“To provide care for the people who once cared for us is one of life’s greatest honors.”

Caring for an aging parent is deeply meaningful and it can also be overwhelming. PHC Home Health is here to walk beside you. Our Respite Care & Family Relief offers short-term caregiver coverage so you can rest, recharge, and return to your loved one with confidence, while we ensure seamless continuity of care.

Need ongoing help at home? Our in-home support in Charlotte includes personal care (bathing, dressing), meal preparation, medication reminders, and companionship, so older adults and those with disabilities can maintain independence safely at home.

You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re just a phone call away.

🍂 September is Falls Prevention Awareness Month 🍂

Did you know that 1 in 4 adults over age 65 experiences a fall each year? Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations for seniors—often resulting in hip fractures, reduced activity, and loss of independence.

💙 The good news? Most falls can be prevented.

At PHC Home Health, our caregivers help by:
✓ Assessing fall risks and spotting hazards (loose rugs, poor lighting, clutter).
✓ Supporting safe mobility and proper use of assistive devices.
✓ Guiding strength and balance exercises to improve stability.
✓ Offering emotional reassurance and involving families in prevention.

🌟 Quick Home Safety Tips:
✓ Bright entryways with railings and non-slip mats.
✓ Clear walkways, remove throw rugs, secure cords.
✓ Grab bars and non-slip mats in the bathroom.
✓ Nightlights and sturdy shoes near the bed.

Together, we can help seniors live with safety, confidence, and dignity at home.

The time is always right to stay informed and talk about Alzheimer’s - especially this September for World Alzheimer’s Month. 💜

For people living with dementia, safe, familiar surroundings make every day easier. Thoughtful in-home support can help manage symptoms, prevent avoidable hospital visits, and protect quality of life at home.

This month, we raise awareness, stand with caregivers, and honor the strength of those living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Our compassionate PHC Home Health team provides specialized support so seniors can live safely and with dignity at home.

3 simple ways to help a loved one today
• Create a calm, familiar routine (favorite music, photos, same mealtimes).
• Make the home dementia-friendly (clear pathways, labels, night lights).
• Keep a safety plan handy (med list, emergency contacts, wandering plan).

We’re proud to support the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s - advancing research, advocacy, and the mission to end this disease. We’d love for you to join our walk: 👉 http://act.alz.org/goto/PHCHomeHealth

If your loved one needs care, we’re here for you.

Caring for an aging loved one is a journey of love, but even the strongest caregivers can wonder if they're doing enough. If you've noticed changes that leave you feeling unsure, here are 5 signs it may be time to consider in-home care:

1️⃣ Difficulty with Daily Tasks: Are once-simple activities like bathing, getting dressed, or managing medications becoming a struggle? This is often the first sign that a helping hand can make all the difference in maintaining safety and independence.

2️⃣ Noticeable Decline: Significant weight loss, unsteady walking, frequent forgetfulness (like missing appointments or mixing up pills), or increasing confusion are clear indicators your loved one's needs may have changed.

3️⃣ Social Withdrawal: Have they lost interest in friends, family, or hobbies they once loved? Social isolation and signs of loneliness can impact emotional and physical health. Compassionate companionship is powerful medicine.

4️⃣ Unkempt Home: A once-tidy house that's now consistently cluttered, with piles of laundry, dirty dishes, or spoiled food, isn't just messy—it's a red flag that daily chores are becoming overwhelming and potentially unsafe.

5️⃣ Personality Changes: Increased agitation, sudden mood swings, or a loss of interest in life can be more than just "aging." It can signal an underlying issue that benefits from professional monitoring and care.

You know your loved one best. If these signs feel familiar, it might be time to explore how professional, in-home support can enhance their quality of life and give you peace of mind.

At PHC Home Health, we provide highly skilled, compassionate care that allows your loved one to thrive in the place they love most: home.

Happy National Dog Day (Aug 26)! 🐾💙

Dogs aren’t just adorable - they’re wellness partners. For many seniors, a furry friend can mean more movement, more smiles, and more connection.

Here’s how pups can help older adults thrive:
• Move more: Gentle walks and play keep joints moving and hearts healthy.
• Feel better: Petting a dog can ease stress and lift mood.
• Companionship: Loyal love fights loneliness and gives daily purpose.
• Community: Walks spark friendly chats and new connections.
• Heart & brain benefits: Pet ownership is linked with better cardiovascular health and may help keep minds engaged.
• Added safety: Specially trained service dogs can assist with health alerts and daily tasks.
