Medicare Open Enrollment ends THIS SATURDAY, Dec. 7!

This is your last chance to review or change your Medicare plans.

While you’re thinking about coverage, look into Medicare’s new GUIDE Program—a pilot model designed specifically to support dementia caregivers with resources like care navigation, respite services, and 24/7 support. 🧠

⚠️ A quick tip: The GUIDE program can be tricky to find on official websites—if your first search doesn’t pull it up, don’t give up! Try searching “GUIDE Model CMS” or ask your doctor’s office directly.

👉 Take two steps today:

1. Visit Medicare.gov or call 1-800-MEDICARE before Saturday.
2. Check the link in my bio to see a simple guide on how to check GUIDE program eligibility and find participating providers.

You’re doing vital work—make sure you have the support and coverage you deserve. 🩷

Ever dread the “who is this?” moment when looking at family photos? 📸

I know that feeling. That anxiety of quizzing your loved one can cast a shadow over what should be a joyful, connecting moment. This is a huge reason why I LOVE MemoryBoard!💜💜💜

Think of it as your family’s private, photo stream, designed for connection—not recall.

➡️ The Whole Family Joins In: With a simple phone app, everyone can send photos anytime! It keeps your loved one’s world feeling present, connected, and loved.

➡️ Tags Replace Quizzing: Add names or nicknames as tags to photos. A gentle, always-visible prompt that whispers “that’s your granddaughter, Mia,” removing the pressure to remember and bringing the focus back to the story and the love!! 💕

➡️ More Than Reminders: It turns daily prompts into visual reminders. A nudge to feed the dog can be sent beside a photo of their sweet pets face to help your person stay independent longer!

Sharing my friends at the Day By Day Project and their Giving Tuesday campaign!

Music doesn't forget.

Even when dementia takes memories, language, and recognition—music remains. It reaches the parts of the brain that dementia can't touch.

That's why Memory Disco works. Silent disco headphones. Personalized playlists. Evidence-based results.

This Giving Tuesday, help by Day Project bring the healing power of music to more memory care facilities.

Donate here today 💙 https://www.daybydayproject.org/donate

Help financially support our efforts to bring Music Therapy to these amazing people!
