As Guardianship Awareness Month comes to a close, we at Family Eldercare want to remind everyone that our commitment to support and resources doesn’t stop here. All week, we’ll be sharing valuable information, tools, and tips to help you understand and navigate guardianship. Whether you're a guardian or just looking to learn more, stay tuned for resources that can make a real difference in people’s lives. Together, we can build a more informed, compassionate community. #GuardianshipAwarenessMonth #EmpowerThroughKnowledge #FamilyEldercare

On this final day of Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the vibrant cultures, rich histories, and countless contributions of the Hispanic community. We at Family Eldercare look back on a story told by our very own Anna Madrigal, about her journey of discovering her culture✨: "I was in a small Mexican town visiting my grandma. The town looked untouched by time. Cobblestone streets. No traffic lights. More horses than cars. The baroque style church was in the center of town, and it was the heart of the community. Nearby was the plaza, a courtyard where you might find young lovebirds taking leisurely walks accompanied by their chaperones. There was going to be a big celebration that night. I didn’t know much about it other than the procession would pass by my grandma’s street. I waited at the front gate until I heard the music. I almost couldn’t take it all in. Against the dark sky was a sea of candles, lighting the way. Women in colorful Puebla dresses moved gracefully past me, their beautiful skeleton faces framed by marigold crowns or veils. Intertwined among the women were musicians, dancers, and singers. Día De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead is not meant to be a sad affair. It’s a day we celebrate and remember the lives of lost loved ones. We build them an altar. We eat their favorite foods and share our favorite memories. We mock the inevitability of death by decorating our faces with ornate skulls. We sing about death until our voices release our pain like a catharsis." Let's continue to honor and uplift these stories not just today, but every day.✨ #HispanicHeritage #CelebrationOfCulture #UnityInDiversity #FamilyEldercare
