💙 Clarity is Kindness: An Honest Conversation on Dementia Caregiving 💙

Caregiving in dementia support is often led by love—but sometimes instinct can get in the way of insight. This program invites families and care partners to gently reflect on patterns that may feel natural, but don’t always serve our loved ones where they are in their journey.

✨ Together we’ll explore:

✔ Why some “common sense” approaches may unintentionally cause distress
✔ How humility and curiosity can lead to more compassionate choices
✔ Real family stories that inspired this eye-opening conversation

If you’ve ever thought, “I was only trying to help,” this session is for you.

This is not about blame—it’s about love, understanding, and becoming the kind of care partners we aspire to be. Because when we know better, we love better. 💜

Please join us in congratulating Bettina on her first day as Assistant Clinical Services Director!

She’s been part of our family for over 4 years, and if you know Bettina, you know she brings compassion, laughter, dedication, and LOTS of heart to everything she does.

In true Chisholm style we had to mix in a little fun, so here’s a quick Q&A with Bettina!

⭐️ What inspired you to be a nurse?

I've always had a genuine desire to make a difference and care for/help others.
It's just something that's always felt natural to me.

⭐️ What’s a fun fact about you that most people don’t know?

I'm a HUGE Halloween fan! I absolutely Love dressing up in costumes – even if it's not actually Halloween ! I just love the whole creativity and imagination of it all. I would wear a costume every day if I could get away with it!

⭐️ What are you most excited about in this new role?

Offering a new perspective.
As a seasoned Resident Care Manager, I've spent a lot of time working directly with Residents and CNAs. I think my firsthand experience will bring a valuable perspective to the table. I'm eager to help organize things, assist in leadership, and brainstorm some great ideas.
