Gratitude
A noun meaning the quality of being thankful, as well as readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
Give The Gift Of Joy
The best gifts don’t always come perfectly wrapped in shimmery paper topped with a festively colorful bow. Sometimes, the best gifts come from paying it forward through acts of kindness, generosity, and shared advocacy. This Tuesday, November 30th, is GivingTuesday, a chance to donate, volunteer, and give back to the community by supporting foundations dedicated to making a difference — foundations like Oakwood Creative Care.
Oakwood Creative Care has the tremendous opportunity to work with seniors living with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other age-related challenges, through reigniting old memories and creating new ones, all while sparking moments of joy along the way.
For the last 40 years, we have had our roots deeply planted in the soil of our community with the prospect of bridging the gaps in the continuum of care for seniors in need, as well as offering support to their families and caregivers — most of whom bear the burden of out-of-pocket financial responsibility for the costs associated with caring for their loved ones.
The Alzheimer’s Association reports 70% of lifetime cost of care, including medications, meals, and medical equipment, is borne by family caregivers, totaling nearly $257 billion in unpaid care costs for people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias (2021).
