Stay in the home you love with the help of HomeLife Care from help with meals and mobility to personal care and errands, our in-home care lends a helping hand while enhancing our client's quality of life. Descriptions of our standard and custom in-home care services are below. Personal Care Services

Bathing, Grooming and Hygiene

For clients who have physical or cognitive impairments or who fear falling while bathing, having help maintaining a bath time routine can postpone future decline and disability. HomeLife Care goal is to assist our clients with their personal care routines so they can look and feel their best. Our services enhance clients mental and physical wellbeing, helping them feel positive about their appearance. Mobility Assistance

Getting out and about offers many physical and mental health benefits to clients, including lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk for heart problems, osteoporosis, and depression. Being active also can also help improve their quality of life by controlling weight and improving sleep. HomeLife Care caregivers assist clients as needed with getting from place to place to help them stay as active as possible. Transferring and Positioning

Our HomeLife Care caregivers are trained to safely move clients in and out of beds, into chairs or wheelchairs, or onto toilets. Proper transferring and positioning in and out of beds and chairs can reduce the risk of bedsores, reduce weakening and stiffening of muscles, and encourage proper breathing and digestion. It also helps them be as comfortable as possible. Toileting and Incontinence Care

Many clients may feel embarrassed with needing help with toileting and incontinence care, but it is actually a common issue. Incontinence can be caused by a variety of reasons, including stress and disease. When clients don’t have help, skin infections, unpleasant odors, and general hygiene problems can be a danger, not to mention lead to even more embarrassment. We step in to compassionately and sensitively assess the problem and make a care plan, helping clients maintain dignity and self-esteem as they receive help with the more personal aspects of daily living. Feeding and Special Diet

Eating well is important at every life stage and even small dietary improvements can make a positive impact on how someone feels. A variety of nutritional problems can arise. Some clients have difficulty feeding themselves especially seniors. Others have problems with chewing and digestion, difficulty tasting and smelling, or experience a loss of appetite. Many clients simply do not want to eat alone. Our HomeLife Care caregivers help certain clients stay on prescribed diets to prevent or control a wide variety of medical conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Our caregivers also help clients eat nutritious diets to promote disease prevention, healing, and healthy living. We make an extra effort to turn meals into enjoyable social time by engaging our clients in conversation over food. Companionship and Care Services

Conversation and Companionship

Studies show that staying social and engaged increases client's quality of life and prevents depression and cognitive decline. Our caregivers can provide clients with friendly company, conversation, and mealtime companionship. Meal Preparation

Eating nutritious meals can make health issues easier to manage, help prevent future health problems, help increase energy levels, and keep weight in check. For clients who have trouble with meal preparation, our caregivers can cook hot, delicious, wholesome meals, allowing clients to help with preparation according to their ability. Preparing food together can make mealtime a more social and enjoyable experience. Laundry

Clean laundry is a must, but for some seniors this chore can be too physically demanding to do alone. Our HomeLife Care caregivers can take care of all laundry needs, either in the client’s home or at a nearby laundromat. Services include washing, drying, ironing, and putting laundry away. Our caregivers work with clients to make sure laundry is done according to their preferences. Light Housekeeping

Housekeeping help can prolong a client's ability to live independently at home. HomeLife Care light housekeeping services include vacuuming, dusting, sweeping and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms (sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets), cleaning kitchens (sinks, appliances, counters, taking out trash), straightening all rooms, organizing closets and drawers, and cleaning any interior windows that can be reached without a ladder. HomeLife Care does not provide outdoor cleaning or maintenance. Grocery Shopping/Errands

Illness, weakness, and an inability to drive are just a few factors keeping seniors from working through an ordinary to-do list. Having help with shopping and errands keeps clients engaged and improves quality of life. Our caregivers can shop for groceries at their clients preferred stores and run errands, such as picking up prescriptions or stopping at the post office. Clients may choose to stay home or come along for the ride as a way to stay active and engaged, we can discuss all options. Transportation

One way to help prevent the social isolation, loneliness, and depression common in clients is to simply get out and about. If driving isn’t an option, we can discuss options for transportation services, such as taking clients to medical appointments, barbershops, beauty salons, shopping, meeting a friend for lunch, or wherever else a client needs to go. Being out and about is good for the mind, body, and spirit. Medication Reminders

Although HomeLife Care cannot administer medications, they can help ensure that clients take their medication as prescribed. HomeLife Care can assist with opening medication containers, reading labels, and reminding the client when it is time for the next dose. Grooming Guidance

Paying special attention to grooming can help a client feel and look better. For some clients grooming can sometimes present physical challenges. HomeLife Care assist clients with shampooing, shaving, hair combing and styling, and other grooming needs so clients can look and feel their best.

12/16/2025

The holidays are often filled with sharing, laughter and memories, but they can also bring stress, disappointment or sadness for those living with dementia and caregivers. These tips can help you safely enjoy time with family and friends during the holidays.

