The DAISY Foundation was created in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, whose family experienced firsthand the extraordinary compassion and care nurses provide. In gratitude, they established a meaningful way to publicly say “thank you” to nurses who make a difference every day. 💚💛



Now it’s your turn to help us recognize that impact.



Take a moment to nominate a nurse who goes above and beyond in caring for others. This special award is presented twice a year, with the first celebration taking place in April. 🌼



Help us honor the dedication, skill, and heart of our incredible nurses. Click the link to submit your nomination today.

If February has you feeling a little cabin fever, you’re not alone. Short days, gray skies, and the post-holiday quiet can make this time of year feel especially isolating, particularly for older adults. In fact, a recent report from the Central Indiana Council on Aging found that nearly half of Hoosier seniors feel bored, and 42 percent report feeling depressed during the winter months.

At Traditions of Lafayette, we believe no one should have to navigate that loneliness alone. That’s why we’re hosting Creative Connections, a special event designed to spark conversation, build friendships, and offer real solutions for staying socially and emotionally connected all year long.

We’re honored to be featured by WLFI for the meaningful work happening right here at Traditions of Lafayette 💙

We’re proud to create an environment where no one has to navigate this chapter of life alone.

LAFAYETTE, Ind.(WLFI) - Traditions of Lafayette is addressing loneliness among seniors with an event open to the public and its residents.

Today at Traditions of Lafayette, our residents were treated to an authentic New Orleans–style Mardi Gras menu, and it was truly a celebration to remember! From the festive flavors to the great conversations shared around the table, it felt like a little piece of the French Quarter right here at home.

💜💚💛

Good food, great company, and even better memories, that’s how we celebrate at Traditions! 🎭✨

💙 REX — The Soft-Hearted Gentleman
Age: Young adult
Vibe: Shy sweetheart → loyal best friend
Love Language: Quiet companionship & gentle reassurance
About Me:
Hi… I’m Rex. I might hang back a little when we first meet — new places and people can make me nervous. But give me a little patience and you’ll discover the real me: affectionate, devoted, and always close by once I trust you.
I’ve lived with kids and other dogs before, so I understand family life — I just do best with older kiddos who can respect my sensitive side. I’m not dramatic… just thoughtful.
Perfect Date:
A calm walk, a cozy couch, and someone telling me I’m a good boy (because I try really hard to be).
Green Flags:
✔ Has lived with children
✔ Dog-friendly
✔ Loyal companion energy
✔ Gentle soul
My Ideal Home:
A patient human who lets me open up at my own pace. I promise… once you’re my person, you’re my person.
Swipe Right If:
You believe the best friendships take a little time — and are always worth it.

🍝 ZITI — 7 yrs | Gentle Soul & Certified Good Boy 🍝
About Me:
Hi, I’m Ziti. I’ve loved a family before… and I’m ready to love one again ❤️
I was adopted in 2022 and had a home, but life changed when my person became sick and couldn’t come back for me. So here I am — not because I did anything wrong, just because sometimes humans need help too.
My Personality:
💛 Sweetest boy you’ll ever meet
🐾 Friendly with other dogs (I even made friends in boarding!)
🛋️ Calm, affectionate, and people-oriented
🎥 Professional tail-wagger and playtime enthusiast
👀 Just wants someone to belong to again
Love Language:
Leaning gently into you and staying close.
Ideal Date:
A short walk, a soft bed, and you telling me I’m home.
Looking For:
Someone who understands loyalty goes both ways. I don’t need excitement — I need connection.
Red Flags:
You think older dogs are “less.”
Green Flags:
You know they love the deepest.
I already know how to be someone’s best friend… I just need a best friend again 🐾
