💜 Hospice Insight: Supporting Dementia Patients in Autumn

Fall can become a comforting season for patients with dementia.

Familiar seasonal scents, soft lighting, and cozy textures can help reduce overstimulation and promote calm.

Tips for caregivers this season:

  • Use soft blankets and warm lighting to create a soothing environment.

  • Play familiar music or nature sounds.

  • Offer seasonal treats with familiar flavors (like cinnamon or apple).

  • Keep routines consistent to reduce confusion.

Our Dementia Specialty Program offers tools like customized music, comfort items, and legacy projects to support both patients and caregivers.

💼 For Facility Partners:


💡 Ask us about our dementia-friendly tools and staff training sessions.

📣 Referral CTA: If you’re caring for residents with advanced dementia, we offer non-pharmacological interventions and caregiver education—refer today for a consultation.

😊Caregiver Corner: Fall Wellness Tips

Autumn is a great time to recharge. Here are a few simple ways caregivers can care for themselves:

  • Take a walk in nature and enjoy the changing colors.

  • Sip something warm and soothing—tea, cider, or even a pumpkin spice latte!

  • Journal one thing you're grateful for each day.

  • Connect with others—don’t carry the weight alone.

You give so much. Let this season give something back to you.

“Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.”
