58 years ago today, Captain Eugene “Red” McDaniel was shot down over Vietnam.

He survived six brutal years as a POW and returned home with unwavering courage and conviction. Today, we honor his incredible journey—from combat pilot to national hero, advocate, and our beloved Chairman Emeritus.

His life is a testament to resilience, patriotism, and faith. We are proud to share his story.

It’s a bittersweet time at the office as we say "Happy 2nd Retirement" to Gertrude, one of our best caregivers! Gertrude has been an integral part of our City Contract care team for many years, working with multiple clients across the area. After serving as a civil servant and working with the Federal Government for many years, Gertrude retired—but her love for helping seniors brought her back to caregiving on a part-time basis. Each client she worked with would tell you she became like family to them. To honor her, we had her stop by the office to receive a few small gifts and a card from the entire team, thanking her for being so amazing. We wish you all the best, Gertrude—your kindness and dedication will never be forgotten!

Our caregiver, Tiruwork (Terry), stopped by the office yesterday to pick up a heartfelt letter from a family she recently supported through hospice care. Inside was a Christmas card, a bonus, and a touching note thanking her for the incredible care she provided in their loved one's final months. They even called her part of the 'Dream Team' of caregivers who offered 24/7 support. We are so grateful for dedicated caregivers on our team like Terry who make a lasting impact! 🌟

As we wrap up Fall Safety Week, let’s focus on fostering connections with our aging loved ones this season. It’s essential to make them feel included and valued as part of the family, especially as the holidays approach.

Here are some heartfelt ways to keep your loved ones connected this fall:

1. Invite them to participate in family activities, like cooking fall recipes together or sharing stories around the table. These moments create lasting memories and a sense of belonging.

2. Plan family game nights or movie marathons where everyone can join in, making sure your loved ones feel engaged and entertained.

3. Use the upcoming holidays to create special traditions that include them, ensuring they feel embraced and appreciated in the family.

By intentionally involving your loved ones in family life, you can help them feel cherished and connected this fall!

As part of what we're calling 'Fall Safety Week', we want to highlight how important proper nutrition is for keeping your loved ones energized and healthy as the weather cools down.
Whether it's our caregivers helping with meals or you cooking for your loved ones, the key is providing delicious, nutritious meals that support their health. Good food not only nourishes the body but also boosts independence and well-being.

Here are 3 cozy, healthy fall recipes to try this week:

🥣 Butternut Squash Soup: Creamy, nutritious, and packed with vitamins A and C. It's the perfect way to start a chilly fall evening.

🍁 Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal: Warm, comforting, and heart-healthy. Add a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for an extra nutrient boost.

🍲 Hearty Vegetable Stew: A warm and filling dish full of seasonal veggies like carrots, potatoes, and kale. Great for boosting immunity as the weather cools down.

Happy first week of fall from ACCfamily! 🍂 As the season begins to change, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how we can be intentional with our family time. This week, we’ll be sharing safety tips, cozy recipes, and some encouragement to help you make the most of this season. Starting first with some safety tips:

Fall Safety Tip #1: Clear walkways of leaves and debris to prevent slips and falls. Make sure pathways are well-lit and free from obstacles.

Fall Safety Tip #2: Keep an eye on the weather. Cooler temperatures can lead to cold-related illnesses for older adults. Make sure your loved ones are dressed warmly in layers and have appropriate heating.

Fall Safety Tip #3: Prepare for shorter days by ensuring your home is well-lit. Install night lights in hallways and bathrooms to help with evening mobility.

With years of experience, we know that being proactive is key to extending the independence of your aging loved ones and we hope this is a reminder to take small steps to help keep your loved ones safe this season!

"Honestly, if you need care for yourself or your loved one, you cannot go wrong with ACC. My mom had a number of issues that needed tending to, including memory issues and regular visits to the doctor for chemo and blood transfusions. I interviewed several agencies in search of the right care for her, and ACC was it. ACC worked with us every step of the way, understanding her needs and finding us the right caretakers..." - Catherine P.
