The holidays bring warmth and togetherness, but for those living with dementia, they can also bring overstimulation. Gentle adjustments can make a world of difference.

This holiday season, consider:
🎵 Playing soothing music instead of loud background noise
🕯️ Keeping gatherings smaller and familiar
❤️ Focusing on connection, not perfection

At Peregrine, we help families create environments that foster peace, comfort, and connection—ensuring that the season stays meaningful for everyone involved.

Little adjustments can make the season meaningful for everyone.
