Butterfly Moments: August 12th Edition: Creating Care That Feels Like Home

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

💡 This Week’s Focus: 💡 Turning Care Into Connection

Care isn’t just about tasks and to-do lists—it’s about moments. The giggles shared over morning coffee. The quiet hand squeeze that says “I’m here.” The activities that create joy & connection for staff, residents, and families alike.

This week, we’re exploring ways to turn everyday care into meaningful connection—whether at home, in a care facility, or within a community setting.

💡 Ask yourself: What’s one small thing I can do this week to make someone feel truly seen?

We had the honor of serving the residents and staff at Palms Care Center during a Lemonade Social last week. Our favorite part was creating connection and bringing joy to everyone a hot summer afternoon.

📚 Understanding Hospice: Taking the First Step Sooner

Families often tell us they wish they had known about hospice sooner. Starting the conversation early isn’t about giving up—it’s about:

✔ Creating a clear plan so everyone feels supported

✔ Reducing unnecessary ER visits and hospital stays

✔ Making sure comfort and dignity guide every decision

💡 For administrators and referral sources:
Inviting us to provide a Hospice 101 session for your staff can equip your team with tools and confidence to guide families during difficult decisions.

😊 Happiness & Inspiration: 3 Ways to Spread Joy This Week

1️⃣ Celebrate a Small Win – Recognize one positive moment in your day or week and share it with someone else.

2️⃣ Add a Splash of Color – Fresh flowers, bright napkins, or a fun highlighter like our hot pink ones instantly lift spirits.

3️⃣ Make a Connection Minute – Spend 60 seconds in genuine conversation with someone you serve or a collegue. You never know what a difference 60 seconds can make until you’re the one having the challenging day and someone offers you that extra time and attention.

Thought of the Week:

"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." – Aesop
