Across the country, Home Instead teams are showing up with purpose at Walk to End Alzheimer’s events—walking in honor of loved ones, supporting families and raising critical funds for the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. 💜

We are proud to partner with the ’sAssociation as a Walk to End Alzheimer’s Gold National Team. Together, Home Instead has raised more than $5.7 million over the past 18 years, including $258,000 last year alone, to advance Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

This year, we are well on our way to reaching our goal—and every donation and every step makes a meaningful difference. Thank you to every Care Pro, office team member, client, family member and community partner who walks, fundraises and helps move this mission forward.

To donate or find a Walk near you, visit: https://homeinsteadinc.visitlink.me/iZJ8YM Together, we are moving closer to a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

When searching for a senior living community, touring more than one place can make all the difference.

Look beyond the amenities and notice the everyday interactions: Do team members know residents by name? Do they speak directly to the person who may live there? Does the community feel warm, personal and welcoming?

In this Caregiver Chats clip, Dr. Lakelyn and Nicole Will share why comparing communities can help families find the right fit for their loved one.

One tour rarely tells the whole story.

When you’re exploring senior living options for someone you love, visit more than one community—and pay attention to the details that reveal how people are truly cared for.

Are residents greeted by name? Are conversations warm and personal? Does the team speak directly to the older adult, not just their family?

Sometimes the clearest answer comes from comparing how each place feels.

Touring senior living communities for a loved one? Look beyond the scheduled visit.

In this clip from Caregiver Chats, Nicole Will shares why it can be helpful to stop by at a different time—like an evening or weekend—and notice the everyday experience. Are residents interacting naturally? Do team members seem calm, attentive and familiar with the people they support?

The right community is about more than the building. It’s about finding a place where your loved one can feel connected, valued and at home.

💻 October — Cybersecurity Awareness Month
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—a great reminder that staying safe at home includes staying safe online, too! 🔐💚

Older adults can be especially vulnerable to scams, phishing emails, fake tech-support calls, and requests for personal or financial information. Care Professionals and family members can play an important role by helping clients recognize warning signs and encouraging them to stop and think before they click, respond, or share information.

A few simple reminders can help:

🔒 Use strong, unique passwords and turn on multi-factor authentication.
📱 Never give passwords, PINs, or verification codes to someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
✉️ Be cautious of unexpected links, texts, emails, and attachments.
💳 Never send money or gift cards because of an urgent phone call or message.
🚩 Remember: pressure to “act now” is often a warning sign.
👥 When in doubt, stop and ask someone you trust before taking action.

To our Home Instead Care Professionals: helping clients recognize something that doesn’t look or sound quite right can be another important way you help keep them safe. 💚💛

Stop. Think. Protect.

A scheduled tour can show you the highlights. An unscheduled visit can show you everyday life.

When you’re considering a senior living community for someone you love, Nicole Will suggests stopping by at a different time—an evening or weekend—and paying attention to what you see.

Are residents connecting? Does the team seem calm and engaged? Do people know one another by name?

It’s not just about finding a place to live. It’s about finding a place where your loved one can feel known, connected and at home.

When families begin exploring senior living, it’s easy to focus on the building first: the amenities, the dining room, the activity calendar.

But as Nicole Will () reminds us, the better place to begin is with the person.

What brings your loved one joy? Where do they find purpose? What kind of connection will help them feel known and at home?

In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn and Nicole share a more person-centered way to approach one of caregiving’s biggest decisions.
