Yesterday, as members of the Shoreline Eldercare Alliance, we had the pleasure of participating in the Annual Celebration of Healthy Aging Expo.

One of my favorite moments involved a couple I met—and a husband who really wanted to win our raffle basket! Every time he saw me, he smiled and gave me a thumbs-up. Wouldn’t you know it—his ticket was pulled! Of course, I had to capture the moment that made me smile.

It was a wonderful day celebrating healthy aging, honoring our veterans, and embracing the joy of living each day!

When someone you love is aging, it can be hard to know what they need, where to start—or who to call.

When you know you need help but don’t know where to start, the right call may be to a Care Manager.

At Graceful Transitions, we help families understand what’s happening, what their options are, and what to do next.

Know what to do. Know who to call.

In just 2 days, something special begins.

After months of planning, conversations, and bringing together an incredible team of professionals, we're officially launching ACAP SECT–River Valley.

This isn't just another program.

Beginning this week, families throughout Middlesex and New London Counties will have access to trusted education, local experts, practical resources, and a community that understands the journey.

Here's to helping families find answers a little sooner, feel a little less alone, and navigate aging with greater confidence.

Sometimes the right resource arrives exactly when a family needs it most. I hope ACAP becomes that resource for our community.

We look forward to seeing you!

Donna, Alyssa, Nasi, Alyssa, Donna, Pam, Barbra, Jessica, Haley, Johnna, Candice, and Brad

Last night was everything a Purple Party should be—filled with laughter, friendship, generosity, and a shared commitment to a world without Alzheimer's. A special thank you to New England Brewing Co. for being the quiet force behind the scenes and graciously hosting our event. Your generosity and support helped make the evening possible.

And thank you to Shoreline Café for the absolutely delicious food that everyone enjoyed. A very special thank you to Claribel for your kindness, generosity, and wonderful hospitality. You helped make the evening feel truly special. 💜

To my incredible co-hosts, Barbra Domijan of Gentiva Hospice and Amy Greenleaf of Comfort Keepers Home Care. You make this event so special. 💜

Thank you to our generous sponsors, colleagues, family, and friends who came out to support our 2nd Annual Purple Party. Because of you, every raffle ticket purchased, every donation made, and every conversation shared helps move us one step closer to ending Alzheimer's.

Every step we take and every dollar we raise is for the million little reasons that matter most... our memories. Thank you for helping us protect them. 💜

We are so very proud to be part of this wonderful collective of professionals.

If you’re an adult child helping an aging parent, we understand—trying to figure out where to turn, who to call, and what resources are available can feel like a lot.

That’s why we’re proud to share ACAP SECT–River Valley’s first FREE community presentation. Come learn about trusted resources available right here in our community—before you need them.

If this sounds like you—or someone you know—we hope you’ll join us. And please share; you never know who may need this resource.

No pictures... and that's how I know we were having fun! 🍦

Yesterday, Graceful Transitions and Focus Home Care sponsored an Ice Cream Social at the Colchester Senior Center, and what a sweet afternoon it was!

A huge thank you to Jodi and the entire team for making us feel so welcome. Michele and I scooped more than 50 dishes of Bliss Ice Cream from Mel's Creamery while Alyssa and Nasi served up the hot fudge, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and all the extras so everyone could create their perfect sundae.

The room was filled with smiles, laughter, and great conversations. We were having so much fun serving everyone that I completely forgot to take a single picture!

Thank you to everyone who spent a little time with us and shared some summer joy on a dreary day. Sometimes the sweetest moments are the ones that never make it to the camera. 💙🍦

Smoke from the Canadian wildfires is affecting the air we breathe, so today is a good day to take a few extra precautions. Older adults—especially those with heart or lung conditions—can be more sensitive to wildfire smoke.

And please take a moment to check on an older neighbor or loved one. Sometimes the smallest gesture makes the biggest difference. 💙