*Adjust expectations. The stress of caregiving responsibilities plus holiday traditions can take a toll. Focus on the things that bring happiness and give yourself permission to let go of activities that seem overwhelming or stressful.

*Familiarize others with the situation. There may be significant changes that have occurred since the person with dementia last interacted with some loved ones, and it can be helpful to let family members and friends know what to expect.

*Involve the person living with dementia in holiday preparation activities that they enjoy, such as helping with food preparation, decorating or wrapping gifts.

*Build on past traditions and memories. Those living with dementia may find comfort in singing old holiday songs, watching favorite holiday movies, or looking through old photo albums.

*Connect through technology. Video calls can be a great way to connect with those who cannot visit in person. If your loved one lives in a long-term care community or struggles with technology, ask a primary caregiver if they can help facilitate a video call.

Bacon Ranch Cheese Ball

The easiest and absolute BEST cheese ball recipe. Cream cheese with Ranch, bacon bits, nuts, and cheese - so GOOD! Serve the cheese ball as an appetizer for potlucks and around the Holidays or any occasion.

8 oz bacon, chopped, divided
1/4 cup sour cream
16 oz cream cheese, room temp
1/2 cup Mexican cheese, shredded (4 cheese blend)
1 1/4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
1/4 cup green onions, chopped and divided
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped and divided
2 to 3 Tbsp Ranch seasoning, add to taste*
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 1/4 tsp poppyseeds, divided
Pita Chips and/or Crackers for serving

Cut bacon into small pieces and sauté until cooked. Once cooled, set aside 1/4 of the bacon for the topping.

In a bowl, add 3/4 of the bacon, 1/4 cup sour cream, 16 oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup four-cheese blend, 1 cup cheddar cheese, 3 Tbsp green onions, 1/4 cup walnuts, 3 Tbsp Ranch seasoning, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1 tsp poppy seeds. With a wooden spatula, mix all ingredients until well combined.

Finely chop the remaining 1/4 of bacon, 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 1 Tbsp green onion, and 1/4 cup walnuts. Mix together with the 1/4 tsp poppy seed. Spread this mixture onto a cutting board.
Form a ball out of the cheese mixture and roll the cheese ball over the toppings to fully coat and shape into an even ball as it's coated. Serve right away or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

*Add the ranch seasoning to taste - there are different brands and recently one of the major brands seems to have changed their formulation requiring 2 Tbsp per 16 oz of dressing rather than 3 Tbsp in their previous formulation. Start with 2 Tbsp and add it to taste so your cheeseball doesn't end up too salty.

Christmas casseroles are a must-have on the table, but they can often be the pinnacle of decadent comfort food. To break up the richness, I always love adding these simple, no-fuss roasted vegetables to the menu. Brussels sprouts and carrots are the stars of the show here, while dried cranberries and balsamic vinegar add some sweetness and tartness, and pecans provide an extra crunch. It’s a fall side dish that’s simple, versatile, and a surprising holiday favorite, year after year.

Good news: If you're low on oven space, you can use your air fryer instead! The counter appliance is essentially a mini convection oven and results in extra-crispiness. We have directions for both methods in the recipe below.

Holiday Roasted Veggie Medley

3/4 lb. Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 large carrots, peeled, sliced into 1/2” pieces
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. finely chopped rosemary
1 Tbsp. finely chopped thyme
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup toasted pecans

*Oven Method*

Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. Scatter Brussels sprouts and carrots on a large baking sheet. Toss with garlic, oil, honey, vinegar, rosemary, and thyme, season with salt and pepper.

Bake, shaking sheet halfway through, until vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Toss vegetables with cranberries and pecans.

*Air Fryer Method*

In a large bowl, toss Brussels sprouts, carrots, garlic, oil, honey, vinegar, rosemary, and thyme; season with salt and pepper.

Place vegetables in the basket of an air fryer and cook at 400°, shaking basket halfway through, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Toss vegetables with cranberries and pecans.

Everyone has challenging moments, especially this time of year during the holidays, but if you or a loved one has been feeling sad, irritable or numb for longer than a few days, consider checking in with a doctor.

A quick set of questions, sometimes called a depression screening, is a simple way to see how you or your loved one is doing. You can even use an online version. It can’t diagnose depression, but it could provide a starting point for a conversation with a doctor.

Here’s an online screening from Mental Health America: https://screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/depression/?layout=actions_c

❄️Winter Weather Precautions to Take❄️

Baby, It’s Cold Outside! When the temperature drops, older adults run a higher risk of health problems and injuries related to the weather, including hypothermia, frostbite, and falls in ice and snow. Like most things in life, it is better to be prepared.

Here are a few precautions everyone should take during the winter for their loved ones young and old.

1. Hypothermia

Hypothermia occurs when your body temperature drops to a dangerous level. Your body temperature can drop when you are out in the cold for an extended time because it begins to lose heat quickly. Older adults are at an increased risk of hypothermia due to changes that happen to your body with aging.

Warning Signs: cold skin that is pale or ashy; feeling very tired, confused and sleepy; feeling weak; problems walking; slowed breathing or heart rate. Call 911 if you think you or someone else has hypothermia.

