After more than 13 years of service, leadership, and heart, we pause to say thank you. 💙

We’re sharing a heartfelt farewell to Linda Ledford, our Home Care Nursing Director at PHC Home Health Lincolnton. Here is Linda’s message to our team:

“It is with mixed emotions that I announce my last day with Personal Home Care of NC Lincolnton Branch will be 12/31/25. I want to thank Personal Home Care of NC Lincolnton team for the opportunity that I've had for the last 13.5 years. I have grown immensely during my time here, and I appreciate the trust and opportunities that have been given me. Now I look forward to whatever God has in store for me in my next chapter. In the meantime I will spend time with my four legged children and my 4 great grandchildren.”

Linda’s leadership has strengthened our agency in lasting ways. She was instrumental in major accomplishments that helped elevate our standards of care and support our community, including:

• Initiating PHC contracts with Gaston DSS and Lincolnton DSS
• Helping lead deficiency-free audits
• Supporting RN training and the ongoing education of our aides

Linda, thank you for 13.5 years of commitment, growth, and steady leadership. Your work has made a difference for our clients, our caregivers, and our entire PHC family. 💙

We’re proud to shine a light on Jonathan from our Lincolnton team — 15 years of dedication, compassion, and truly meaningful care. 💙

Jonathan, thank you for the lives you’ve touched and the heart you bring to caregiving every single day. We are so grateful to have you as part of the PHC family.

We want you to meet the wonderful people behind the care at PHC. 💙 Say hello to Jonathan, Personal Care Assistant (PCA) with our Lincolnton branch!

Jonathan has been part of the Personal Home Care family for 15 years, and his words truly capture what meaningful caregiving is all about:

“I just want to say how grateful I am for the 15 years I’ve been with Personal Home Care. Because of this company, I’ve been able to provide care in a way that truly matters and has made a real difference in my life and in my family’s life. Personal Home Care has given me the support and stability to be there for someone I love. Knowing the company understood the importance of the work I was doing has always meant a lot and made me feel supported in my role. Fifteen years is a long time, but meaningful work makes it feel different. I’ve grown during my time here, both as a caregiver and as a person, and I appreciate the trust and opportunities I’ve been given. I’m glad to be part of Personal Home Care, and I’m thankful for the chance to keep making a positive impact through the care I provide.”

Jonathan, thank you for your dedication, your heart for caregiving, and the impact you continue to make every day. We are proud to have you as part of the PHC family. 💙

Struggling to find the perfect gift for your parents or an older loved one? You’re not alone. They often seem to have everything they need. But the most cherished gifts are not about more stuff. They are about comfort, support, and meaningful connection.

Here are 7 thoughtful gift ideas that many families find truly meaningful.

• Gifts that make daily life easier
Simple tools can make everyday tasks safer and less tiring. An electronic can opener, jar opener, or easy grip kitchen tools can be especially helpful for loved ones with arthritis or reduced hand strength.

• Vision friendly gifts
As eyesight changes with age, reading can become more challenging. An e reader allows text size to be adjusted for comfort. Pair it with a gift card so they can choose books they enjoy at their own pace.

• Puzzles and brain games
Puzzles and games support mental stimulation and relaxation. Choose themes they love, such as nature, travel, or history. Large piece puzzles, crossword books, and Sudoku are all great options.

• Gifts for loved ones with dementia or Alzheimer’s
Memory albums with family photos and short stories can bring comfort and spark recognition. Simple memory or language games can also help loved ones stay engaged and connected.

• Arts and crafts supplies
For creative seniors, gifts that support their hobbies are especially meaningful. Painting supplies, knitting yarn, sewing kits, or woodworking tools help keep hands and minds active.

• Create a themed gift basket
Personalized gift baskets add a thoughtful touch. Consider a gardening theme, a cozy movie night, or a baking basket. Creative packaging makes it even more special.

• Experiences and quality time together
One of the most meaningful gifts you can give is your time. A shared meal, a scenic drive, or a quiet afternoon together often means more than anything wrapped in a box.

At PHC Home Health, we help seniors recover, regain strength, and feel safe and supported at home. 💙

As North Carolina days grow shorter and cooler, a few simple steps can make all the difference for seniors and their families. With a little preparation, winter can feel cozy, safe, and comforting.

Here are five simple tips for a safer, happier winter:

❄️ Prevent Slips and Falls
Even in NC, icy mornings happen. Keep ice melt or sand handy for traction. Wear shoes with non-slip soles and good insulation. If running errands feels risky, ask a friend, family member, or consider a caregiver for support.

❄️ Seal in the Warmth
Weatherproof doors and windows to keep your home cozy and energy costs down. Set your thermostat to at least 68–70°F. Temperatures below 65°F can increase the risk of hypothermia for aging adults.

❄️ Check In with Your Health
Cold weather can worsen arthritis or heart symptoms. Talk with your doctor about managing these conditions during winter. Stay vaccinated, keep moving indoors, eat nourishing meals, and drink plenty of water.

❄️ Prepare for Winter Emergencies
Have a three-day supply of food, water, and medications on hand. Keep flashlights with fresh batteries and a portable phone charger ready in case of power loss.

❄️ Stay Connected
Shorter days can lead to increased isolation. Call a friend, schedule visits, or consider companionship care. Staying connected is essential for emotional and physical well-being.

If you or a loved one could use extra support this winter, PHC Home Health is here to help. 💙 From companionship to help around the house, we are here to make this season safer and brighter.

No matter how you greet the day, you deserve care that understands you.

Whether you say Hola, Salam, Dzień dobry, Привіт, Namaste, Здравствуйте, or שָׁלוֹם, PHC Home Health is here for you. We speak your language, and we make sure you feel fully heard, understood, and supported.

Clear communication is not a luxury. It is essential for safe, compassionate, and effective care at home.
• We do our best to match clients with caregivers who can connect in the language they’re most comfortable with.
• We take time to understand cultural preferences, traditions, and communication styles.
• We believe care should feel familiar, respectful, and truly personal.

When your caregiver understands your words, your needs, and your story, care becomes more than a service. It becomes trust. It becomes comfort. It becomes home. 💙

Reach out today to learn how we can support you with personalized, culturally attuned care.
