A wonderful evening at the monthly Dementia & Alzheimer’s Support Group at the Mulvane Senior Center! 💜

It was encouraging to see so many caregivers come together to share experiences, ask questions, and support one another. These conversations are so important, and no one should have to navigate this journey alone.

A special shoutout to Marsha Landis (pictured in the middle) , our Home Health Liaison for Wichita, who did a fantastic job leading the discussion. Thank you Marsha (and Kaylie Mistretta) for your compassion, knowledge, and dedication to serving our community!

Join Marsha & Kaylie the last Thursday of every month from 6:00–7:00 PM at the Mulvane Senior Center 💜
