Our office is closed today in observance of Juneteenth.

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free.

This day came to be known as Juneteenth, now officially a federal holiday. Juneteenth is a time to celebrate, gather as a family, reflect on the past and look to the future. https://nmaahc.si.edu/juneteenth

Joy, meaning, and purpose can easily get overlooked as we age or live with a difficult diagnosis. We know how critical it is to stay engaged at every stage of life.

Our Creative Engagement program is a person-centered evidence-based practice. We tailor engagement to the interests and strengths of each client.

This direct quote from a 🌞delighted client🌞 to her Creative Engagement Specialist is an example of that. This joyful exclamation was shared following an outing to the Seattle Art Museum to enjoy the latest exhibit, complete with a visit to the gift shop.

It's essential for solo agers to actively plan for their future, considering aspects like healthcare, housing, and social connections. Aging alone presents unique challenges that can impact both social health and well-being.

To address these challenges, solo agers should proactively plan and build a strong support network of friends, community resources, and professionals.

Navigating the future can feel uncertain—but you don’t have to do it alone. https://agingwisdom.com/youre-not-alone-thriving-while-aging-solo/
