Progress > perfection. 💛 This week, pick one small step: organize meds, review a care plan, or simply share a smile. Little wins add up for our elders.

Not sure where to start? Our team can help—dakotaguardian.org.

Today we’re celebrating the little wins that add up: a safe ride to a doctor’s visit, a warm cup of coffee shared, a laugh that lightened the day. 💛

3️⃣ Loss of interest in hobbies or things once enjoyed
4️⃣ Sudden mood swings or irritability
5️⃣ Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
6️⃣ Extreme worry, fear, or guilt

8️⃣ Changes in appetite or weight
9️⃣ Trouble managing daily responsibilities or personal care
🔟 Hearing, seeing, or believing things that others don’t (hallucinations/delusions)
