Stacy let Togi explore the new mouse pad rolling around gently. The new mouse pad was blue with a beautiful ocean scene! Togi felt like they were going to the beach every day, and this idea was very relaxing. Sometimes Stacy celebrated with Togi! She would lift Togi and dance around the room singing a celebration song just because she was happy also!”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Dr. Stacy L. McDonald’s new book will entertain young imaginations as they learn about what a mouse can do as well as find a way to express their thoughts about the idea of moving homes.

Carlton Senior Living Memory Care Neighborhoods: Designed with Purpose

Carlton Senior Living Memory Care Neighborhoods: Designed with Purpose

Pleasant Hill, CA, August 17, 2023 — Meet Kaja Sedzicki Born and raised in Poland, Kaja Sedzicki is a talented design specialist whose journey made her an integral part of Carlton’s Design and Development Team. With a background in language, literature, and education, Sedzicki’s true passion has always been art. From a young age, she showcased her creativity by crafting paper collections of clothes for her Barbie doll and fashioning accessories from playdough for Lego sets. Surrounded by creative and supportive individuals during her formative years, Sedzicki’s path was inevitably drawn towards a career where she could express her artistic talents.

The Intersection of Art and Utility

Sedzicki’s unique installations at Carlton Senior Living beautifully demonstrate the intersection of art and utility. One such installation features a display of familiar items like a zippered backpack, a men’s shoe, a polishing brush, buckled sandals, belts, and a woman’s sandal. Beyond their visual appeal, these installations have a profound impact on residents living with dementia. The textures and familiarity of these items trigger sensory experiences and memories, evoking recollections of special occasions, comforting moments, summer vacations, and school days.

For instance, the distinctive textures and buckles of the belts may evoke memories of dressing up for special occasions or the comforting feeling of securing a favorite pair of pants. The woman’s sandals, with their straps and contours, may remind residents of summertime or family vacations. Meanwhile, the zippered backpack’s familiar sound and functionality may transport them back to school days or past adventures.

“I love the fact that my projects here are purposeful, and I hope they bring people some joy. The smiles on their faces, once the installation is done, are priceless,” says Sedzicki. Reflecting on her work, she adds, “Creating the Memory Care activity boards was my biggest challenge so far. We wanted them to be different and attractive for seniors. We were very mindful of the choice of materials and colors. I’m very grateful for the support from my team.”

By participating in Carlton University, Carlton’s robust training program, Sedzicki gained valuable insights about dementia and its impact on the brain. With this knowledge, Sedzicki creates pieces that stimulate the senses and evoke powerful memories and emotional connections for residents living with brain change.

At Carlton Senior Living, the motto “Life Your Life” underpins everything they do. The dedicated staff and intentionally designed environments ensure that residents live their lives to the fullest. Integrating Kaja Sedzicki’s artwork into their Memory Care Neighborhoods exemplifies their commitment to providing all residents with an exceptional and enriching experience. Carlton Senior Living invites everyone to visit their newly refreshed and redesigned Memory Care Neighborhood to explore Sedzicki’s incredible artwork firsthand.

Introducing Cultured Health: Empowering Wellness Through Cultural Connection

Introducing Cultured Health: Empowering Wellness Through Cultural Connection

Boston, MA, August 17, 2023 –Cultured Health, formerly known as Culturd, is proud to announce its transformative evolution from an innovative platform to a groundbreaking movement in the health and wellness industry. Founded by husband-and-wife team Sue-Ellen Anderson-Haynes, RDN, and Michael Haynes, Cultured Health was inspired by their profound belief in the power of nutrition and cultural connections to drive positive health outcomes.

The platform’s initial mission, to match individuals with registered dietitians who understand their unique cultural backgrounds, laid the foundation for a revolutionary approach to access to medical nutrition therapy. Now, as Cultured Health, the company is taking its mission to new heights, expanding its vision beyond the app to build a diverse, health-focused community of end users and expert dietitians with cultural affiliations from every corner of the globe. This inclusive approach aims to bridge the gap in healthcare disparities and contribute to the fight against lifestyle- and diet-related diseases that are on the rise.

Witnessing firsthand the cultural disconnect between nutrition professionals and their clients, registered dietitian Sue-Ellen Anderson-Haynes, and her husband, Michael Haynes, have rebuilt Cultured Health into a revolutionary movement. Through the app, users are assessed and matched with registered dietitians who accommodate their dietary needs and embrace their cultural practices, native foods and spices, language, religious influences, and traditional food preparations. This approach ensures that users receive relevant and feasible nutritional advice, considering their cultural heritage and food choices.

“Cultured Health is more than just an app; it is a global initiative to foster better health through cultural understanding and inclusivity,” said Sue-Ellen Anderson-Haynes. “Our vision is to empower individuals from diverse communities to achieve their wellness goals while celebrating their cultural identities.”

Cultured Health aims to partner with community organizations and corporate entities to drive impactful change in the health and wellness industry. Cultured Health seeks to break down barriers and address healthcare disparities that disproportionately affect underserved communities by collaborating with organizations that share their vision.

“We believe that when health experts and patients share cultural connections, it opens up new channels for communication and trust,” added Michael Haynes. “Through our platform, programs, and partnerships, we want to create a compassionate, supportive, and culturally sensitive environment that fosters positive health outcomes for everyone.”

The company’s name change to Cultured Health reflects its expanded mission and commitment to promoting positive and personalized nutritional journeys. The platform’s growth and evolution emphasize its dedication to making nutrition and health more accessible to diverse communities worldwide.
