So thrilled to hear of the amazing work Dr. Karen D. Sullivan with the Engaged Brain Project in Moore County. I love this initiative with dementia friendly community engagement. ❤️ Be sure to spread the word!

Summertime is synonymous with escaping the heat into the cool theater to catch a movie with friends with a bucket of hot, buttered popcorn and a bubbling, ice-cold soda. Memories like those carefree summer days are what Sunrise Theater and The Engaged Brains Project hope to evoke for attendees livin...

📖✨ Every life holds a story worth preserving. ✨📖

As we age, many of us feel the natural pull to look back — to reflect, make meaning, and share what we’ve learned. It’s not just storytelling — it’s an essential phase of aging called life review, and it can be healing, joyful, and deeply connecting.

We’re honored to now offer Memoir & Life Story Writing to help older adults capture their memories, values, and voice — creating a lasting gift for generations to come.

📦 Packages vary based on:
✔️ Length of the story
✔️ Inclusion of photos or media
✔️ Optional audio/video elements

💰 Sliding scale pricing available — because every story deserves to be told.

Let’s honor a life well lived — one page at a time. 💜

For years, “mini-stroke” (or TIA — transient ischemic attack) sounded like something small. But new research shows that even one TIA can cause lasting changes in how your brain works over time — including faster cognitive decline and a higher risk for stroke and dementia.

The symptoms may disappear in minutes, but your brain doesn’t just bounce back.

🧠 A TIA is a warning sign. And it’s not one to ignore.

🚑 Call 911 immediately if you or someone near you experiences:
• Sudden balance issues
• Vision changes
• Facial drooping
• Arm weakness or numbness
• Slurred or jumbled speech

Even if you “feel fine” afterward — get checked out. Early treatment can prevent a major stroke and protect your brain long-term.

When Your Parent Refuses Help: What Can You Do?

It’s one of the most painful positions to be in—watching your parent struggle while they reject any offer of help. You’re not alone, and there are ways to think through what to do next.

We recommend focusing on three key questions:
1. Is this self-neglect?
Are the challenges you’re observing serious enough that your parent’s health or safety is at real risk?
2. Is someone else being harmed?
For example, is your parent still driving dangerously or struggling to care for a spouse with complex needs?
3. Is it time for legal intervention?
If the risks are high and all efforts to help have failed, it may be time to explore options like guardianship—but that should be a last resort.

These are incredibly tough calls. We help families think through them with clarity, compassion, and respect for everyone involved.

📍 Need guidance? That’s what we’re here for.

When did you realize it was time to bring in some additional help and support in your care partner journey?
