November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month.
In recognition, here are a few brain-supportive holiday meal ideas you can enjoy and share with the whole family this season. These dishes incorporate foods linked to cognitive health—like leafy greens, berries, nuts, olive oil, beans, whole grains, and omega-3 rich fish:

• Roasted Brussels sprouts, carrots & sweet potatoes with olive oil and turmeric
• Herb-lemon salmon as a lighter, heart-healthy holiday entrée
• Warm lentil & vegetable bake for a cozy, nutrient-packed side
• Spinach & garlic sauté to add a simple, antioxidant-rich green
• Berry, walnut & spinach salad with a light vinaigrette
• Holiday Greek yogurt parfaits layered with berries and cinnamon

These small additions bring both flavor and brain-supportive nutrients to the table, perfect for the holiday season. 💜

Earlier this month, our team took a break from the daily routine to enjoy some much-needed connection and creativity! We started with a fun candle-making activity, then enjoyed lunch and great conversation as we deepened our knowledge on tube feeding. It’s always great to get together, learn from each other, and catch up! 💛

As we transition into fall, nutrition takes on new importance. Seasonal changes affect appetite, hydration, and even immunity in older adults.

Here are a few key considerations this time of year:

-Warm, nutrient-dense meals — Soups, stews, and baked dishes provide comfort while supporting calorie and protein needs.
-Seasonal produce — Squash, apples, cranberries, and root vegetables add flavor, fiber, and antioxidants.
-Hydration awareness — Cooler weather often reduces thirst cues, so it’s essential to encourage fluids throughout the day.
-Immune support — Adequate protein, vitamin C, and zinc help strengthen defenses as flu season approaches.

Nutrition plays a vital role in resident health, recovery, and overall quality of life. By aligning menus with seasonal needs, we can make meals both enjoyable and clinically supportive.

What other nutrition strategies do you see making a difference this time of year?

To all the staff who go above and beyond, and to the residents who inspire us daily – thank you.
