Outcomes Matter! Mrs. Roshto was walking over 300 feet with a rolling walker, needing only contact guard assistance. She proudly returned home to Louisiana, stronger, more confident, and ready to continue her journey toward independence.
We'll certainly miss Mrs. Roshto's warm smile and can-do attitude, but we're honored to have been part of her recovery story. Congratulations, Mrs. Roshto, you are an inspiration to us all!

It’s Halloween Week!
Last of the decor is up and collecting candy for all the little Trick or Treating ghosts and princesses! There’s still time to have some fun and have a creative day with some arts and crafts. Here’s some fun simple crafts we can all do together!
HANDPRINT SPIDERS:
Apply black paint to your palm and four fingers leaving out the thumb. Place palm onto a piece of paper. Turn the paper 180° and print again making sure the palm overlaps. Add some googly eyes using either paint or stickers.
PAINT A PUMPKIN:
Pumpkin carving can be messy, difficult, and sometimes dangerous.
Instead, use some permanent markers or acrylic paint to make your pumpkin look like a monster, clown, or other Halloween character. The smaller “pie pumpkins” or even the mini-pumpkins will work perfectly for this craft.
Don’t have any pumpkins?
Grab some paper plates to use as your pumpkin and paint them orange, yellow, or green. Once the plates are dry, cut out shapes from additional plates or colored paper and glue them on for the eyes, nose, and mouth to create scary, happy, or wacky faces. Don’t forget to add a green stem to complete your pumpkin!
Happy Halloween!

Whether it is discussing care options, setting up advanced directives, or exploring financial planning resources, this month is a reminder that preparation brings peace of mind. By addressing these important decisions now, seniors and their loved ones can look forward to a more comfortable and secure future. National Long-Term Care Planning Month serves as a gentle reminder that thoughtful planning today can help ensure comfort, confidence, and peace of mind for tomorrow.

October is Emotional Wellness Month, a time to focus on caring for your mental and emotional health. It is also worth noting that October also has World Mental Health Day, a reminder that mental well-being is essential at every stage of life. Mental health is just as important as physical health. It shapes how we think, feel, and act each day. It also influences how we manage stress, connect with others, and make decisions in challenging moments.
Here are three simple ways to support your mental well-being:
1. Make Time for Self-Care: Little moments of joy can make a big difference. Read a good book, take a walk, listen to music, practice mindfulness, or enjoy a favorite hobby. Activities that bring relaxation and fulfillment can boost your mood and restore balance.
2. Stay Connected: Strong social connections are essential for emotional health. Spend time with family and friends, share meaningful conversations, and seek out community. Feeling connected helps ease loneliness and provides encouragement during difficult times.
3. Support Your Body to Support Your Mind: Your physical and mental health go hand in hand. Aim for regular exercise, a balanced diet, and plenty of rest. Moving your body releases feel-good endorphins, healthy foods fuel your brain, and good sleep keeps emotions steady.
Remember that mental health improvement is an ongoing process. This October, take time to nurture your emotional wellness and encourage loved ones to do the same. If challenges ever feel overwhelming, reach out to a trusted professional for guidance and support.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to focus on education, early detection, and support.
When found early, breast cancer can often be treated successfully.
Be mindtul of changes such as new lumps, swelling, dimpling, redness, nipple discharge, or pain.
While changes may not indicate cancer, it is strongly recommended that you check with your physician.
Regular self-exams, clinical exams, and mammograms are important:
• Women 40-49 should talk with their physician about when to begin screening.
• Women 50-74 at average risk should have a mammogram
every two years.
• Mammogram Day, the third Friday in October, is a reminder to schedule your screening.
Prevention steps include staying active, keeping a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, not smoking, and keeping up with routine check-ups.
Show your support this month by wearing pink. Wear Pink Day is October 25 this year and many people take part in “Wear Pink Wednesdays.” It is a simple way to honor survivors, remember loved ones, and spread awareness.

We can all Recognize the signs.
Heart attacks look and feel different in women than they do in men. Both men and women may feel chest pain when having a heart attack, but women are more likely to also experience shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, and pain in the back, neck, or jaw.
Heart attack symptoms may include:
* Chest pain or discomfort, usually in the center or left side of the chest, that lasts for more than a few minutes or that goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
* Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or backing
* Feeling weak, light-headed, faint, or a cold sweat.
* Shortness of breath.
* Pain or discomfort in one or both arms or shoulders.
Be safe, not sorry. Many heart attacks start slowly with relatively mild pain.
Make an agreement with loved ones that you will call 911 as soon as anyone experiences any of the signs of a heart attack.
Keep a record of what medicines your loved ones are taking, what medicines they’re allergic to, and who they want contacted in case of an emergency.
Being prepared now may just save a life later.
