🎖️ Honoring our veterans and the everyday heroes who support them

We were proud to join the annual VA Professional Summit & Caregiver Resource Fair with the Veterans Affairs Caregiver Support Program in Milwaukee & Northeast Wisconsin — a gathering of organizations united in serving those who served.

Here’s how we at St. Paul Elder Services are supporting veterans in our community:

• Through our VA-contracted services, eligible veterans can access our adult day program, Club Gabriel, offering meaningful social engagement and memory care support.
• Veterans may also qualify for services like transportation, bathing assistance, or in-home care through St. Paul at Home — often with no additional cost for those who meet eligibility.
• We continue to hear inspiring stories from veterans and caregivers impacted by these programs — reminders of why this mission matters so deeply.

As we move through this season of gratitude, we say thank you to our veterans, their families, and the associates and caregivers who make this work possible. We are honored to walk alongside you and to continue strengthening our partnership with the VA.

🙏 If you or someone you know is a veteran seeking support — whether adult day programming, in-home services, or simply information — we’re here to help.

🇺🇸 Honoring Our Veterans 🇺🇸
Today, we proudly gathered to honor the incredible veterans living at St. Paul Home and those staying in our Center of Rehabilitation, along with visiting veterans and volunteers who joined in the celebration.

We listened as they shared stories from their time in service, sang together to each branch’s anthem, and enjoyed patriotic treats prepared by our talented dining team. ❤️🤍💙

To all who have served — we thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your unwavering dedication to our nation. You are our heroes, today and every day.

✨ A day filled with reflection, gratitude, and connection ✨

Associates and volunteers were blessed with the opportunity to visit Holy Family Convent in Manitowoc, home of the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity.

This special visit offered a meaningful look into the Franciscan roots that inspire our mission at St. Paul Elder Services — tracing our history back to Clarks Mills, walking the peaceful convent grounds, exploring the chapels, and learning more about the Sisters’ life of faith and service.

It was a day of both learning and inspiration, reminding us that the compassion, dignity, and joy we strive to share each day are part of a legacy much greater than ourselves. 💜

🎗️ Honoring dignity. Embracing purpose. Supporting the journey. 🎗️

We’re proud to share a deeply moving story from the heart of the St. Paul Elder Services community: “Preserving Dignity and Purpose: A Caregiver’s Journey Through Memory Loss Support.”

Read how one daughter, Amy, found hope and partnership with our Memory Connections & Memory Reflections programs—enabling her mom to stay engaged, purposeful and joyful, even in the face of memory changes. Her story is a beautiful reminder: our Friends deserve meaningful lives, our Associates thrive when supported, and caring happens together.

👉 Read the full story here » https://stpaulelders.org/2025/11/03/preserving-dignity-and-purpose-a-caregivers-journey-through-memory-loss-support/

🔹 If you’re a family navigating memory loss and wondering what next steps look like…
🔹 If you’re part of our team and want to see how our culture of dignity is lived out in real ways…
🔹 If you’d simply like to share hope and encouragement with someone in need…

…this story is for you.

💬 We’d love to hear your reflections: What stood out to you in Amy and her mom’s journey? How do you define dignity, connection, and purpose in your own life? Let’s foster a conversation.

Thank you for being a part of the journey. Because every life matters. Every story matters. 💙

The Heart of Compassion: A Lifelong Legacy Long before memory changes began to reshape her world, Amy’s mother lived a life defined by faith and service. A lifelong Catholic, she was, as Amy describes, “a very, very service-oriented person” who always reached out to help others. “As long as ...

🎃💥 What. A. DAY! From morning trick-or-treating to our lively Halloween Happy Hour, we had an un-boo-lievably good time at St. Paul Elder Services! 👻💜

Our halls were buzzing with laughter (and a lot of sugar) as a local daycare, our SPES kids, and Friends’ families stopped by for trick-or-treating. 🍬 The costumes were adorable, the smiles were contagious, and the candy?—well, it disappeared faster than you can say “boo!”

And of course, Bella stole the show—rocking her pink dinosaur costume like the prehistoric princess she is. 🦖💗 She may not have the loudest roar, but she definitely had the biggest crowd of fans!

Thanks to everyone who made today such a monster mash of fun, friendship, and laughter! 🕸️🧡
