☀️ July is UV Safety Awareness Month — a good reminder to check in on how we’re protecting ourselves and our loved ones from the sun.

As we age, skin becomes more sensitive, and certain medications can increase sun sensitivity. Wearing long sleeves, using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and avoiding the sun during peak hours can help prevent serious sun damage.

Even small changes can help older adults enjoy time outside more safely and comfortably this summer. How are you staying sun-safe this season?

It’s easy to overlook, but one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging is something we do every day: Talking. 💬

Harvard research shows that regular conversation actually stimulates the hippocampus — the part of the brain that supports memory and learning.
Not only does it strengthen cognitive health, but it also helps reduce feelings of isolation and anxiety.

So whether it’s chatting over tea, reminiscing about the past, or just checking in — these everyday moments of connection truly matter.

Sometimes the best care starts with a simple conversation.

**Employee Spotlight**
Wren Garcia - Caregiver at Happier at Home

This month, we’re excited to feature Wren Garcia, a dedicated caregiver and kindergarten teacher with 22 years of experience at Fruitland Elementary. Wren lives in Fruitland with her husband, Andy, and their three daughters, and while teaching is her primary passion, she’s also found joy in her new role as a caregiver over the past five months.

Wren loves helping others and bringing a little sunshine to their day. Her favorite part of caregiving is listening to stories and looking at sweet photos. She believes this role is a natural extension of her teaching career, where she’s always strived to uplift those around her.

This summer has been especially rewarding for Wren, and we’re grateful for the warmth and care she brings to both her students and those she serves as a caregiver at Happier at Home.
