Supporting You, One Moment at a Time

Butterfly Moments: July 29th Edition: Because the work you do—and the love you give—deserves support, inspiration, and a moment to breathe.

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

💡 This Week’s Focus: Creating Moments That Make People Feel Seen

Whether you’re a caregiver, an administrator, a family member, or a team member supporting the aging community, there’s one universal truth: everyone wants to feel seen, valued, and heard.

This week, we’re highlighting how something as simple as a puzzle piece or a lemonade treat can do just that. Keep reading for ideas you can apply today to bring a sense of peace, engagement, or even a smile into the lives of the important people all around you.

🧩 Purpose-Driven Programming That Works

Recent Highlights from the our week in the Central Valley

🍋 Lemonade Social at Nazareth House
We served up Blue Raspberry Lemonade to the incredible nursing and CNA staff—because sometimes a small gesture of appreciation makes a big impact. A cold drink. A moment to connect. A chance to breathe.

🧠 Cedarbrook Memory Care: Puzzle Creations with Heart
Residents co-created a custom puzzle as part of a memory care engagement activity. Each puzzle is hand-drawn by our Community Engagement Coordinator for the individual audience- which they get to keep. The results? Laughter, storytelling, cognitive skills, and a sense of purpose that carried well beyond the activity itself.

💡 Want to bring one of these experiences to your facility? We’re currently booking August events from our Community Engagement Menu. (Details below!)

📚 Understanding Hospice: What We Wish More People Knew

We often hear, “We wish we’d known about hospice sooner.”

Why? Because hospice is about living with more comfort, more connection, and less worry.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:
✔️ 24/7 support for both patients and families
✔️ A care plan centered on what matters most to the patient
✔️ Emotional, spiritual, and physical care—all under one umbrella
✔️ Services delivered wherever the patient calls home

💡 For leaders and administrators:
We offer Hospice 101 sessions that take the confusion out of the process while empowering your staff to support families/residents/patients with confidence and care.

😊 Well-Being & Joy: Tiny Shifts That Change the Day

What if joy was just one question away?

This week, ask someone around you:
👉 “What’s something that brought you joy today?”

Then listen. Share it. Celebrate it. These tiny connections create culture.

💡 Ideas to bring this to life:

Create a “Joy Wall” in your breakroom
Kick off your next team meeting with a “one moment of joy” . Set a 5 min timer and have each person go around sharing something that brought them joy in the last 24 hours
Invite us to host a Happiness Formula Session with our Certified Happiness Trainer

Thought of the Week:

The best way to show someone they matter is to truly notice them.
