Seniors are feeling lonely and it’s affecting their health and wellbeing. People aren’t meant to be alone, especially later in life. If you or a loved one is experiencing isolation or loneliness, consider finding an in-home caregiver to help with companion care. It’s okay to want someone around for extra help – don’t hesitate to reach out!

We generally need in-home care because something is preventing us from managing our daily needs alone. It might be illness, age, or injury, but whatever it is, it’s likely to make us feel vulnerable. That’s why it’s important to find an in-home caregiver you can trust. One that matches your personality and meets your unique needs. Get help finding your right fit with ameriCARE!

The Mayo Clinic explains that it's normal to have some days when you feel down. But if you or a loved one feels down for days at a time and can't get motivated to do activities you normally enjoy, see your health care provider. This is especially important if your sleep patterns and appetite have changed, you turn to alcohol for comfort or relaxation, or you feel hopeless or think about su***de.

The month of January is, historically, a period of critical blood shortages in the US. People get busy and stop donating blood during the holidays and or get sick during cold and flu season and can’t donate. We encourage you to go out and donate blood this month and help save lives! You never know who may need it!
Social isolation is a lack of social connections and it can be incredibly destructive. Those managing chronic illness or age-related disability may struggle to connect with friends or loved ones. Having a companion to talk with and rely on can be life-saving! Consider finding a non-medical companion caregiver for your loved one.
Companion care is a form of non-medical in-home caregiving for the elderly, those with chronic illness, or those recovering from surgery. Companion caregivers help with basic housekeeping, planning, and accompany their clients on errands and appointments. But more importantly, they offer an open ear to listen and a shoulder to lean on.
We’re welcoming 2022 with open hearts, open minds, and a renewed drive to provide the best in-home care available to seniors, those recovering from surgery, and those dealing with chronic illness! Together, we can make life better!

Thanksgiving can get away from us sometimes. Between complicated recipes, decorations, planning, and schedules, it’s easy to forget the small details that mean so much for those with limited mobility. If you have a guest with limited mobility this year, be sure to walk through your home and remove tripping hazards, create an action plan for entry and exit of your home, and make your delicious dishes easily accessible for those with limited dexterity. This simple attention to their experience can make all the difference!
That’s 29 percent of the adult U.S. population. Research indicates that caregiving takes a significant emotional, physical, and financial toll on family caregivers – many of whom experience their own decline in health while providing care. If you are providing care to a loved one, please remember you cannot pour from an empty cup. It’s okay to reach out for help and take a break when you need it. Check out our flexible respite care options to make your life a little easier!

A study of 2,000 Americans recently revealed that 68% of Americans consider the holiday season, stretching from Thanksgiving to Hanukkah and through Christmas to be a stressful time. There’s so much to do and we get stretched thin between our professional careers, our family obligations, holiday planning, party throwing, gift shopping, decorating, and more. Add in caregiving responsibilities, and it’s a perfect storm of stress. If you are taking care of a loved one this year, consider getting some extra help. Respite care is a great and flexible option to help keep you relaxed and healthy through the New Year!
