Resident Spotlight: Meet Ruth! Ruth used to be a tractor pull competitor! Her husband Jerry talked her into doing it. She started competing when she was in her thirties. The women would compete on Friday nights and the men would compete on Saturdays. Ruth says she has won many trophies, and she has only lost 1 race since competing! On Ruth's first competition, she got her Oliver tractor stuck in the mud. Ruth and Jerry competed for about 6 years.

What does real memory care actually look like — and could it be the greatest act of love you give someone? In this heartfelt episode, host Dawn Platt sits down with Danielle, a daughter navigating one of the most difficult decisions a family can face: whether to transition her 84-year-old father, a retired NYPD officer with Alzheimer's, into a memory care community.

Dawn pulls back the curtain on Discovery Senior Living's GLOW Memory Care Program — a comprehensive, science-backed approach that goes far beyond basic care. From personalized programming rooted in each resident's unique life story, to specialized dining techniques, music therapy, legacy preservation, and 24/7 family collaboration, GLOW is redefining what it means to truly support someone living with dementia. If you've ever wondered how to honor the person your loved one has always been while keeping them safe, engaged, and deeply connected, this episode is for you.

Love Story: Meet John and Elaine! These two recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary! They met on a blind date in 1958 near Hartford, CT. John made the first move asking for a second date and of course, she said yes! The secret to a successful marriage? "Be your own person and be willing to give and take a little." "When we first met, you can say we were the true meaning of opposites, but here we are 66 years later...Opposites really do attract!" John said his favorite thing about Elaine is that she very social and has a happy spirit. Elaine says, "I love that John is very patient and determined." We love the love that these two have! 'sDay

When dementia enters a marriage, the relationship you've built together begins to shift in ways you never anticipated. You're still partners, but the dynamics are changing — and so are you.

For this second episode of our February series on Love, Loss, and Connection, we're bringing back an important conversation with host Dawn Platt as she explores what it means to care for a spouse living with dementia. She shares practical guidance on adapting to your evolving roles, maintaining your own well-being amid the demands of caregiving, and working through the challenges that arise along the way.

Whether you're newly navigating this journey or have been walking this path for a while, this conversation offers both insight and solidarity as we examine how dementia reshapes our closest relationships, and how those bonds endure.
