Butterfly Moments: September 9th Edition: Uplifting All Who Care—Assisted Living Week & Beyond

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

This Week’s Focus: 🌟 Celebrating All Who Create Comfort

This week, we join care communities across the country in celebrating National Assisted Living Week—a time to honor the caregivers, residents, and teams who bring comfort, dignity, love, and joy to daily life.

Whether you're part of an assisted living team, a skilled nursing facility, a family home, or a hospice partner, we want to take the time to recognize and appreciate the essential role you play in creating meaningful moments in the lives of those you serve.

💡 For administrators and referral sources:
Consider hosting a “Caregiver Appreciation Moment” this week—just 10 minutes to share gratitude, stories, or a small treat. We’re happy to help facilitate with something like our Chilled Apple Cider or provide printed materials such as our Monthly Quiz!

Blue Raspberry Lemonade + Beautiful Connections

We had the sweetest time at NeuroRestorative during our recent Blue Raspberry Lemonade Social!

From learning about the some of the residents’ incredible backgrounds in citrus farming to connecting with the caring staff and sharing the gift of hospice, this visit was filled with heart, history, and meaningful moments.

These socials are more than just drinks—they’re about building relationships, honoring stories, and bringing peace and education to the community around the topic of hospice.

Now Booking: Chilled Apple Cider Socials!

Our September feature is already a hit—Chilled Apple Cider served with coziness, conversation, and smiles. We still have a few openings this month, so let’s bring some fall flavor and heartfelt connection to your community next!

🌟 Meet the Team Tuesday! 🌟 

Say hello to Hayley- one of our incredible nurses! 💗🦋

If you’ve seen a pop of pink lately, it might be Hayley or one of our amazing team members in our new pink AseraCare shirts! These cheerful tees—and our new pink admission binders—are part of how we bring joy and warmth to those we serve.

💡 Why Pink & Butterflies?
They’re symbols of transformation, comfort, and care. When you see pink or a butterfly, think of AseraCare—bringing heart to hospice, one moment at a time.

😊 Happiness & Wellbeing Tips
Small Joys, Big Impact- Try one of these this week to uplift your team or residents:

1️⃣ Memory Lane Moments – Invite residents to share a favorite memory from childhood or a past job.

2️⃣ Kindness Chain – Start a chain of compliments—each person passes one on to someone else.

3️⃣ Gratitude Pause – At shift change, ask “What’s one thing that went well today?”

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word… all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

– Leo Buscaglia
