A kitchen potholder became the beginning of a dementia care company. 🧠

After four years of struggling to connect with her mom through dementia, Angela Fairhurst handed her a silicone potholder.

They touched it, played with it, tossed it like a Frisbee and Angela finally felt her mom present with her again.

That moment became Geri-Gadgets.

Sometimes connection starts with something surprisingly simple.

Treat dementia like a behavior problem, and you may miss what the person is trying to communicate.

Angela Fairhurst created Geri-Gadgets, silicone sensory tools built to give people with dementia and other sensory needs something simple to touch, use, and connect through.

The idea started with her own mom.

After four years of struggling to connect through dementia, Angela handed her a silicone potholder. Her mom touched it, played with it, tossed it back and forth and became present with her again.

Later, Angela watched a largely nonverbal man use one of her sensory tools, lift his head and start trying to speak.

Engagement does not have to look big to matter.

Sometimes a touch, a movement, or one attempted word is the win.

Her children became her caregivers.

After a spinal cord injury, this mother of three could not dress or transfer by herself. The hardest loss was not walking. It was no longer feeling like Mom.

Recovery should restore more than movement. It should restore independence. ❤️

The numbers are only useful if you know what they’re telling you.

For August’s 8 Markets at a Glance, I went beyond inventory, prices, and sales and looked at what the numbers mean for buyers and sellers making decisions right now.

Eight markets. Eight different stories. And a buyer-and-seller strategy for each one.

This month I’m looking at La Crescenta-Montrose, Glendale 91208, La Cañada Flintridge, Lake View Terrace, Pasadena 91103, Pasadena 91104, Shadow Hills, and Sunland-Tujunga.

Where are buyers finding value? Which homes are getting chosen? Where is market time becoming a warning sign? And what can pending sales tell you that active listings can’t?

Because whether you’re buying or selling, knowing the numbers isn’t enough. You need to know which numbers matter and what to do with them.

Want to see the complete August vs. July market statistics for all eight communities? Read the full 8 Markets at a Glance report at the link in my bio.
