October is Fire Prevention Month! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

When was the last time you checked Mom's smoke alarms?
How about her carbon monoxide detectors?

Reminder:
Test them every month & replace batteries at least once a year.

Working alarms save livesโ€”especially for seniors living at home.

Last month, we kicked off our Dementia Care Workshop series๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ

Our Director of Nursing, Emily Glowacki, BSN, RN, DCPC received her Dementia Clinical Practice Certification through an intensive training program with Rachel Wiley, MS, OTR/L, DCPC & the The Dementia Collaborative. Emily is sharing her wealth of knowledge on best practices for communication and fostering a calm, comfortable, safe environment for our clients with dementia.

She's also laid down a challenge to our 2nd Family of Philadelphia & the Main Line RN Care Coordinators to take the course & get certified by the end of 2027.

The strategies and skills learned in these targeted workshops bring increased value to our clients and their families. We're always working to expand our knowledge base when it comes to compassionate care and how to support our clients and their families.

More workshops to follow!
We know it will make a difference๐Ÿ’š

Did You Know?
Home care often works hand-in-hand with hospice and/or palliative care?
In fact, it's pretty common & we're lucky to have many amazing partners ๐Ÿค

Hospice & palliative teams focus on:
๐Ÿ’š Comfort
๐Ÿ’š Symptom management
๐Ÿ’š Medical needs

While 2nd Family caregivers provide essential daily support:
๐Ÿ’š Personal care
๐Ÿ’š Light housekeeping
๐Ÿ’š Companionship, and more.

Creating a compassionate circle of care, supporting both your loved one & your family every step of the way.

A daughter or a son...
A mom or a dad...
A neighbor or a family member...

If you're caring for another, you might think it's okay to ignore your own needs.

Don't Forget.
Your mental health matters...always.
