💜🐘 Ellie’s Did You Know?

🤧 Seasonal Congestion & Dementia

Did you know that a stuffy nose or seasonal allergies can increase confusion, agitation, and restlessness in someone living with dementia?

💜 Watch for these warning signs:
• Increased confusion or agitation
• Restlessness or poor sleep
• Runny nose, sneezing, or congestion
• Rubbing the nose or face
• Changes in appetite or behavior

⚠️ Caregivers, be cautious! Some OTC cold and allergy medications, especially products labeled “D” and certain antihistamines, can worsen confusion.

Always check with their doctor or pharmacist before adding anything new, especially when taking prescription medications.

🚨 Sudden confusion, fever, or difficulty breathing needs prompt medical attention.

🐘 Remember: Sometimes the behavior is simply discomfort they can't explain!

💜 Two Tip Tuesday 💜

One of the hardest parts of dementia is understanding that memory loss isn't a choice—it's a symptom of the disease.

When your loved one forgets what you just said or asks the same question over and over, they aren't trying to be difficult. They need reassurance, not correction.

Gentle reminders, simple routines, and a calm, encouraging tone can reduce anxiety and help them feel safe and successful throughout the day.

✨ Caregiver Challenge: This week, replace frustration with one gentle reminder and one reassuring response. You may be surprised at how much calmer the moment becomes.

📌 It can also be helpful to post picture cues and simple daily reminder notes in a common area. Keep them easy to read, use large print, and focus on one message at a time. Visual reminders can provide reassurance and promote independence.

Need personalized strategies for your loved one? Servant's Heart Services is here to help you navigate dementia with confidence, compassion, and practical solutions. You don't have to do this alone. 💜

I want to share something the Lord showed me as I was reading Luke 9 and it hit me. What i have read many times before I saw something in never paid attention to before.

Jesus had just found out about the killing of John the Baptist and he wanted to get away, he wanted to grieve & mourn the loss of a friend, but instead he found himself in the midst of thousands.
Jesus saw something that we don't see when we are grieving and that is the lost and hurting around us. We tend to want to isolate ourselves, cry and remember those we lost.

Jesus knew he could find comfort in prayer with His Father, but what he saw was the thousands before him that had no comfort and had no idea how or where to find any.
Oh but they all knew he did!

Jesus in the midst of his pain and grief still had a mission and a purpose. Still had a love for people that we will never truly understand.

Scripture says “Late in the day, the Twelve approached and said to him, “Send the crowd away, so that they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.””
Luke 9:12 CSB In other words get rid of them we have had a bad day.

Jesus didn't turn away one person but instead he spent his time of grief healing the sick, feeding the hungry, casting out demons & most importantly teaching those the way everlasting!

As I read that I just sat and cried seeing the heart of our savior in a way that I never paid attention to before in that story.

So many of us focus on the miracle of the story but often fail to see the true sacrifice of Jesus behind the story.

I don't know if this will mean anything to you, but be encouraged that Jesus sees the sacrifice you make daily in your grieving process. That in itself is your miracle ❤️🙌

💜 A Little Health Update from My Heart to Yours 💜

To my sweet Servant’s Heart family,

I wanted to share a little update with you all. I've been away due to an unexpected emergency surgery 🏥😖, and while recovery hasn't been easy, I'm thankful to be healing and slowly getting back to doing what I love. 💜

I'm happy to say I've returned to work! However,👨‍⚕️🩺 doctor's orders are doctor's orders , and some services will remain on hold until I'm able to safely resume them.

I'm also working on catching up on messages and returning phone calls. Please bear with me as I get back into the swing of things.

Sometimes the one who loves caring for others has to slow down and allow herself to heal, too. 💜

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your patience, prayers, love, and continued support. You all mean so much to me!

With love and a grateful heart,
Stephanie 💜

✨ Remember When Thursday ✨

Today, don't worry about correcting every forgotten detail. Instead, spend a few moments remembering with your loved one.

Look through an old photo album.
Play a favorite song.
Talk about a family tradition.
Laugh over a story you've heard a hundred times.

Those moments aren't just about remembering the past—they're about creating peace, connection, and joy in the present.

Even if they can't remember every name or every date, they can often still feel your love, your kindness, and your presence.

💜 Today's encouragement: Don't measure the visit by what they remember. Measure it by how they feel when they're with you.

Take time today to make a memory, even if it's simply sitting together in silence, holding hands, and reminding them they are deeply loved.

💜 59 million family caregivers.
💜 49.5 billion hours of care.
💜 $1.01 trillion in unpaid support.

Behind those numbers are real families.

Every day, family caregivers are helping the people they love bathe, dress, eat, manage medications, get to appointments, stay safe at home, and navigate the challenges that can come with aging and dementia.

And many are doing it while working, raising families, managing their own households, and putting their own physical, emotional, and financial needs aside.

At Servant’s Heart Services, I believe caregivers need more than encouragement—they need education, practical strategies, respite, resources, and meaningful support to help them continue caring for the people they love.

This petition is asking Congress to strengthen support for family caregivers through resources such as respite care, caregiver education, mental health support, and financial relief.

Caregiving touches families from every walk of life. 💜

If you believe our family caregivers deserve greater support and resources, I encourage you to read the petition and consider adding your name.

💜 Ellie’s Did You Know? 💜

When we think about dementia or Alzheimer’s, we often think about memory loss first. But the changes happening in the brain can affect so much more.

Reasoning, emotions, behavior, balance, sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell, temperature awareness, and even the ability to understand what is safe or appropriate can all be affected.

That’s why something that looks like “difficult behavior” may actually be the brain struggling to process the world around them.

💜 Look beyond the behavior.
💜 Respond with patience.
💜 Adjust the environment when needed.
💜 Meet them where they are.

The more we understand what dementia changes, the better we can care for the whole person—not just their memory.
