Many factors influence healthy aging. Here are some factors that influence healthy aging and wellness so seniors can remain independent.

Every Independence Day, we pause to honor the heroes who gave everything. Some of their names are lost to history – but their bravery is not.

This past July 4th, Home Helpers® Home Care CEO & President Emma Dickison had the extraordinary honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, with proud U.S. Veteran and Home Helpers® Home Care franchisee, David Conolly, who serves the Tri-Cities, VA community.

This moment held deep personal meaning for Emma, whose father bravely served during WWII with the 83rd Army "Thunderbolt" Infantry Division. He came home. So many others did not.

At Home Helpers®, we proudly stand beside our nation’s heroes—Veterans who continue their legacy of service as franchisees and Caregivers, delivering exceptional care in communities across the country. We’re also deeply honored to care for those who once served. Their stories inspire us every day, and we take great pride in Taking Care of the Greatest Generation … Yours.®💙

Today and every day, we remember. We honor. And we give thanks.

Medication schedules can be confusing. Our caregivers offer reminders and organization support to help seniors stay on track and avoid missed doses or dangerous mix-ups.

At Home Helpers® Home Care, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Every senior deserves a plan that fits their unique needs, goals, and personality because growing older should still mean growing well.
