If you are seeing these signs and wondering when is it time to call hospice, it may be the time now. When a loved one has a terminal illness, every moment counts. Speaking with a hospice professional early in the process allows you to have all your questions answered long before a crisis hits.

We hope to see you THIS THURSDAY, JUNE 20th for our Network with the Network event to celebrate the first day of summer! 🌞

Celebrate National Martini Day at Juniper Glen Memory Care Assisted Living!

June is National PTSD Month. An older adult who experienced a traumatic event in their youth may have developed coping mechanisms over the years to manage their PTSD symptoms. However, as they age, cognitive changes and declining physical health might disrupt their established coping mechanisms, making it harder to manage their PTSD symptoms as effectively as they may have been able to in the past.
