It's good to know that our friends and partners with Home Care Association of America are doing such great things for our seniors. Keep up the great work!

HCAOA Connecticut members came to the state capitol recently to advocate and show support for the home care industry.

Our Connecticut Chapter co-sponsored Care at Home Day at the Capitol with Connecticut Association for Healthcare at Home March 18 at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

The annual event featured remarks from Chapter leaders and lawmakers, discussion of priority policies and legislation, networking with peers and member meetings with state legislators.

Thanks to all who participated!

This is so important for seniors to know since our home care services in Farmington Hills, Michigan are also tax deductible. Many people in Southeast Michigan do not know this.🧐

There’s a new, temporary tax break for many people ages 65 and older. If that's your age group, you might qualify for a new tax deduction of up to $6,000 per person, depending on your income. This extra deduction, combined with the higher standard deduction for older adults, can significantly reduce or even eliminate the federal income tax you owe on your Social Security benefits, and it’s offered through the 2028 tax year.

For the 2025 tax year, the higher standard deduction amounts for people 65 and older are:

-Married filing jointly (if one or both spouses are 65 or older): $34,700
-Single or married filing separately (65 or older): $17,750
-Head of household (65 or older): $25,625

PSA! According to a recent study*, every year an estimated 37,000 adults over the age of 65 were treated for falls associated with carpets or rugs. A fall can cause serious injuries which are often fatal. To keep your elderly loved ones safe, remove all throw rugs. If the elder will not part with the cherished throw rug, tape down all the edges to decrease the likelihood of the elder catching their toe under the rug. If possible, consider removing carpet as well to allow for more stable footing. Please share this to let others you know help keep our seniors safe.

If you ever feel you need an extra pair of hands and eyes to help keep your loved one(s) safe, please call us for a free consultation at (248) 419-5010, or check us out at https://www.affordablehomecare.org/
