While Teddy Heart doesn’t look forward to Mondays, imagine losing track of what day it is…
That’s what can happen for someone living with dementia. The disease may cause confusion about the day, time of day, or even the current year—often leaving them feeling stuck in past times, which can lead to disorientation and anxiety.

If your loved one has been diagnosed with dementia and could use cuing, reminders, companionship, and help around the house, give us a call. Touching Hearts at Home offers safety, supervision, and compassionate dementia care.
📞 We’re here for you: (315) 503-4896 or send us a message right here on Facebook to learn more and schedule support for your loved one.

✨ November Care Partner of the Month: Jenn Verrillo ✨
We are so proud to celebrate Jenn as our November Care Partner of the Month here at Touching Hearts at Home Syracuse — and if you’ve ever met her, you already know why. 💛

Jenn has been part of our team for nearly two years, and in that time she’s brought her patient, empathetic, and loyal spirit into every home she enters. Her favorite part of caregiving is meeting new people, hearing their stories, and being a warm, trusted friend when someone’s world feels a little smaller.

From sharing meals and organizing together to visiting cat cafés, Jenn creates moments of joy wherever she goes. One of her favorite memories? Driving along the Onondaga Parkway with her 92-year-old client, windows down, wind in their hair, laughing as she proudly called them “wild women” — a nod to her younger days in Italy. It’s a moment Jenn will never forget… and neither will we. 🌬️💛

Outside of work, Jenn teaches yoga and recently completed her 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training, along with certifications in Chair/Senior Yoga and Trauma-Informed Yoga. She hopes to bring more of that calming, restorative care to her clients in the future. When she’s not caregiving or teaching, you’ll find her adventuring outdoors with her two dogs — Diesel the Husky and Claire Bear the Great Pyrenees — or cuddling up with her sweet gray cats, Mabel and Gladys. 🐾

Jenn, thank you for the compassion, laughter, and genuine connection you bring to the older adults we serve. We are so grateful for you and the way you help our clients stay safe, supported, and surrounded by heart. 💛
