When Texas communities unite, incredible things happen. Let's stand together against the heat! 🤝There's nothing quite like the pride of being from Texas, especially when our communities come together to uplift those in need. Since 2020, Central Texas has seen over 4,174 emergency department visits for heat-related illnesses, underscoring the ongoing crisis. The Family Eldercare Summer Fan Drive embodies this spirit. It’s not just about distributing fans; it's about building a stronger, more resilient community where everyone is looked after. This is the holistic approach we cherish, nurtured by the values instilled through Texas education. Let's make this our most impactful drive yet!

Support Is Closer Than It Seems 🌿

Many families are overwhelmed — not just by care needs, but by costs.
What they often don’t know is that local support systems already exist.

Through Area Agencies on Aging, families may have access to:
🧡 In-home personal care
🧡 Respite for family caregivers
🧡 Meal delivery, rides to appointments, and more

I help families weave these resources together — combining what’s available in the community with professional in-home care.

It’s not just about services — it’s about ease, dignity, and peace of mind.

Right at Home is honored to highlight Jasper, a care professional from Right at Home Overland Park, Kansas, for the compassion and thoughtfulness she brings to her work every day. When Jasper learned that her client Linda would be spending her 56th wedding anniversary without her late husband, she found a beautiful way to honor their love. Knowing that Linda still greets and speaks to her husband each day, Jasper drew a portrait of him so Linda could feel his presence more closely. She also brought her flowers, not from herself, but as a loving gesture "from her husband," just as he would have done.

Jasper’s actions reflect the heart of our mission to improve the quality of life for those we serve. She reminded us that caregiving is not just about meeting physical needs, but about recognizing the emotional depth of each person’s story. We are grateful to Jasper for her empathy, creativity, and the meaningful connection she has built with Linda.

At 91, Dottie Dorion has crushed over 2,900 Peloton rides, but when she saw the age categories capped at 60+, she wasn’t about to compete with “those young 80-year-olds.”

Determined to make a change, Dottie launched a 14-month campaign, writing letters and even enlisting legal help to push Peloton to recognize older riders. Eventually, her persistence paid off, and Peloton added new age brackets for 90+ and 100+ riders.

Dottie's a lifelong athlete with 250+ marathons and triathlons under her belt, including three Ironmans. She has been moving since childhood and doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon.

Dottie shares, “You can never give up. If you’re doing the right things for the right reasons, it’s gonna turn out well.”
