We had such a great time hosting trivia with the residents at Laurel Meadows Wellness and Rehabilitation Center!

From geography and classic movies to favorite foods - and even a fun “Name That TV Show Theme Song” audio round - there was something for everyone. 🎶

We also kept the excitement going between rounds with lotto card number draws, adding a little extra surprise and fun throughout the game. 🥰

So much laughter, connection, and joy all around - we truly hope the residents enjoyed it as much as we did!

Thank you, Laurel Meadows, for having us. We can’t wait to come back!

We love St. Louis and love bringing joy right where we live. 💛

If you are a community that would like to host this free event, please reach out! 😊

April is a big month for us at Dementia Life STL 💜

We’re excited to be launching THREE new caregiver education groups, and we’d love for you to join us. Whether you’re caring for someone with dementia, working in the field, or simply want to better understand how to support others - you are welcome here.

What can you expect?
Practical, real-life tools you can actually use. A relaxed, supportive space with zero pressure - share if you want, or just come and absorb.

Who should come?
Families, professionals, friends, neighbors… anyone with a heart for dementia care.

Here’s the truth: dementia is affecting more and more people every day. But with the right understanding and approach, YOU can make a huge difference - in your home, your neighborhood, your church, and your workplace.

No registration needed. Just come as you are.

If you have questions or want more information, feel free to reach out to me anytime. I’d love to connect 💜

☘️ When words fade, music, touch, and love still speak. ☘️

This St. Patrick’s Day, we’re reminded that connection doesn’t always come from conversation. A familiar song, holding a hand, or simply sitting together can say more than words ever could.
For those living with dementia, moments of joy can still be found in laughter, rhythm, kindness, and love. Today, may we all share a little extra patience, a little extra compassion, and maybe even a little Irish luck. 💚

Looking forward to our education this morning at Spencer Library - Being a Dementia Detective: Understanding and Responding to Challenging Behaviors.
Challenging behaviors can be one of the most difficult parts of caring for someone with dementia. While we can’t always prevent them, learning the why, how to respond in the moment, and steps to reduce them can make the journey so much easier.
Grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and support our community. 💜
