A South Florida man living with Alzheimer's is finding hope through a new treatment that helped remove the amyloid plaques linked to the disease. Scott Milinsky, 79, was one of the first patients in Florida to receive Eli Lilly's Kisunla at Broward Health North, where doctors say the medication is designed to slow the progression of early symptomatic Alzheimer's.

After 18 infusions over a year and a half, Milinsky's final PET scan showed the amyloid plaques were gone. While doctors say Kisunla is not a cure, they call it a significant step forward in slowing cognitive decline. Broward Health North is now providing the treatment to more than 60 patients.

Many older adults navigate aging on their own — without children or a spouse. An expert says this is "a reality to be supported" rather than a crisis to be solved.

This article really struck a chord with us.

We often picture aging with a spouse, adult children, or a close-knit family nearby. But for a growing number of people, that simply isn’t the reality. They are what many are calling “solo agers”, people growing older without a partner, children, or family members to lean on.

The truth is, this isn’t just their issue. It’s all of our issue.

At Rings of Care, we’ve always believed that community shouldn’t depend on whether someone has family.

That’s why we talk so much about building villages before we need them. Friends, neighbors, coworkers, faith communities, volunteers, and local organizations can become part of a circle of care that helps someone remain connected, supported, and seen.

Whether you have a large family and tons of friends, or none at all, life can change in an instant. Illness, distance, divorce, disability, death, or simply the busyness of life can leave anyone feeling alone.

The answer isn’t fear. The answer is community.

Imagine if every neighborhood knew who might need a ride to an appointment, someone to check in after surgery, help carrying groceries, or simply a friendly face over a cup of tea. Those small acts don’t just help solo agers, they create stronger communities for everyone.

This is exactly why we created Rings of Care. Because no one should have to navigate aging or caregiving alone.

Who is part of your village? And whose village could you become part of?

Ask how we can help facilitate these conversation on a personal level or workshops for businesses.

Rings of Care is aligned with United WE, in the believe that caregiving isn’t just a personal responsibility—it’s a workforce issue, an economic issue, and a community issue. When we support caregivers, we strengthen businesses, families, and our entire economy.

United We is launching a new Institute Forum series, “Caregiving at Work,” sponsored by AARP.

This multi-state initiative is designed to address one of the most urgent barriers to women’s workforce participation. With 63 million Americans currently providing care, and one in three belonging to the “sandwich generation” caring for both children and adult relatives, the need for practical workplace solutions has never been greater.

Through this series, United We is bringing together employers, community leaders, and caregivers across Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. The forums are designed to equip participants with actionable tools, elevate caregiver voices, and spotlight employer practices that are working.

This is an important conversation. By 2030 Missouri will have more residents over the age of 60 than we have under the age of 18. Rings of Care knows we need to start addressing the shift immediately.

We invite you to be part of this vital conversation. To learn more or to register for an upcoming forum, please visit
