Summer Solstice Staff highlight! 💐👑🌻

Meet Ann Olson! The Bardo is so lucky to have Ann as one of our incredible bedside caregivers (and one of our FOUR death doulas on staff)!! Ann coined the phrase “The Bardo Secret Sauce” when talking about the team and Ann is a key ingredient.

Ann received a psychology degree from Drake University and went on to study occupational therapy at St. Catherine University. She worked as an occupational therapist for over 20 years, specializing in the treatment of neurological conditions such as stroke and dementia.

Following her rehabilitation career, Ann worked as a dementia consultant for over 100 assisted living and memory care communities, concentrating on improving the experience of residents. She founded Sweet Basil Senior Care LLC in 2022 to directly address the needs of clients living with dementia and their families.

Over the years, Ann noticed that companionship and kindness were often the most therapeutic aspects of the treatment she provided.

Ann is an integral part of our Secret Sauce. ✨ Thank you for all you do.

We’ve got some new offerings starting this month at The Bardo! Head over to our website to RSVP :)

Some of our amazing volunteers at our appreciation event yesterday 🦋

The wonderful Sandy Agustin led us in a nature mandala-making workshop, also known as Morning Altars. This was followed by our monthly Music & Memorial gathering, where we come together to speak the names of those who have died, share memories, and offer music and poetry in remembrance.

Keep up with our upcoming events by visiting our website — or better yet, sign up for our newsletter! 💫

Join us May 18th from 4-6pm for an evening of learning and conversation as we explore VSED alongside our colleagues at Minnesota Hospice.
