Our biggest fundraiser is coming soon! Don't forget to order your flowers, vegetables, baskets, and herbs by March 21! Whether you are just needing a flowering basket for your patio, vegetables for your garden, or flowers for your flower baskets this is the BEST opportunity to get beautiful flowers and to help an amazing organization.

Planning ahead is hard because you never know how your needs may change. The first step is to think about the kinds of help you might want in the near future. Maybe you live alone, so there is no one living in your home who is available to help you. Maybe you don't need help right now, but you live with a spouse or family member who does. Everyone has a different situation. Then you also need to look at your health and wellbeing. As we age, we need to look at ways to stay active and healthy. Another factor to consider is financials. Do you have a revocable trust? Do you need one? How do you get services provided when needed? You don't need to attend all 6 you can attend the ones that interest you specifically.

So many questions to ponder but we are here to help! Beginning in March we will offer a FREE 6-week series covering these various topics. We have amazing community providers coming in to cover these topics. Then join us for a fun activity after to engage with other people in your community. Thanks to Anthem we are able to offer this series free to seniors. We are limited on space so please do not forget to register.

We were blessed to receive funding from the Summer Youth Program Fund- Central Indiana Community Foundation to bring intergenerational programs this summer to Still Waters. Thanks to the collaboration with Ms. Tammi our movement therapist and Arts with a Purpose we will be bringing in arts, music, and movement three days a week to our guests and friends at CUMNS. Through the partnership of the summer camp our goal is to help our youth be more willing to share, help and cooperate with elderly persons. This partnership will increase the social awareness for communicating with older people and increase the positive attitudes toward aging and the elderly using expressive therapies. Thanks SYPF for this opportunity!

A Caregiver support group for those providing care to loved ones with age related disorders/diagnosis. It is a safe and confidential place to share experiences, listen, learn, and reflect. This is open to anyone providing support to an aged loved one anyone is welcome to attend at no cost.

This beautiful gift of devotion to another human being often results in self-neglect. When we can access and honor our own feelings and needs, share similar experiences with others, and discover the lessons along our paths, we return to our loved ones strengthened and replenished.
