The holidays are meant for connection but for someone with dementia, large gatherings and fast-paced conversations can sometimes feel overwhelming.

When you sit down together this season, focus on comfort over correction. Instead of asking, “Do you remember…?”, try saying, “It’s so nice to spend time with you.”

A few gentle conversation tips:
💬 Speak slowly and with warmth
💬 Use names and familiar cues
💬 Reminisce about positive feelings rather than specific dates
💬 Give them time to respond — silence can be soothing, too.

Meaningful moments come from shared emotion and presence.

The holiday season is a time of joy, but it can also bring extra responsibilities for caregivers—cooking, decorating, wrapping gifts, and more. 🎁

Respite care offers a solution: a short-term stay for your loved one where they can enjoy quality care, festive activities, and social connections in a welcoming environment. Meanwhile, caregivers get peace of mind and a chance to recharge. This season, let us help lighten your load while ensuring your loved one enjoys the holidays to the fullest. 🎄

The holiday season is full of so much merriment and cheer, and we love making sure our Memory Support residents are sharing in the joy! ⭐

If you’re spending time with a loved one with dementia this holiday season, there are lots of dementia-friendly holiday activities to get you in the holiday spirit. 🎄
You can:
💫 Listen to classic holiday music, create a scent station to spark holiday memories, or make touch-based ornaments together out of soft materials like felt!

🖼️Make paper snowflakes or simple garlands, decorate a small table-top tree, or paint or color holiday-themed pages together, making sure to use large-print coloring sheets and bold, cheerful colors.

🌟Watch gentle holiday movies or shows, take a drive to see the lights (as long as it’s brief and low-pressure), or sip warm cocoa together, paired with a familiar Christmas carol for an extra cozy moment!

As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re reminded how important it is to include loved ones with dementia in the celebration in ways that feel comforting and joyful. 💜

Hosting a “mini-Thanksgiving” for family members living with dementia can be more comfortable and meaningful than a big celebration.

✅ Fewer guests means less noise and confusion
✅ Familiar surroundings ease anxiety
✅ More one-on-one time encourages connection

A calm environment helps everyone enjoy the day, and keeps the focus on gratitude and love. 💛
