Butterfly Moments: October 7th Edition: Comfort, Connection, Community

Featuring the 🦋Butterfly of Transformation in Our Logo- where our care transforms as your loved ones’ needs transform.

🌿 🍁 A Season of Change, A Season of Care

October reminds us that change can be beautiful. Just as leaves turn and butterflies migrate, we too move through seasons of life.

At AseraCare, we walk alongside our patients and families with warmth, dignity, and support—especially during times of transition.

🦋 Let’s embrace this season together.
If you’re caring for someone who may benefit from extra comfort, emotional support, or end-of-life guidance, our hospice team is here to help.

📞 Reach out today to learn how we can support your residents, families, and care teams with compassionate, personalized care.

💜 Hospice Insight: Supporting Adults with Intellectual Disabilities

Hospice care for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) requires a gentle, personalized approach.

Our team is trained to provide sensory-friendly comfort, clear communication, and emotional support tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Did you know?
We will be at the CVRC Bridging Horizons Conference this week. Come by and say hello.

💡 Administrator Tip: Ask us about our IDD-friendly hospice services and caregiver education resources.

🧡 Happiness & Caregiver Wellness Tips

🌟 1. Try a “One-Minute Joy Pause”

Take 60 seconds to do something that makes you smile—listen to a favorite song clip, look at a photo you love, or step outside for a breath of fresh air.

🍂 2. Create a Comfort Corner

Designate a small space with cozy items like a soft blanket, calming scents, or a gratitude journal. Use it for quick resets during your day.

☕ 3. Sip with Intention

Turn your coffee or tea break into a mini mindfulness moment. Feel the warmth, notice the flavor, and take three deep breaths before returning to your tasks.

“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”

– Jim Bishop
