November is National Family Caregivers Month—a time to recognize those who give of themselves daily in quiet, steadfast service to loved ones. This year’s theme, Plug-in to Care, invites all to reflect on the power of connection to trusted resources, to supportive networks like Benedictine and to knowledge that lightens the load. This November, Benedictine honors caregivers for their resilience, compassion and unwavering love.

November is Care at Home Month—a time to pause and recognize the quiet strength and compassion of those who serve others where healing begins: at home.

This year’s theme, One Voice for Care At Home, reminds us of the many ways care is offered—through home health, hospice, palliative care and Medicaid HCBS. Each voice, each act of service, contributes to a chorus of dignity, comfort and hope.

Let us give thanks for the caregivers, staff and volunteers who walk alongside these special people in their home.

It’s Movember at Windermere Way!
We’ll find any excuse to have fun, and this past Thursday was no exception! Residents celebrated “Grow a Mo Day” at Happy Hour with mustaches, laughter, and a whole lot of silliness. 🍕🍪 Cheers to a great cause and even better company!

Did you know that over 136 million Americans are living with diabetes or prediabetes?
This November, as we observe American Diabetes Month, we are invited to pause, reflect, respond with care and work toward a future free from the burdens of diabetes. Every act of kindness, every moment of advocacy, every step toward awareness matters.

This November, we pause to reflect during Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. Let us come together to raise awareness of dementia. Millions of individuals and families walk this path each day—with courage, grace and love. Together, we can build a world that sees, supports and uplifts those affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia.

🎃🕺 Our residents had a graveyard smash doing the Monster Mash! 👻
Decked out in spooky specs and full of Halloween spirit, they danced their hearts out (while seated, of course).
Proof that you're never too old to have a little monster fun!

👻 Guess Who?
Our staff got into the Halloween spirit early with some ghostly disguises!
Each one is dressed in spooky style, and now it’s up to our residents to figure out who’s who under the sheets.
Just a little pre-Halloween fun to get us in the spirit!
