On Halloween night, the line between worlds grows thin… 🕯️ But the only spirits we’re expecting are tiny witches and wobbly skeletons. Wishing you a hauntingly happy Halloween! Light your walkways, drive slowly, and keep an eye out for little goblins crossing the street. 🦇

Most older adults don’t plan for the care they might need in the future until they’re already in the middle of a crisis. Decisions that should be thought out carefully don’t need to be made in a hospital hallway, under stress and with limited information.

In the United States, 9 out of 10 people who have a cardiac arrest outside of the hospital die.

Yesterday, we had the American Heart Association join us at the office for a hands-on CPR demonstration. Knowing what to do in an emergency can make all the difference. We’re grateful to everyone who took the time to learn, practice, and ask questions, and especially to the American Heart Association for sharing their expertise with our team and community.

When it comes to caring for others, being prepared matters. ❤️

"Caregiving starts with a genuine heart.” 💙

That’s how Gayle, our October Caregiver of the Month, describes the work she loves. Inspired by family members who were caregivers and nurses, she has spent years helping others feel loved and safe, and for the past year she has brought that care to our clients.

Her clients’ smiles are what remind her why she does this work. Thank you, Gayle, for everything you give. 🎉

In this episode of the Right at Home podcast, we sit down with Sami Freitas to talk about the financial side of aging—and the conversations many families don't have until they have to.

Thank you, Sami, for joining us and sharing your perspective on an important part of aging that doesn't always get enough attention.

When Right At Home Anne Arundel County client and veteran Mr. Thomas spent a night in the hospital, Community Relations Coordinator Kimi-Roux James stopped by to check on him and deliver a care package. Mr. Thomas shared that the visit "perked him up," and even noted that the teddy bear included in the package reminded him of his daughter's collection.

During their conversation, Kimi-Roux learned that Mr. Thomas was just days away from celebrating his 100th birthday. The team quickly came together to make sure the occasion didn't go unnoticed. Alongside a family celebration complete with dinner and cake, Right at Home presented him with a 100-Year Milestone Certificate to recognize this remarkable achievement.

What started as a simple hospital visit became an opportunity to celebrate a century of memories and remind someone that they are valued. Kimi-Roux's thoughtfulness is a great example of how meaningful it can be to simply show up, listen, and help people feel connected to those around them.

Halloween is about the doorbell, the costumes and the little ones saying “trick or treat.” Limited mobility shouldn’t mean sitting it out.
A little planning makes the evening easier and safer. Trick-or-treaters arrive in waves, in the dark, and the rush to the door is when slips and trips are most likely. If getting up and down is tiring, set up a comfortable spot by the entrance so you can greet everyone without hurrying. Keep your treats and your walker or cane within easy reach, and make sure the walkway and porch are well lit and clear of decorations, cords and uneven spots.

Know someone who loves seeing the costumes? Share this with them.

Your heart works hard for you every day. Support it with simple choices that add up over time: move your body, prioritize sleep, eat well, manage stress, and stay on top of preventive care. Healthy aging starts with everyday habits!

A costume should add to the fun, not get in the way of the chair. Here is why each safety tip matters:

Keep fabric and decorations away from the wheels. Loose material can catch in the wheels or push rims, which can stop the chair suddenly or pull the person off balance.

Keep brakes, controls and armrests reachable. Being able to stop, steer and push up from the armrests is what keeps the person in charge of their own chair, so nothing should cover them.

Use lightweight materials. Heavy or tall add-ons shift the chair’s weight, which makes it easier to tip over curbs, ramps or doorways.

Add reflective tape or LED lights. After dark, a costume can hide the chair’s usual shape. Lights help drivers and other trick-or-treaters see the person.

Test it indoors first. Rolling through a doorway, reaching the brakes and sitting for a while will show any problem before the night begins, when it’s easy to fix.

Plan it together, pick the character and build it with the chair in mind.

Please join us in congratulating our October Residence Week graduates! 🎉

This group includes new Right at Home owners, an existing owner, and team members from established Right at Home offices. Throughout the week, they came together to learn, collaborate, build connections, and deepen their understanding of the Right at Home system.

One of the most meaningful Residence Week traditions is graduation, where classmates recognize one another and share heartfelt reflections on how their peers shaped their experience. It's always inspiring to see individuals from different backgrounds, roles, and experiences come together to support and learn from one another.

Congratulations to this exceptional class on reaching this milestone. We can't wait to see the impact they'll make as they continue their Right at Home journey. 🩵🧡

Earlier this month, Air Force veteran Ron and Army veteran Clarence traveled to Washington, D.C., on a Queen City Honor Flight, visiting memorials honoring the sacrifices of those who served before them and alongside them.

Right at Home Rock Hill owner and Navy veteran Jim Ryan joined them as one of their guardians on the trip. He was proud to help celebrate this unforgettable experience and two American heroes.

"Ron and Clarence, thank you for your service and for allowing me to share this meaningful moment with you. I am proud to be part of this one last mission!"

Falls are not a normal part of aging, yet they remain one of the leading causes of injury among older adults.

The good news is that many falls can be prevented with a combination of simple home modifications, healthy habits, and proactive healthcare.

A few weeks ago, members of the Right at Home corporate team had the opportunity to volunteer with The Furniture Project - Omaha, where service took many forms. Some assembled toddler beds, some shopped for families in need, and others helped prepare incoming donations for their next home.

We also had the chance to connect with founder Drew Gerken, who shared the story behind the organization and the ways our missions intersect. His commitment to helping people live with dignity in their homes reflects the same values that inspire the work we do every day. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside an organization making such a meaningful impact in our community.