Note: Shivering is not a reliable warning sign because older people tend to shiver less or not at all when their body temperature drops.

Precautions to Take

❄️Stay indoors (or don’t stay outside for very long).
❄️Keep indoor temperature at 65 degrees or warmer.
❄️Stay dry because wet clothing chills your body more quickly.
❄️Dress smart – protect your lungs from cold air. Layer up! Wearing 2 or 3 thinner layers of loose-fitting clothing is warmer than a single layer of thick clothing. Think about getting your thermals!
❄️Essential winter wear: hats, gloves (or preferably mittens), winter coat, boots, and a scarf to cover your mouth and nose.

2. Frostbite

Frostbite occurs when your body experiences damage to the skin that can go all the way down to the bone. Not surprisingly, extreme cold can cause frostbite. It is most likely to occur on body parts farthest away from your heart. Common places include your nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, and toes. In severe cases, frostbite can result in loss of limbs. People with heart disease and other circulation problems are at a higher risk.

Cover up! All parts of your body should be covered when you go out in the cold. If your skin turns red or dark or starts hurting, go inside right away.

Know the warning signs of frostbite: skin that’s white or ashy or grayish yellow; skin that feels hard or waxy; numbness. If you think you or someone else has frostbite, call for medical help immediately.

If frostbite occurs, run the affected area under warm (not hot) water.

3. Injury While Shoveling Snow

It’s one of the evils of winter – snow shoveling. If you choose to shovel, take some precautions. Remember, when it’s cold outside, your heart works double time to keep you warm. Strenuous activities like shoveling snow may put too much strain on your heart, especially if you have heart disease. Shoveling can also be dangerous if you have problems with balance or have “thin bones” (osteoporosis).

Ask your healthcare provider whether shoveling or other work in the snow is safe for you.

4. Falls

It is easy to slip and fall in the winter, especially in icy and snowy conditions.

Precautions to Take

❄️Make sure steps and walkways are clear before you walk. Be especially careful if you see wet pavements that could be iced over.
❄️Clear away snow and salt your walkways at home or hire someone to do it.
❄️Wear boots with non-skid soles – this will prevent you from slipping.
❄️If you use a cane, replace the rubber tip before it is worn smooth.
❄️Consider an ice pick-like attachment that fits onto the end of the cane for additional traction.

5. Fires and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

During the winter months, it is common to use the fireplace or other heating sources, such as natural gas, kerosene, and other fuels. Unless fireplaces, wood and gas stoves and gas appliances are properly vented, cleaned, and used, they can leak dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide a deadly gas that you cannot see or smell. These and other appliances, such as space heaters, can also be fire hazards.

Warning Signs

❄️Headache
❄️Weakness
❄️Nausea or vomiting
❄️Dizziness
❄️Confusion
❄️Blurred vision
❄️Loss of consciousness

If you think you may have carbon monoxide poisoning, get into fresh air and get medical care immediately.

Precautions to Take

❄️Call an inspector to have your chimneys and flues inspected – preferred annually.
❄️Open a window (when using a kerosene stove) – just a crack will do.
❄️Place smoke detectors and battery-operated carbon monoxide detectors in strategic places – especially in areas where you use fireplaces, wood stoves, or kerosene heaters.
❄️Make sure space heaters are at least 3 feet away from anything that might catch fire, such as curtains, bedding, and furniture.
❄️Never try to heat your home using a gas stove, charcoal grill, or other stoves not made for home heating.
❄️If there is a fire, don't try to put it out. Leave the house and call 911.
❄️Accidents While Driving
❄️Adults 65 and older are involved in more car crashes per mile driven than those in nearly all other age groups. Winter is an especially important time to be vigilant when driving because road conditions and weather may not be optimal.

Precautions to Take

❄️“Winterize” your car before the bad weather hits! This means having the antifreeze, tires, and windshield wipers checked and changed if necessary.
❄️Remember your cell phone when you drive in bad weather, and always let someone know where you are going and when you should be expected back.
❄️Avoid driving on icy roads and be especially careful driving on overpasses or bridges. Consider alternate routes, even if it means driving a longer distance, if the more direct route is less safe. Often bigger roads are cleared of snow better than smaller roads.
❄️Stock your car with basic emergency supplies such as:

First aid kit
Blankets
Extra warm clothes
Booster cables
Windshield scraper
Shovel
Rock salt or a bag of sand or cat litter (in case your wheels get stuck)
Water and dried food or canned food (with can opener!)
Flashlight
Map (if traveling in new areas)

Hello November

The month of Thanksgiving, family, friends, and good food. November is a wonderful time to reflect on all we are grateful for. It's a special time, from Thanksgiving to the start of the holiday season.

A month of cool weather, warm drinks, and cozy fires, the air grows chilly, the trees grow bare, and the sun shows its face less and less. It’s also the time of year when we start to hunker down and prepare for the long winter ahead. Winter is arriving, but our hearts are anything but cold!
