💧 Hydration is a care intervention, not a suggestion.
In memory care, residents won’t ask — we offer, we cue, we support.
Small sips prevent big problems.

🧠 Ever wondered about the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia?

They’re not the same. Dementia is a syndrome—a set of symptoms. Alzheimer’s is just one of several diseases that can cause it.

"Two Mothers Remembered" by Joann Snow Duncanson I had two mothers – two mothers I claim, two different people, yet with the same name. Two separate women, diverse by design, but I loved them both because they were mine. The first was the mother who carried me here, gave birth and nurtured and launched my career. She was the one whose features I bear, complete with the facial expressions I wear. She gave her love, which follows me yet, along with examples in life that she set. As I got older, she somehow younger grew, and we’d laugh as just mothers and daughters do. But then came the time that her mind clouded so, and I sensed that the mother I knew would soon go. So quickly she changed and turned into the other, a stranger dressed in the clothes of my mother. Oh, she looked the same, at least at arms length, but now she was the child and I was her strength. We’d come full circle, we women three, my mother the first, the second and me. And if my own children should come to a day, when a new mother comes and the old goes away, I’d ask of them nothing that I didn’t do. Love both of your mothers as both have loved you.
