Supporting a loved one with dementia doesn’t require grand gestures—it’s often the smallest, most consistent moments that make the biggest difference.
With the right approach, emotional connection, and trusted in-home care, family caregivers can help their loved ones feel secure, included, and appreciated every day.
Save this post as your go-to guide for helping older adults stay safe, cool, and cared for all summer long. ⤵

“No one can do it 24/7."
Even the most devoted caregivers need time to recharge. Respite care isn't just a luxury, it’s a necessity for your well-being and your loved one’s continued care at home. Whether it's for a coffee break, a workout, or simply a moment of quiet, taking time for yourself helps you show up stronger.
💬 How do you make time for yourself as a caregiver?

When Thao walks into the room, a veteran with advanced Parkinson’s — mostly nonverbal — lights up and says, “There’s my angel.”
Thao Nguyen, a Care Pro with Home Instead, doesn’t just show up. She brings music. She brings home-cooked Vietnamese meals. She brings peace of mind.
Originally from Vietnam, Thao cared for her grandmother and extended family from a young age. That lifelong devotion to elders followed her to the U.S., where a neighbor introduced her to caregiving.
One family loved her cooking so much, they stocked their pantry just so Thao could prepare her signature dishes. Another client requested her by name each week, just to hear her music in the hall.
“I treat them like my own parents,” Thao says. “I love them so much.”
Thank you, Thao, for reminding us that exceptional caregiving isn’t just noticed.
Let this story be a reminder: great care creates connection that lasts.

Trusted Senior Home Care Since 1994
Paul and Lori Hogan founded Home Instead, Inc. in 1994 in Omaha, Nebraska. Paul's own family experience caring for his grandmother led him to realize many families could use the help of an in-home caregiver. He and Lori set about creating a company to help seniors to live independently at home. That mission still drives the company and its franchise network today.
Home Instead, Inc. began franchising in 1995. Today, the Home Instead Senior Care network has grown to include more than 1,000 franchises around the world -- including this office in Statesville. While our franchise network is international, our office is local. And to us, senior home care is personal.
To Us It’s Personal
Creighton Gibson opened the franchise in Statesville, NC in 2002. After looking for in-home care for his parents, he could not find anyone in our area at that time that offered the type of care he needed for them, or the level of compassion and understanding that they deserved. After realizing the need, he began researching in-home care franchises. The Mission and values of Home Instead Senior Care Inc., matched what Creighton was looking for. He took a leap of faith by quitting his full-time job and began his Home Instead Senior Care franchise. Since then, the franchise has grown to currently serve over 120 clients, and employ around 150 caregivers and CNAs.
