Shouting Out Our Exceptional Team
Simplify activities. Engage in simplified holiday activities that encourage participation without causing stress. Simple crafts, gentle music, and storytelling can be enjoyable and provide a sense of connection without overwhelming sensory input. Maintain consistency. Stick to familiar routines, as consistency provides security for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia. If changes are necessary, communicate them gently and in advance to minimize confusion. Limit noise levels. Loud music and excessive noise can be distressing for individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Put on soft background music, or consider using noise-canceling headphones if necessary. Be attentive to the volume during conversations to create a comfortable environment. By incorporating these thoughtful strategies, you can ensure that individuals with Alzheimer’s or dementia feel included and comfortable during holiday gatherings. The magic of the season lies in the joy of shared moments, and with a compassionate approach, everyone can join in the warmth and love of the holidays.
Extraordinary Work Team Recognition Day falls every year on Dec. 4. This year, I find myself reflecting on the exceptional team here at Trinity Elder Law — our team was truly the highlight of the year! One aspect that truly stands out is our commitment to aiding families struggling with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Every team member — Amy, Alissa, Megan and Davina — has completed specific training on Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Amy and Megan have taken the extra step to become Certified Dementia Practitioners. Amy is dedicated to assisting families with financial benefits, offering support through the complexities of Medicaid and other resources. Meanwhile, Megan, our care navigator, helps families sort through the challenges posed by these unfortunate diagnoses. Their expertise and compassion truly set them apart, and I feel honored to have a team that works so hard to ensure families affected by dementia are supported. It’s their dedication that transforms obstacles into opportunities for our firm and clients. Our success isn’t measured in challenges overcome — instead, it’s measured in the positive impact we make on the families we assist. To my team and family here at Trinity Elder Law, thank you for your commitment and enthusiasm. I appreciate you! Cheers to another successful and impactful year!
