Maria Olguin, 80, who suffers from dementia and spinal stenosis, gets some air with her niece Elizabeth Rivera, her caregiver Yolanda Morales, daughter Elsa Florez and her husband Daniel with their boxer Little One on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 in Pasadena. Florez got her the part-time caregiver to give her 84-year-old father a break since her mom needs 24 hour care. (Photo by Sarah Reingewirtz, Los Angeles Daily News/SCNG)
