Win of the Week for Rhiannon Stare of Riverside Care Advisors/Elder Bloom Wellness!

This week we are celebrating incredible successes with our clients who embraced a plant-based approach to wellness:

✅ Two clients transitioned from Ambien to plant-based sleep gummies, resulting in restful sleep without the morning grogginess.
✅ Another client living with dementia was able to discontinue Xanax, finding natural plant-based support for mood—leading to calmer afternoons and more peace for both client and family.

These moments highlight the power of thoughtful, plant-based solutions to improve quality of life. 💚

If you or a loved one are curious about natural ways to support sleep, mood, and overall wellness, schedule a Plant-Based Consultation with Rhiannon Stare, RN, CMC today!

Food as a Path to Energy, Cognition & Healthy Aging

Join us at Riverside Care Advisors to learn from Karen Mansur, Holistic Nutrition Specialist & Home Chef, for an engaging class exploring how food choices can nourish your body, support your brain, and help you thrive at every stage of life.

🍴 Learn how to:
✨ Choose foods that boost energy & cognition
✨ Support healthy aging through nutrition
✨ Use simple strategies to fit any lifestyle
✨ Shop smarter with practical tips
✨ Try out delicious recipes you can make at home

Here’s what Karen shares about her journey with food:

"Everybody has a story, and mine has always involved food. I grew up in a family where the dinner table was everything. We gathered around and shared not only the events of the day, but also talked about what we were eating. From textures and flavors, to ingredients and procurement, we talked about all things food. I was enthralled by how roasting developed texture and spices took you on a journey. I loved everything about it, and found my way into the food industry, working in farm kitchens and gourmet food stores, then taught cooking classes, before finding myself here. Here, as a personal chef, I get to help the people around me eat better and enjoy food, and in turn, feel better. I'd love to cook for you!"
