What if the secret to having more enjoyable holidays isn't doing more, but doing less? 🎄 In our latest episode, Senior Memory Care Director Regina Trent reveals how families who have loved ones with dementia are rediscovering holiday joy by simplifying traditions, timing visits differently, and focusing on what truly matters: comfort, familiarity, and being together. From decorating wreaths to sharing cocoa in vintage Santa mugs, these small moments create the biggest memories.
