“Value and Legacy”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025
I was wondering? What do I have in my mind that is valuable to those around me or what is the legacy I am leaving behind.
My kids told me recently that I am the matriarch of the family. What does that mean to me and to them. I ponder what to pass on to them and what those that have gone before me, passed on to me. Some things are passed on by actions we do or event we create and others are what we say and teach them.
All my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are gone. My sibs and I are the current legacy to our family.
What can we do, to first off, letting those know that they are valuable and that they contain a plethora of information to leave as a legacy. How do we show them that they are important and will not be forgotten? These things are tough to do these days because we are all so busy just trying to figure out how our current life in this world.
I have written a letter to my kids to let them know I love them and that they ALL matter because we all do plain and simple. Love is not conditional or given and taken away at will. Despite differences, these are the days we come together and love on one another because we ALL have value and a legacy to pass on.
Love your loved one and ask them how they see their legacy and anything special they want to pass on. Getting them to open up about these things may be tough but if we share with them, hopefully they can pass on something never expected and could change someone for a life time to come.
I know that we all may not be able to communicate with our loved ones but at least trying and sharing their value, in that brief moment they may take that in.

“Thanks Giving”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

At this time of year, we all think about what we are grateful for. I am grateful for the ability to express my feeling and share them.

We get so busy with all the holiday prep this time of the year, I want you to sit for a moment and close your eyes and think about a time when your loved ones shared their hearts and home with you. Our shared experiences to join family at this time of the year is something we should never forget. It is in those moments that remind us family or friends we are all family. Pull from your heart and share that moment or gratitude with your loved one. They may or may not remember it but you do and it is something you can pass along with love and compassion.

“Moment to Share”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

I want to take a moment and share about our home and what it means to our loved ones.
When I say our loved ones, I mean everyone that comes to stay with us, be it long or short term, they become our family. We share our lives and our hearts every day.
We have 8 rooms, both single and shared so that they are affordable and can meet those tight budgets. We work with whatever financial outcomes you are currently trying to deal with but I stress that this is based on availability.
We can have a hard conversation with you and hopefully give you options that might fit your loved ones needs. We might not be able to house your loved one but hopefully direct you in the right way to ease your mind and be able to seek out the right place for them.

We want to see everyone that stays with us or not, have the best life possible.

“Breaking Bread”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

Do you have photos and memories you can share with your loved one during these holiday events! Past exploits and family fun?
During this time, we are all getting busy with all the holiday events but remember even an hour of your time with your loved one means the world to them. Sharing and caring for their emotional well-being can not only get you through but them as well. Bring them one of their favorite sandwiches and share a meal. Take a long lunch break from work and spread the joy!! Ask them if they want to invite someone to join you both and break bread, a smile, laugh, and love.

“Leaves are falling”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

Time to change the décor? Take your loved one out and about to gather some leaves to create a beautiful wreath for fall.
So easy to do! Go to your favorite craft store and get a Styrofoam wreath and a bit of glue and let them express their self. Hang their creation in their space or take it home and share it with the family. Take a picture with everyone around their work and share it with them and let them know how you and the family are enjoying it.
The little moments to share with them during these fall days is so important. They are not getting that natural vitamin D from the outdoors so take every chance you can to give them that emotional and Vit D boost!! Keep those spirits up and spread the joy. Can you share this with someone close to them and make it a project to share?

“Keeping it Interesting”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

Do you play cards or board games with you loved one? Simple games can keep their minds active. Short things like go fish or Memory Card games. You can do a short internet search to find game that might be suitable for playing within your loved one’s ability. Set a timer to play 5 minutes and do a check in because you do not want them getting frustrated or overwhelmed. Then switch to something else. We want to give them a mind workout but not a mind overload.
I also want to remind everyone that our hands are very important as we get older. I have talked about hand yoga before, and I am sure I will talk about it again because in my mind a little time makes a huge difference. Let’s get whatever exercise in that we can when we can. Do a simple search on exercises for the elderly and you will find so many. Pick what will work for you and your loved one! I know that some places have these things but our loved ones might be in that place of privacy and do not want to participant until they are more comfortable with their new living space.

