It’s more than just your morning paper. It’s a moment of routine, independence and quiet joy, the kind of moment where life feels familiar and full.

Between appointments and errands, there's space for presence, reflection and being truly you as an older adult.

"I felt like I was drowning trying to take care of my husband.”

After Nolan’s stroke, his wife, Hazel, did everything she could (and so did the kids). But the weight was heavy.

Then Zae came in.

They weren’t sure how much a caregiver could help, but she jumped in right away to ease the burden and help keep Nolan at home. Housework, exercise, errands… and most importantly, earning his trust.

A 24-year military vet, Nolan wasn’t quick to open up. But now, he and Zae are best buddies. He shares stories. He feels encouraged. And the family gets to see the Nolan they knew before the stroke.

They’re not drowning anymore.
