We tricked and treated with the St. Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church Pre-School children last week and aren't sure which group ate more candy! ;)

We love our time together with the children!

The little ones visited Aden this week! They sang, colored and happily enjoyed the candy bags made by Aden participants. Following that fun we exercised, noshed on Kris’ famous salad and poboys. Of course we always end a beautiful day with porch sittin😊

We're always testing out our creative skills to create a joy-filled program for our participants. Here's a shot leftover from the summer where we set up the Aden Olympics!

Today was filled with learning and laughter! A friend shared her favorite books, we talked about our favorite foods, restaurants, and king cake! Followed that up by practicing for the Olympic debut of Balloon Volleyball! I wish you could her the laughter in the room! Our hearts are full!

After receiving a dementia diagnosis, it can be hard to know where to turn for information and support. Aden Director, Kasey Bealer, recommends these books as a great place to start! If you're curious about which might be best for you, please reach out to Kasey! Also, stay tuned for a new Care Partner Support Series starting after Mardi Gras (this is a 5-week educationally based support series).

Our relationship with someone is the most important thing in that moment. It is amazing to see friendships and relationships blossom with the right support and the right setting!
