🌿 You love them. But what happens when they begin to need you more than ever?

Caring for aging parents is one of life’s greatest honors — and one of its greatest challenges.

That’s why The Philomena and Kyle Area Senior Zone are hosting Aging with Grace, a 3-part educational series designed for adult children navigating memory changes, diagnoses, care options, and planning ahead.

Whether you’re just starting to notice changes… or already walking through difficult decisions… this series is for you.

✨ SESSION 1 – Understanding Levels of Care
📅 March 2 | 6–7 PM | KASZ

✨ SESSION 2 – When Dementia Enters the Picture
📅 April 6 | 6–7 PM | KASZ

✨ SESSION 3 – Planning Ahead with Peace of Mind
📅 May 4 | 6–7 PM | The Philomena

This series is perfect for anyone who:
• Is noticing memory changes in a parent
• Has received a recent diagnosis
• Feels overwhelmed navigating care options
• Wants to plan ahead — not react later

🎟️ Space is limited.
Don’t wait until there’s a crisis.

Let’s walk this journey with grace — together. 💚

Students from Simon Middle School dropped off handmade Valentine’s Day cards for our residents, and let me tell you… they were absolutely PRECIOUS! 🥰

Our residents were so touched by the thoughtful messages, colorful designs, and kind words. There’s something so special about seeing different generations connect in such a heartfelt way. The smiles in the room said it all!

Thank you to the students and staff at Simon Middle School for spreading love and brightening our community. You truly made our day! ❤️✨

🎭 Mardi Gras Crawl & Parade 🎺
📅 February 17 | 1:00–4:00 PM

You’re invited to a fun, upbeat, and informative Mardi Gras experience designed especially for community members who want to learn about services they may need in the future.

This event is geared toward those who are planning ahead—whether for themselves, a spouse, a parent, or a loved one—and want to better understand care options before a need becomes urgent.

Life can change in an instant—a fall, a surgery, a new diagnosis—and suddenly the question becomes, “Now what?”
Our goal is to remove fear and uncertainty by helping you explore your options in a positive, non-scary, and welcoming environment.

As you crawl (and parade!) from stop to stop, you’ll experience what different levels of care truly look and feel like:

🏥 Inpatient Rehab

🏡 Nursing Homes

🌼 Assisted Living & Memory Care

❤️ The full continuum of care—from Home Health to Hospice

This event is all about education, empowerment, and peace of mind, wrapped in Mardi Gras fun, music, and community connection.