“Don’t be afraid to ask”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

When placing our loved ones what are the questions you should be thinking to ask?
Think first, NO question is a silly one. This is where you want to make sure you ask whatever you need, to be comfortable for your loved one to live.
What do they have for exercise to keep your loved one mobile?
What do they do to provide proper meals that meet whatever your loved one’s needs are now and into the future? At this time of life their meal needs might change.
What do they provide as far as extra’s like depends and cleaning supplies, as they potentially become incontinent?
Hours you are able to remove them for outings if you choose to take them out and about?
How often should we think about meeting with the care team?
How often do they do outings and can you attend?
What is the difference between private room vs semi private?
Can they start out in one kind of a room and be moved if it becomes an issue?
Financial assistance, what do they accept and do they have resources where you can seek out additional help to cover daily cost and additional expenses?
What could come up in the future that we should think about now, as they decline?
How do they get to and from appointment like Doctors or Eye Care?
How do they handle emergencies?
Do they notify families of upcoming events?
Remember this is the end of life care for you loved one and we need to be present and aware of their needs.

“Starting that process, Let’s have a talk”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

Looking and deciding when and where to find a proper place for our loved one.
These are hard times and struggling with the care and cost of care of a loved one influence our decisions. For some, doing the research early and talking with the doctors about the expectation of decline of our loved one can be hard.
Have you had an honest talk with your loved one to prepare them for what to expect and what they would like to see in that process of transition. We have to remember that this is their life as well. As much as we can or cannot take care of them it is important to include them in this decision and do it early before they decline to the point of not knowing. This can put them into stressful situation that can be hard on them and you.
Early conversations can do 2 things
1. Give you peace of mind as to their wishes
2. Prepares you with parameters and possible costs as to what is doable and that it meets their current needs now and into the future.

“Pool Time”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

Not sure about you but I think we have had good weather this month so far. It reminds me to get those out and about before the long winters nap.
Have you thought about signing them up for something like Silver Sneakers/One Pass, through Medicare? Basically, it is a fitness programs for seniors. It gives you access to the pool and or gym for your loved one. Maybe they have weekly exercise class that we can do with our loved one or take them to the pool for a little walk about. I go to my local city pool and they have a lazy river that I do and see others like me wanting to keep fit with low impact exercise. Check in with their doctor and see what level you can start them on. Keeping them active through the long winter is so important for mind, body and soul. We got this for them!

“Levels of Care”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

When we look for places to place our loved one, we need to make sure we look towards the future as well. Does the home/facility have the options we may need as our loved one declines. Not all decline in the same way but knowing what to expect or what they might need is helpful when planning the best place for them.
A visit to the doctor with a discussion of possible decline scenarios and needs we might want to consider, will better direct us on the path that best suits our love one.
These costs can vary from place to place and extra expenses might/might not come into place but should be on our radar. The little things like drives to doctor, incontinence issues, special meals, memory care decline, assistance with daily grooming. It is never too early to check these things out and be prepared, transitions are hard enough, let’s make it easier on them and us.
Ask the question of each place as to what are the levels of care are and additional expenses for those options.

“Completed”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

You know I was watching a commercial on tv the other day and what a great idea!
Why don’t we start a project to the point of almost completion and then help your loved one finish it? Things like painting wooden stars for the Christmas tree or other items you can find at the craft store. What about a picture that has paint by numbers. Something easy to follow that falls within their ability. We do not want them to struggle. They can use them to decorate for the upcoming holidays. Yes, I said it upcoming holidays!
We have fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Winter, so many options for ideas. Let’s get our imaginations and theirs going. Since of accomplishment and joy!

“As we slow down”
Thoughtful reflections in 2025

As we slow down on the summer events and get our kids ready for school let’s not forget our loved one’s ability to enhance this time. We get busy and we tend to forget that our loved ones still need a little love. How can we get them involved? Maybe have a back to school night and have some sort of fun dinner planned and every one talk about the upcoming school year and show off the new school gear. Let’s let our loved ones talk about there school years. Let our littles learn what it was like back when.
They have so much to add and maybe our little can gain perspective on life and how to plan for their future. We never really know what will stick with our littles.
