We are all aging. At some point, everyone will experience changes that impact how we move, care for ourselves, or support others. Having the right knowledge and tools can make that journey easier.
In this episode of , occupational therapist Lindsay DeLong shares practical ways to navigate those moments with confidence.

That's right. 😉 Dating is not just for the younger generation.
In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn talks with April Ibarra about what happens when an aging parent starts dating again.
From senior dating apps to online safety and family emotions, this conversation explores how to support connection while respecting independence.
It can feel surprising. Maybe even a little uncomfortable. But growing older doesn’t mean growing out of the need for companionship and love.
In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn talks with April Ibarra about what it looks like to respect independence and why these conversations work best when we come to the table as a partner, not a parent.
Women are often behind the scenes, doing it all—caregiving, household chores, career, and everything in between.
Nearly two-thirds of caregivers are women (61%), carrying a disproportionate share of emotional and physical labor (AARP). The hard work of caregiving should be more visible and a shared responsibility—not something that often falls on women.
Beyond International Women’s Day, let’s recognize the invisible load so many women carry and work toward a future where care is more balanced. And to every caregiver—make space for the rest, joy, and support you deserve.💚

“It’s really fantastic just to know that the work that I do counts.”
When Maureen joined Home Instead in 2019, advocacy and caregiving became her daily work. She has prevented choking incidents, caught a client mid-fall on a staircase, and sat through long, emotional afternoons with those facing Parkinson’s, dementia, or hospice. Families rely on her when situations feel overwhelming because she brings steadiness, practical skill, and a presence that helps people feel less alone.

Home Instead Senior Care's mission of caring for older adults extends not only to seniors and their families, but to the company's CAREGivers as well. "We like to talk about a holistic approach—caring for our CAREGivers' minds, bodies and spirits," says Owner Lan Berry. "When you care for the CAREGivers, they in turn are better equipped to create meaningful relationships with their clients."
"We refer to that as the 'CAREGiver Experience.' That means valuing CAREGivers and addressing their needs to allow them to do what they do best-help seniors remain independent for as long as possible."
Much of that mission is accomplished through training and support, Berry explained. "Home Instead CAREGivers complete a multi-phased safety and caregiving education program that features case studies, senior illness information, stimulating activities, nutritional recipes, and tips for coping with stress. This is the cornerstone of our training program," he said. The CAREGiver Experience is what makes caregiving more than "just a job" for our CAREGivers.
