💙 Grateful for the Dory Family 💙

We are incredibly thankful to the Dory family for choosing AgeWell Connections to help guide them through the assisted living decision process.

We’re honored to have helped connect you with The Gables of Blackfoot Assisted Living , a community known for its compassionate care and welcoming environment.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of such an important chapter. Helping families feel confident, supported, and at peace is why we do what we do.

💙 A Heartfelt Thank You to the Manriquez Family 💙

We want to extend our sincere gratitude to the Manriquez family for placing their trust in AgeWell Connections during such an important season of life.

Finding the right assisted living option can feel overwhelming, emotional, and uncertain. It was truly an honor to walk alongside your family and help guide you through the process. With your trust—and working together—we were able to find the right fit through Grace Assisted Living - Chubbuck , and we are confident it will provide comfort, care, and peace of mind.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of this journey. Stories like yours are the reason we do what we do—serving families with compassion, advocacy, and heart.

🧠 When Is Memory Loss More Than “Just Getting Older”?

Noticing changes in a loved one’s memory, behavior, or decision-making can be scary—and many families aren’t sure when it’s time to be concerned.

Dementia often starts quietly:
• Repeating the same questions
• Confusion with medications or finances
• Getting lost in familiar places
• Personality or mood changes
• Increased frustration or withdrawal

We are incredibly proud to partner with an outstanding nonprofit like Veterans Mobility Corp. The selfless work they do is truly exceptional. Their mission is simple and powerful: ensuring veterans and their loved ones receive the care and support they deserve without red tape, hidden details, or barriers.

There are no hoops to jump through—just genuinely free power wheelchair mobility for those who have served our country. Even more impactful, this support extends not only to veterans, but to their immediate family members as well.

If you are a veteran, or if you or a member of your immediate family needs a power wheelchair at no cost, please reach out to us. We would be honored to help ensure you have the mobility and independence you deserve.

We delivered chair #445 today to the wife of an Air Force Vietnam Veteran, During his military career they were stationed in Arizona and he was an aircraft mechanic getting the planes ready and safe to carry the troops to Vietnam it was a pleasure to meet such a great couple and help them out! We also had the honor of Mr. Richards from the come along with us on our delivery to see how they go and what goes on. I hope he enjoyed it as much as we did!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

🍁 AgeWell Connections Thanksgiving Meal Project Update 🍁

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to submit nominations for our Thanksgiving Meal Project. Because of your kindness and willingness to look out for others, we were able to bless two families with a complete Thanksgiving meal—every ingredient they needed for a homemade Thanksgiving, and not have to worry about the financial burden

These families were incredibly appreciative and moved by this contribution, and none of it would have been possible without you.

From all of us at AgeWell Connections, we hope you and your loved ones enjoy a wonderful and meaningful Thanksgiving holiday. 🧡🦃🍽️
