At 82, Mary discovered her passion for painting at iCARE just six months ago. What started as simple watercolor sessions has blossomed into weekly creations that fill our walls—and her home—with color. "I forgot how much I loved this," Mary shares with a smile. Her latest piece, a vibrant Prescott sunset, even won our monthly art contest! Mary's story reminds us how creative outlets can reignite joy at any age. Our certified art therapists tailor sessions to individual abilities, helping participants like Mary build confidence and express emotions through brushstrokes. Families often tell us these activities reduce anxiety and spark conversations that bridge generations.

Mary's Art Journey

Our annual Fall Wellness Fair brought together 75 participants, families, and local experts for a day of health tips, free screenings, and fun! Highlights included yoga demos by Sarah Mitchell, nutrition talks from Dr. Gonzalez, and our popular balance challenge with prizes. One caregiver shared, "This event gave me tools to support Dad's mobility at home—thank you, iCARE!" We screened 40 blood pressures, distributed 200 healthy recipe cards, and raised $500 for our community fund. A special thank you to Prescott Medical Clinic and Yavapai Fitness for sponsoring.

Fall Wellness Fair Success

Celebrating one year of our free Caregiver Support Groups! Over 150 families have joined our monthly sessions, finding solace in shared stories and expert advice on dementia care, stress relief, and self-compassion. Facilitated by licensed counselors, these groups have led to 40% less reported burnout among attendees, per our internal surveys. "I no longer feel alone," says regular attendee Lisa. "iCARE isn't just for participants—it's for us too."
