Loneliness and isolation aren’t “just part of aging.” The rise of AI-driven care-companion tools for seniors is changing that — offering support, conversation, and a sense of connection when family or caregivers aren’t around. According to a recent article from U.S. News & World Report, these AI companions can help older adults stick to routines, stay mentally engaged, and find daily companionship — without replacing human care.

Residents of Stonington Arms in Pawcatuck, Connecticut were treated to a live Birds of Prey Presentation in September — and it was unforgettable.

The Denison Pequotsepos team brought four live birds of prey, giving our residents a rare chance to see these powerful creatures up close. They shared fascinating facts about:

▶ How different birds hunt
▶ What they eat
▶ How they raise their young
▶ The unique behaviors of various hawks and owls

The room was filled with excitement, curiosity, and plenty of “wow” moments as each bird made its appearance. And the best part? Denison Pequotsepos will be returning soon — this time with reptiles!

Black Friday is around the corner — and it’s not just for doorbusters or long lines! Here are smart ways for seniors to shop confidently, save money, and stay safe.

Top tips for seniors this Black Friday:
✅ Do your homework: Check price history and deals in advance so you know what’s actually a bargain.
✅ Have a budget list: Focus on what you truly need — smart devices, wellness tools, or upgrades that support your lifestyle.
✅ Avoid big crowds: Consider online shopping or go during quieter hours to skip stress and fatigue.
✅ Don’t fall for the hype: Some “crazy deals” might not be great value — skip items like big-bulk perishables or brand-new tech models without safe reviews.
✅ Choose safety first: Use trusted websites, secure payment methods, and set up any alerts or receipts so you’re protected from scams.
✅ Focus on meaningful buys: Health tools, comfortable home upgrades, connection gadgets — these often offer more value than flashy impulse buys.

Heads-up: Valid deals exist NOW — so start browsing and comparing prices early!

Across the country, the affordable housing shortage is growing — and older adults are the ones feeling the strain the most. A smile, a safe home, a sense of stability… your compassion can help restore all of it for a senior in need.

Right now, the U.S. is short 7.3 million affordable rental homes, and one-third of older adults are spending over half their income just to stay housed. For seniors living on limited, fixed incomes, even a small unexpected expense — a medical bill, an increase in rent, a higher utility cost — can push them into crisis.

EHDOC was created to stand in that gap. Through income-based housing and critical emergency assistance, we help seniors remain in their homes, stay connected to care, and maintain dignity as they age. Your generosity makes this possible — helping fund rent support, transportation, wellness programs, and urgent relief for seniors across our communities.

No senior should ever have to choose between safety, stability, and survival. Your gift can bring real comfort and hope to someone who needs it most.
