October was another busy month for Overture Home Care! From community events and industry partnerships to celebrating our team and supporting causes close to our hearts, we stayed busy connecting with the people and organizations that make our communities so special. Here's a look at a few highlights from the month!
We kicked things off with the TAGS Member Appreciation Event at Press Cafe in Fort Worth, followed by The Pink Event, the 20th Annual Pink Luncheon benefiting women's health. We also enjoyed bringing a little extra sweetness to residents at The Vantage with a special ice cream bar!
Our team stayed connected throughout the community at several local events, including the Parker County Chamber's Go West Community Showcase at Founders Park in Walsh, the Southlake Senior Health Fair at The MARQ, and the Parker County Senior Expo at North Side Baptist Church. We were happy to provide welcome bags for attendees at the Senior Expo! We also enjoyed supporting the Hats Off to Aledo Children's Advocates Luncheon at Ridglea Country Club.
Case Management Week gave us another opportunity to show appreciation for the professionals who make such a difference in the lives of patients and families. We delivered treats to case managers at Medical City Weatherford and ClearSky Rehab Weatherford alongside Randi with Senior Living Specialists. We continued the celebrations with a Pizza and Wine gathering alongside our partners at Forum Parkway Health and Rehab. We're grateful for all the hard work case managers do to coordinate care and support the families they serve!
Education, leadership, and collaboration were also big parts of our month. We attended the Civitas Senior Living Annual Conference with a record-store-themed booth inspired by this year's theme, "Sound Check: The Rhythm of Leadership!"
We were also proud to serve as Gold Sponsors of the annual DAGS Conference, themed "The Next Chapter in Aging: Shaping the Future." It was wonderful connecting with friends and partners from UT Southwestern Medical Center, Iris Memory Care, Juliette Fowler Communities, and many others who share our passion for improving the lives of older adults. Overture was also proud to sponsor the ACHE of North Texas Women's Healthcare Executive Network (WHEN) Breakfast at CHRISTUS Health. The discussion focused on advancing technology in healthcare, bringing together women healthcare leaders for a morning of learning and connection.
Our very own Vanessa, TAGS Programs Chair, planned a fantastic TAGS Quarterly Luncheon featuring our GUIDE partner, UNT Health. We enjoyed learning more about "Thinking Differently About Aging" and the Four M's: What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility.
We also sponsored the SAGE Jamboree at UNT Health! The event brought together mentors and SAGE staff for refreshments, networking, and an opportunity to hear from university faculty studying issues important to older adults. We enjoyed hearing from Teresa Wagner, who shared insights on building health and digital literacy for older adults.
Giving back and supporting our local communities remained a priority. We partnered with Beyond Faith Hospice for National Night Out in Weatherford, sponsored the lemonade stand at Discovery Village's Alliance Fair Happy Hour, and joined the Veterans Breakfast at Clearfork Assisted Living and Memory Care in Willow Park.
We also participated in both the Weatherford and Hood County Walks to End Alzheimer's, supporting the ongoing fight against this disease. These events are always meaningful opportunities to come together, raise awareness, and support the families affected by Alzheimer's.
We had some special moments closer to home, too! Our team celebrated Boss's Day at the Fort Worth office and enjoyed a special reading of You Matter, Little Lion, the new book by Kendall, daughter of our nurse Kara, at Stevenson Oaks. We also enjoyed Halloween Bingo at Watermere Preserve!
Our team stayed active with several Trending Women meetings throughout the area, including the Arlington meeting at Texas Rehab Arlington featuring guest speaker Teresa Huffman, CEO.
We also enjoyed a Western-themed Happy Hour at Clear Fork Assisted Living alongside our friends at Journey Hospice. It's always a pleasure spending time with residents and building connections with our community partners!
And of course, we couldn't let Halloween pass without celebrating at the Fort Worth office! From costumes galore to our office costume competition, we always find a reason to have a little fun together.
October was filled with meaningful connections, new opportunities, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. We're grateful for the community partners, organizations, and individuals who make it possible for Overture Home Care to stay involved and continue making a difference!
