Meghan Walsh - It’s Still Me
I recently had the privilege of recording “It’s Still Me” with the amazingly talented David Findlay. Thank you David for creating such a beautiful arrangement of my song.
I would also like to thank my family for being part of the video that accompanies the song in honour of my grandmother who is living her dementia journey. Most importantly, the photos in the video portray some of the “meaningful memories” that our family has shared with my grandmother over the years and the loving “person” she was and still is today ❤️.
Lyrical Meaning: The song lyrics encompass the changing roles between mother and daughter. In the song, the mother has dementia and the daughter takes on the role of nurturer and caregiver, a role that was once her mother’s as the daughter was growing up. The lyrics also touch on the thoughts and emotions that a person with dementia might be experiencing throughout the stages of dementia. These include: memory loss, fear, isolation, anxiety, as well as love, support, reassurance and validation. Most importantly, the lyrics portray the significance of seeing the “person” not the disease.

Mealtimes at HVH At our last Resident Council meeting, it was discussed and primarily opted for, flipping our bigger meal from noon to supper time. With providing a very large breakfast, followed by the large main meal for lunch, many residents are too full to consume that meal (which contains most of their daily calories and protein). Due to this, many are quite hungry by supper time when the lighter meal is served. With residents’ input, we are looking at moving our largest meal to supper time. Benefits of this include: Improved satiety throughout the evening Less hypoglycemia with morning blood sugars Increased likelihood of consuming the large, main meal The ability to sleep in & have a late breakfast, without compromising intake of the larger meal Stay tuned for results of our residents’ votes! ~ Food Services Team
