Is your loved one feeling confused about what time of day it is? 🕰️
For those with dementia, staying oriented can be tough—but the right environment and cues can make a big difference.

Here are a few simple yet powerful ways to help them stay in sync with the day:
☀️ Bright light in the morning, soft light at night
🎶 Play sounds that match the time—birds in the morning, calm music at night
📅 Keep meals and activities on a regular schedule
🕓 Use clocks with sun/moon symbols
🗣️ Offer gentle verbal cues like “It’s bedtime now, you’ve had a lovely day.

Many people think only seniors need to have a power of attorney (POA) for health care or for finances. The truth is, they're important for adults of any age. Life is unpredictable, and having a POA will ensure that your wishes are honored even when you cannot express them yourself.

Outdoor spaces hold decades of memories for older adults, from backyard barbecues to quiet garden mornings. Instead of asking them to let go of these cherished places due to safety concerns, let’s ask: How can we help them continue to enjoy the spaces they love, safely and confidently?

Barby Keel, a 90-year-old Englishwoman, has spent over five decades rescuing animals from abuse and abandonment, saving more than 10,000 lives through her sanctuary in Sussex, UK. Her journey began in the 1970s with a single dog and gradually expanded to a 12-acre haven housing over 600 animals, including cats, pigs, horses, and chickens. Despite her age and having battled cancer three times, Keel remains deeply committed to her mission, working daily with the help of volunteers and refusing to retire. Her unwavering dedication even led her to end a relationship when asked to choose between her partner and her animals—she chose the animals without hesitation.

Scott, a caregiver with Right At Home South Dakota, has gone above and beyond in supporting his client, Alex. While Scott provides essential daily care like personal support, homemaking, and errands, his role has grown into something truly extraordinary. He is helping Alex train for the 2028 Paralympics in swimming! From day one, Scott embraced Alex’s dream as his own, showing up with encouragement, consistency, and a heart full of purpose.

Scott has become more than a caregiver—he’s a coach, advocate, and friend. He lifts Alex up on hard days, reminds him of his goals, and educates others on how to support Alex’s journey. When asked what’s been most rewarding, Scott shared, “I didn’t know what to expect when I came into Alex’s house and he told me he had a dream to reach the Paralympics. It’s been unbelievable to see someone so driven and confident. Every day, he is committed to living life. He’s been more important to me in my life than I have been to him. My two passions are helping people and sports, and this combines both. Every day doesn’t feel like a job. I’m literally training a guy for the Paralympics!”

Right at Home South Dakota is honored to sponsor Alex’s journey to the 2028 Paralympics. This is what caregiving at its best looks like: purpose-driven, heart-led, and life-changing. 💙
