Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults, especially those living with dementia, but many falls can be prevented.

Take a few minutes this week to check for:
🚧 Trip hazards
💡 Proper lighting
🧹 Cluttered spaces

Discuss fall risks with loved ones. Helping seniors stay safe at home is one of the many ways we support independence and confidence every day.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the courage shown on September 11, 2001.

On this Patriot Day and the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we honor the memory of those we lost and express our gratitude to the first responders, service members, and everyday heroes who answered the call with strength and selflessness.

As caregivers, we are reminded that compassion, connection, and caring for one another remain some of the most powerful ways we can honor their legacy.

Thank you to our Caregiver of the Month for May: Pamela Peal
Pam shared: "Being a HomeWatch Caregiver gives me the opportunity to help people with their everyday activities they are having trouble doing themselves or can no longer do. I love spending time with people, whether I am simply keeping them company, helping them, or caring for them. It is great to be able to give their loved ones the opportunity to be able to do things for themselves, maybe get away for a little bit or simply relax."

We appreciate you Pam so much!

We love our Caregivers! Congratulations Rosellen for being Caregiver of the Month! Here is why Rosellen loves being a Caregiver: "I love being an encourager and a "cheering up" person. Our wonderful clients need that as much as their physical and housekeeping needs met. I love it when their countenances brighten up, and they're so glad to see me when I come through the door. I love this job!"

"I thoroughly enjoy working at Homewatch as a Companion Caregiver. For those I care for, I like to listen to what's on their mind, and try to make their day a little brighter. I really appreciate the flexibility Homewatch offers for work-life balance so that I not only care for my awesome "Companions," but also have the needed time for my family."--Leslie
