🏡 A safer home can help you keep doing what you love.

Sometimes, small changes around the house can make a big difference in helping older adults stay safe, comfortable and independent at home.

In a new article from Drew and Jonathan, Home Instead’s own Dr. Lakelyn Eichenberger shares practical ways to make a home safer as we age—from better lighting to simple updates that support everyday independence.

💚 Because feeling at home means being able to enjoy it.

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.

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.

If you have ever lain awake wondering, “Am I doing enough for my aging parent?” this is for you.

You were never meant to carry caregiving alone. Asking for help can create more support, more breathing room and a more sustainable path forward for both you and the person you love.

🎉 Congratulations to Rosalinda V., our October Care Pro of the Month! 🎉

Rosalinda joined the Home Instead family in April 2025 and has shown a true passion for caregiving from the very beginning. She takes senior care to heart, genuinely adores her clients, and approaches each person she cares for with compassion, dedication, and kindness. ❤️

When asked what motivates her to be a Care Pro, Rosalinda shared:
"I just love helping people and being there for them. But my main motivation was my grandmother, who had cancer. Helping her during her illness was rewarding."

That personal experience helped shape Rosalinda's passion for caring for others, and it shines through in the relationships she builds with her clients. Her desire to simply be there for someone when they need her embodies what caregiving is all about.

🌟 Congratulations, Rosalinda! Thank you for the heart you bring to your work and for making a difference in the lives of our seniors and their families. We are so happy to recognize you as our October Care Pro of the Month!

A special thank you to Miller-Jones Mortuary & Crematory for generously sponsoring our Care Pro of the Month program and helping us recognize the exceptional individuals who dedicate themselves to caring for seniors in our community. We truly appreciate your continued support and partnership!

“Hospice is another word for hope.”

Families may worry that choosing hospice means they are giving up. Hospice can offer something very different: a team of people who come alongside your loved one and your family with comfort, care and support.

In this Caregiver Chats clip, gerontologist Dr. Julie Masters shares why learning about hospice sooner can help families access the resources available to them.
