Different by Design: the science behind how we care. 🔑

At this year’s TheKey Excellence Awards, Dr. Shadi Gholizadeh took the stage with a question: can home care really innovate?

Our answer is the Balanced Care Method®, six science-backed pillars built into every visit:
🏃 Move More
🧠 Flex Your Mind
🥗 Nourish & Hydrate
🤝 Connect With Others
✨ Engage With Joy & Purpose
😴 Sleep Well

When caregivers are set up for success, everyone wins: safer care, happier caregivers, and clients who don’t just get through the day, but live well.

Because there’s nothing ordinary about ordinary care. 💙

Poor sleep is not just part of getting older.

Three habits that help:

Morning daylight within an hour of waking
The same wake time every day, weekends included
A wind-down routine that starts before bed, not in it

The Sleep Well pillar of our Balanced Care Method® builds these into daily care.

Save this for tonight, then tell us which one would be hardest to keep. Comment 1, 2, or 3.

Memory prompt for today: think back to the kitchen you grew up in.

What did it smell like on a Sunday? What was always on the counter? Who did the cooking, and what was their signature dish?

Reminiscence like this does more than feel good. Recalling detail, sequence, and sensory memory is real cognitive exercise, and it's a core part of the Flex Your Mind pillar of our Balanced Care Method®.

Answer in the comments, then ask a parent or grandparent the same question. Their answer might surprise you.

One move that supports balance and leg strength at any age: the sit-to-stand.

Sit toward the front of a sturdy chair. Feet flat, hands on your thighs or the armrests. Stand slowly, then sit slowly. Five in a row, twice a day. Hold onto something steady if you need to.

It's National Physical Therapy Month, a good time to build one simple habit. Save this one and tag someone who should try it with you.

Can you afford an in-home caregiver? 🤔
Here are 4 strategies that some families are using to manage the expense:
(1) If your loved one has long-term care insurance, check the policy to see if it covers some of the cost.
(2) Consider a Collective Sibling Agreement, where one or more family members pay for caregiving now with the understanding that they will be reimbursed from the estate once the parent passes.
(3) Explore a reverse mortgage, which allows your parent to use home equity to pay for care.
(4) Look into an annuity, which can turn retirement savings into a guaranteed income that could help cover the cost of caregiving services.
We encourage you to consult with a trusted financial professional who can help you explore all your options.

As a caregiver for your aging mother or father, you probably don't have much time or energy for your friends. You may feel guilty thinking about scheduling social engagements. It's easy to feel that people can't relate to your situation. Or you may be the type of person who prefers to recharge by yourself. The truth is that maintaining friendships is a critical part of self-care. Just a quick call, email, or text can help you feel more connected and let your friends know you care, even if you aren't able to make a lot of time for them. Reach out a little more often if you can... chances are you'll be glad you did.
