Having friends helps older people stay socially connected, which reduces feelings of loneliness and depression. Regular interaction also provides emotional support and a sense of belonging, which can improve mood and resilience. Plus, social engagement can help keep the mind active and may slow cognitive decline. Share with us your ideas for keeping older ones connected to their friends and community.

🫶🙋‍♀️Next Wednesday, May 20: Join our complimentary in-person Caregiver Support Group for Part 2 of the topic “The Emotional Weight of Changing Roles: The Shift from Partner/Child/Friend to Caregiver.”

When someone becomes a caregiver for a spouse, parent or close friend, the line between “loved one” and “caregiver” can blur in confusing and emotional ways. What once felt like a familiar relationship may shift as new responsibilities take over, bringing feelings of grief, guilt, love, frustration and deep loyalty all at once. When a loved one moves into a community, it can be hard to know how much care to hand over and how much to continue doing yourself. This transition often brings another shift in your role, and navigating that balance can feel confusing, emotional and uncertain. This session explores how these changing roles impact identity and connection, and offers gentle, practical ways to honor the relationship while navigating the realities of caregiving.

There is no charge for this event, and dinner will be served. Wednesday, May 20, from 6 PM to 7 PM. Please RSVP to Wanda Boucher by May 19: WBoucher@bvsl.net or (443) 583-0785. For questions, call (443) 812-1028 or email help@stantonagingsolutions.com.

🩺Throughout this week, we're recognizing National Healthcare Decisions Day. I joined Family & Nursing Care at Brightview Senior Living to talk about the importance of advance care planning. We educated participants about the Maryland Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST) form, which allows patients to specify their medical treatment orders, including CPR and artificial ventilation. We also discussed creating what we call a Peace of Mind Planner, which helps organize all of your important documents, emergency contacts and wishes in one place. We can help you develop a Peace of Mind Planner and guide you in starting these essential conversations. Contact us at help@stantonagingsolutions.com 📧 or (443) 812-1028 to schedule a complimentary 15-minute conversation. ☎️

𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭𝟲𝘁𝗵, and we’re already thinking about this important day. Having worked in healthcare for 30 years, I have walked alongside many individuals and families during some of their most difficult moments. One thing I know for certain is that everyone deserves a voice. The only way to ensure that you have a voice and be sure your wishes are honored is to have conversations now, before you cannot. Advance care planning isn't about giving up control. It's about having control. It is a gift to you and to your loved ones. Please do not wait. Start talking and planning today.

If you would like guidance in starting the conversation with your loved ones, contact us at help@stantonagingsolutions.com, (443) 812-1028, or send us a direct message to schedule a complimentary 15-minute conversation.
