Butterfly Moments: September 2nd Edition: Special Focus: Dementia Care + 24/7 Hospice Support

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

This Week’s Focus: 🌟 Dementia Care with Heart

Dementia touches not only patients but families, caregivers, and entire communities. At AseraCare, we recognize the unique challenges of dementia and Alzheimer’s care—unsettled behaviors, pain, nutritional needs, and caregiver stress.

That’s why we offer our Dementia Specialty Program, designed to:


✔ Educate on evidence-based best practices.
✔ Use non-pharmacological approaches to reduce symptoms.
✔ Provide families and circles of support with clear guidance on disease progression.
✔ Improve comfort, dignity, and quality of life for both patients and caregivers.

💡 For administrators and referral sources:
This program can ease staff stress, reduce avoidable hospitalizations, and provide families with greater peace of mind. Ask us how we can bring this specialized hospice support to your facility or residents.

📚 Hospice Insight: When to Call for Dementia

Many families don’t realize that dementia patients are eligible for hospice care. Some signs it may be time to consider hospice include:

  • Increased agitation or restlessness.

  • Declining ability to eat or drink.

  • Frequent infections or hospitalizations.

  • Needing help with most daily activities.

📞 If you’re unsure, remember: Our team is available 24/7—including holidays—for consultations, questions, and admissions.

😊 Happiness & Inspiration: September Fresh Start

🍂 September is a season of new beginnings—an invitation to pause, reset, and bring simple joys into daily life.

3 Ways to Reset This Week:


1️⃣ Take a Gratitude Walk – Notice small joys around you. The changing leaves🍂🍂, the slightly cooler temps 🤞, a smile from a stranger…


2️⃣ Try Something New – A song, a recipe, or a hobby.

3️⃣ Celebrate Progress – Small steps still move you forward.

"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."

– Dr. Seuss
