DONATIONS OF GOODS NEEDED
💜 A Call From the Heart — Let’s Care for Those Who Once Cared for Us💜
At Bechtol Chiropractic & Wellness Center, we have been asked to help a very special group of patients at Solaris Memory Care — individuals living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, many of whom no longer have family members able to tend to them.
This donation drive is being held on behalf of our dear patient and friend, Mr. Richard, whose journey has touched our hearts deeply and reminded us how much love and compassion matter during this season of life.
As Alzheimer’s and dementia progress, the brain loses its ability to interpret the world the way it once did. Familiar faces, places, and routines can become confusing or even frightening. What does remain is the need for comfort, safety, dignity, and human connection.
You may wonder why items like blankets, baby dolls, and stuffed animals are so important:
• Tactile comfort calms the nervous system. Soft blankets and stuffed animals provide warmth and grounding, helping reduce anxiety and agitation.
• Holding something familiar creates security. Many patients instinctively seek items that bring a sense of safety and peace.
• Baby dolls and stuffed animals offer emotional reassurance. For some, caring for a doll fulfills an innate need to nurture, love, and feel purposeful.
• Button-down clothing preserves dignity. Easy-on, easy-off clothing reduces frustration, discomfort, and stress for both patients and caregivers.
Many residents spend long periods in wheelchairs or sitting throughout the day. A simple blanket across their lap, something soft to hold, or clothing that doesn’t cause distress can truly change the quality of their day.
❤️ How you can help??
We are asking our local community, patients, friends, and families to donate:
✔️ New blankets (lap-sized or wheelchair-friendly)
✔️ New stuffed animals or baby dolls
✔️ Button-down clothing for men and women (easy to put on and remove)
Drop-off Location:
Bechtol Chiropractic & Wellness Center -
3845 Beck Blvd Suite 807 Naples, Florida 34114
All donated items will be delivered directly to Solaris Memory Care.
Many of these individuals feel forgotten, but they still feel love, comfort, and kindness. They still deserve to be seen and cared for.
It truly takes a village — to raise our children and to care for our elderly.
If shopping locally isn’t an option, we will be sharing Amazon links for easy ordering and donation.
✨ Let’s honor Mr. Richard.
✨ Let’s show these residents they are not forgotten.
✨ Let’s be the village.
Thank you for giving from the heart and helping us make a difference. 💜
