Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us! ❤️

Our residents had such a wonderful day filled with laughter, music, and so much love. Robin played beautifully on the harp, creating the perfect romantic atmosphere while everyone enjoyed delicious coconut shrimp appetizers, a beautiful lunch, and of course — chocolate-dipped strawberries to make the day extra sweet.

Between our Cupid Float Social, Sweetheart Bingo, and all the festive fun, it was truly a day to remember. Seeing the smiles, friendships, and joy shared today is what makes celebrations like this so special. 💘

Thank you to everyone who helped make this Valentine’s Day unforgettable for our residents ❤️

Understanding the Meaning Behind “I Want to Go Home” 🏡
Pacific View Memory Care – Education Series

When a person living with dementia says, “I want to go home,” they are often not referring to a physical place.

In dementia care, “home” can represent:
• Safety
• Familiarity
• Comfort
• A time when life felt predictable
• A place where they felt capable, known, and secure

Responding by correcting or explaining (“You are home”) can unintentionally increase distress, because it addresses the literal words, not the emotional need underneath them.

At Pacific View Memory Care, we focus on emotion-based communication. Evidence-based approaches include:

• Responding to the feeling:
“It sounds like you’re needing comfort right now.”

• Offering a familiar activity or routine

• Sitting side-by-side rather than face-to-face

• Using calm, reassuring language instead of detailed explanations

This approach is not deception.
It is meeting the brain where it is and prioritizing emotional safety and dignity.

Understanding behaviors helps us provide compassionate, person-centered care—every day.

💙 Dementia & Pain: What Families Need to Know

One of the most common things we hear is:
“Mom doesn’t feel pain anymore.”
“He doesn’t say he hurts.”
“They don’t seem to understand pain.”

Here’s the truth — pain does not go away with dementia.
What changes is the ability to recognize it, describe it, or ask for help.

When someone is living with dementia, pain often shows up in different ways:
• Agitation or sudden anger
• Anxiety or restlessness
• Aggression or resistance to care
• Pacing, wandering, or fidgeting
• Grimacing or changes in facial expression
• Changes in sleep or appetite

These behaviors are often misunderstood — but many times, they are a person’s way of saying, “Something hurts.”

At Pacific View, we don’t see behaviors first — we look for the cause.
Because when we understand that pain is still very real, we can respond with empathy, comfort, and proper care.

💙 Dementia changes communication — not humanity.
💙 Pain is still felt — it’s just spoken differently.

If you ever notice changes in your loved one’s behavior, please reach out to our care team. Together, we can listen, look deeper, and ensure comfort comes first.

Dementia and the sense of Taste

It’s common to worry when our loved ones living with dementia suddenly craves only sweet foods, soft textures, or some favorites. But there’s a reason: dementia alters taste, smell, and sensory processing.

Foods may begin to taste bland, metallic, or feel “wrong” in the mouth. Temperatures and textures can become overwhelming, like it can feel too hot, too cold, too gritty, too chewy.

Sweet flavors often linger longest in sensory memory. That’s why desserts, fruits, and sweetened foods can feel safer and more recognizable.

The goal isn’t a perfectly balanced plate. The goal is nourishment without distress.

If your loved on chooses junk or sweets over homemade meal, that’s still nutrition. That’s still care.

When the brain changes, food rules must bend to accommodate it.

Compassion means meeting our loved ones where they are, one bite, one moment, one gentle offering at a time.
