🌟 What Does a Social Worker Do at Providence PACE? 🌟

At Providence PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), social workers play a heart-centered and essential role in helping older adults live safely, independently, and with dignity.

💙 Our social workers:

- Build trusting relationships with participants and their families
- Support emotional well‑being through counseling and compassionate listening
- Navigate complex care needs, from housing and transportation to home support
- Advocate for participants—ensuring their goals, values, and voices lead the care planning
- Connect participants with resources that enhance quality of life
- Collaborate with the entire PACE care team to deliver truly whole-person care

At Providence PACE, social workers are more than care team members—they’re partners, guides, and champions for the older adults we serve.

✨ Honoring the people who help our participants live fully, with support and dignity every day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday for Speakeasy Secrets—a night filled with hidden doors, smooth cocktails, unforgettable style, and even better company. From the moment guests passed through the gate and into the vault, the evening was pure magic.

We are incredibly grateful to the partners who brought this unforgettable evening to life:

🏡 Will & Julissa Marcencia of 99.3 FM The Vine — thank you for hosting and welcoming us into a night rooted in generosity, vision, and heart. Your leadership and hospitality made the evening truly special.
🍷 Rutherford Wine Vault — thank you to Mario Sculatti and team for opening your doors, your vault, and the perfect setting for a night of intrigue.
🍸 1331 Cocktails — for keeping the vault buzzing and the toasts flowing. Your mixologists delivered a true speakeasy experience, one forbidden cocktail at a time.
🍽 Blossom Catering Company — for proving that no great speakeasy story starts on an empty stomach. Thoughtful, delicious, and an essential part of the magic.
🚬 Napa Ci**rs — for a touch of old school indulgence, best enjoyed slowly.
📸 Infinity Visuals —for capturing the memories (with just enough plausible deniability).
✨ Bougie Napa —for adding the perfect dose of sparkle and surprise.
🎭 Theoni Collection — for providing the event essentials that set the stage for the night. Your support behind the scenes made the experience feel polished, thoughtful, and complete.
🗝 Rebecca Johnson of O'Donnell Lane — for her extraordinary care, creativity, and meticulous attention to detail which helped create the magic that made the night unforgettable.

Most of all, thank you—for saying yes to mystery, community, and a cause that truly matters. Events like this help sustain our Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resource Center, ensuring caregivers aren’t alone and families have trusted support when they need it most.

And one secret worth sharing… 🎶We hope you will join us on August 28 for Music & Memories: Lyrics & Legends—an unforgettable night where every beat supports families impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia. (Learn more at https://musicandmemoriesnapa.org/)

🌊🎶 Smiles, movement, and a little “Surfin’ Safari!” 🎶🌊

Joy filled the room as participants gathered for the debut of our Omi Interactive Board at the Adult Day Health (ADH) center. What began with curiosity quickly turned into laughter as colorful beach balls floated across the screen—inviting everyone to jump in with sweeping arm movements and gentle gestures.

Together, participants brushed the beach balls away, revealing a familiar surprise underneath: The Beach Boys, perfectly timed with the opening notes of “Surfin’ Safari.” The smiles said it all. 💙

The Omi Interactive Board is an award‑winning, touch‑activated technology designed to enrich dementia care and spark meaningful engagement. At ADH, it supports cognitive stimulation, memory recall, relaxation, and emotional well‑being—through movement, music, visuals, and play.

What makes Omi truly special is its accessibility and flexibility. Responsive to even the smallest motion, it encourages gentle physical activity, hand‑eye coordination, and participation for people of all abilities. Staff can easily bring activities to participants wherever they feel most comfortable, creating personalized, empowering experiences.

From interactive quizzes and group games to calming nature scenes and therapeutic sounds, the Omi Board brings people together—fostering connection, laughter, and moments of pure joy.

🙏 Thank you to our generous donors and supporters for making this possible through the Providence Community Health Foundation Napa Valley. Your support is helping us create brighter, more engaging days for those we serve.
