️❤️

There is no perfect script - how we communicate matters just as much as what we say.

Here are three gentle approaches we use every day that make a big difference at your home, too.

1. RESPOND TO THE FEELINGS, NOT THE WORDS ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

If a loved one says something that isn’t quite accurate, try not to correct them right away. Instead, listen for the emotion behind the words.

Maybe they are anxious? Missing someone? Feeling unsure?

A simple response like, “That sounds upsetting. I’m here with you,” can bring far more comfort than explaining why they’re wrong.

2. FEWER WORDS, MORE PATIENCE 💖💖💖

Dementia can make language feel like too much. We slow down. We keep sentences short. We give plenty of time to respond.

And when someone is non-verbal, we watch closely—hands clenching, pacing, facial expressions, changes in energy. Those are still messages. They’re just spoken differently now.

3. LET YOUR PRESENCE SPEAK LOUDER 💞💞💞

A smile. Eye contact. Sitting at their level. A reassuring touch on the hand (when welcomed).

For many non-verbal residents, these moments says so much more than language. Even when words fade, connection remains.

If this resonated with you, feel free save it for later. If you’re walking this journey with someone you love, know that you’re not alone. We are here - doors and hearts open.

💟💟💟And if you ever want to talk, we would love to schedule a visit. 💟💟💟

"I have to watch myself over there. They so do things by the book, UGH!" - former employee at SilverMaple

Yet when your beloved asks us to stay with them until they fall asleep and it's 4am, we gladly will. And hold their hand as they do.

The heart comes first. The paperwork can always wait.

SilverMaple Assisted Living - here for your beloved.

Not all assisted living settings are the same — and for many older adults, smaller really is better.

Research shows seniors in small homes have:

💚 Better memory and mood — studies show higher emotional well-being and engagement than in large facilities.
🧠 Half the fall rate — residents in small homes are two times less likely to fall than those in large communities (CDC, 2016).
🤝 Stronger connections — older adults with limited social ties are 50% more likely to develop dementia (National Academies of Sciences).

Our care model is intentionally around these findings. But while the data guides us, it’s the heart that rules this home. See how we care for beloveds in Fulshear! Contact us to schedule a tour!

Your beloved, our beloved.
