Elaine Poker-Yount, Aging and Dementia Care Educator at Successful Aging AZ, challenges us to rethink our role in supporting a loved one with dementia. Are we care givers, focused on tasks, or care partners, fostering connection and autonomy? Shifting from doing things for someone to doing things with them preserves dignity, encourages engagement, and strengthens relationships. Who do you want to be in your loved one’s journey? This simple mindset shift can make all the difference.
Thanks to the generous support of BHHS Legacy Foundation, Duet kinship care services celebrated the Grand Opening of the GrandKin Clothing Closet. This new resource offers essential items—school uniforms, clothing, shoes, and supplies—to support grandfamilies in our community. If you’re an eligible family, we invite you to visit the GrandKin Clothing Closet at Duet’s office and take advantage of this valuable service. Together, we’re uplifting grandfamilies!
Quilting is more than an art—it’s an act of love. For Sandra Burson, a dedicated quilter and caregiver, stitching together fabric mirrors the way she pieces together moments of clarity and care for her husband, Greg, a Navy veteran living with vascular dementia. Through the challenges of caregiving, Sandra has found strength and support with Duet: Partners In Health & Aging. With resources like Duet’s Finding Meaning & Hope discussion series, caregivers like Sandra can find guidance, connection, and encouragement.
