Butterfly Moments: September 16th Edition: Creating Calm in the Chaos

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

🌿 This Week’s Focus: Creating Calm in the Chaos

In care settings, chaos can unintentionally creep in—through busy schedules, things going on in our external world and in the news, emotional moments, or unexpected changes.

This week, we’re focusing on how small, intentional actions can restore calm and connection.

💡 Try this: At shift change or during your morning check-in, ask : “What’s one thing that brought you peace today?” Sharing these moments builds resilience and reminds us of the impact we make.

💡 For administrators and referral sources:
Ask us about our Happiness Formula for Caregivers in-service—great for reducing burnout and boosting morale.

🌟 Meet the Team Tuesday! 🌟 

Say hello to 🦋Maria- one of our RN Case Managers

Maria is one of our incredible RN Case Managers here at AseraCare Hospice, and her heart for care shines through in everything she does.

When we asked her what she loves most about her role, she didn’t hesitate:

✨ Spending quality time directly with patients and their families. It’s those moments of presence, comfort, and connection that make hospice care so meaningful. 🦋

Maria is the type of person who brings ease to the moments that feel chaotic with a simple plan, quick action, and a giant smile.

We are grateful to have her as part of the AseraCare Fresno Team.

😊 Happiness & Wellbeing Tips

Quick Calm Boosters for You, Your Team, or Residents:

1️⃣ Breath Break – Pause for 3 deep breaths together before a meeting or meal.

2️⃣ Mini Music Moment – Play a calming song in the background during care routines.

3️⃣ Joy Jar – Invite staff to write down one joyful moment each day and read them aloud weekly.

“Peace begins with a smile.”
