🎉 Happy Centenarian Day! 🎉

Today, we celebrate the incredible lives of those who have reached 100 years and beyond! In the United States, the centenarian population is projected to more than quadruple over the next three decades, from an estimated 101,000 in 2024 to about 422,000 by 2054 (Pew Research Center).

These remarkable individuals embody resilience, wisdom, and the richness of a century lived. Let's honor their journeys and continue to promote aging with dignity and respect.

🧠 Person-Centered Dementia Care Starts with Assessment & Planning

The Alzheimer’s Association highlights that assessments shouldn’t just focus on deficits—they must capture strengths, preferences, and life history while including the voices of people with dementia and their care partners.

Key areas to address: cognitive & functional abilities, safety, mood, social connection, caregiver wellbeing, and advanced care planning. And remember—care plans should be living documents, updated regularly and shared with the whole team.

When we assess with the person at the center, we protect dignity, uncover unmet needs, and improve quality of life for everyone involved.
