What does “Age-Friendly” care really look like in our community?

Meet Nurse Practitioner Kate Taylor, who embodies the heart of the 4Ms framework through her work with our community partner . With compassion and skill, she ensures older adults—like the family featured in “A Family’s Story” from Overture’s blog—receive care that truly aligns with what matters to them:

• What Matters — prioritizing comfort, independence, and cherished moments at home
• Medications — simplifying regimens to reduce risks
• Mentation — supporting cognitive health for both clients and caregivers
• Mobility — promoting safe, gentle movement to enhance independence

NP Taylor’s training and dedication allow her to bridge medical needs with personal goals—keeping older adults safely thriving at home.

This international day of self care, try floor time (but maybe not at work) or other grounding techniques!

✨ Sit or lie on the floor and take slow, deep breaths
✨ Try child’s pose or gentle stretching
✨ Place your hands flat on the ground and notice the support beneath you
✨ Do a body scan, starting from your toes to your head

Whether it’s 2 minutes or 20, taking a moment to pause can help restore your energy and calm. You deserve care—inside and out. 💚
