🧠 Dementia vs. Alzheimer’s: What’s the Difference?

Many people use the terms interchangeably, but they’re not the same:

Dementia is an umbrella term for symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and daily life. It can have many causes (Alzheimer’s, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, etc.).

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60–80% of cases. It’s a progressive brain disease that specifically damages memory and thinking skills over time.

💜 At Home Instead, we understand both the challenges and the unique needs that come with dementia and Alzheimer’s. Our caregivers are trained to provide compassionate, personalized support so seniors can live safely and comfortably at home.

👉 If your family has questions about memory care, we’re here to help.

SHOUTOUT 🎖️

Today, one of our sweet clients had to make an unexpected trip to the hospital. Without hesitation, our Caregiver Administrative Assistant, Secret, jumped in to help. She not only took him there, but stayed by his side - keeping him company and showing the compassion that makes such a difference.

“There’s no do-overs in grief, and so there’s a ton of second guessing in grief.” — Lisa Pahl

It’s never easy to talk about death. But avoiding it? That can leave our loved ones with conflict, confusion, and a heavy burden of “what ifs.”

In this episode of , Dr. Lakelyn sits down with hospice social worker and co-creator of The Death Deck, Lisa Pahl to explore the real consequences of not planning ahead.

Starting the conversation now won’t take away the pain of loss, but it can offer clarity, connection, and peace when it matters most.

“Families often wait too long to access hospice care. The truth? Hospice can provide months of support—not just days.”

In this clip from our conversation with Lisa Pahl, hospice social worker and co-creator of The Death Deck, we explore the compassionate side of end-of-life care—supporting caregivers, guiding through symptoms, and holding space in life’s most tender moments.

Another throwback to the one and only Mary Maxwell at our 2009 Convention. With her signature humor, she reminded us what it means to age with dignity—and to laugh along the way (especially when you can’t find your car). 😅💚

It’s hotter than a pepper sprout out there! 🥵

And while we’re all reaching for iced drinks and fans, older adults need a little extra care to stay safe in the summer heat.

Here’s your caregiver-approved summer safety toolkit for aging loved ones:

💧 Hydrate with variety – Water is essential, but try chilled fruit, herbal iced tea, smoothies, or even popsicles to keep it fun and refreshing.

👒 Dress smart – Light, breathable clothing and wide-brimmed hats help regulate temperature and protect sensitive skin.

🌬️ Cool it down – If there’s no AC, use fans, cold washcloths, or even a bowl of cool water for hands and wrists to provide quick relief.

🌿 Time outdoor activities wisely – Early mornings or evenings are safest. A short stroll, porch chat, or birdwatching can bring joy without overheating.

👂 Connect with care – Sometimes, just being present — listening, sharing a memory, or sitting together — is the best form of comfort.

Let’s keep our older adults safe, seen, and supported this summer.

“As a caregiver, you're always juggling three things: independence, safety, and the third we could describe as like joy or comfort.” — Adria Thompson

When you're making decisions on behalf of someone else, the stakes feel higher, and the guilt runs deeper. In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn and Adria unpack the emotional complexity of caregiving and introduce the idea of choosing a priority in the moment.
Whether your loved one is in the early or late stages of dementia, knowing whether to lead with independence, safety, or joy can guide your choices—and ease some of the pressure. 💚 Tune in wherever you get your podcasts. 🎧 https://apple.co/3RuALpz

Ever ask someone with dementia what they think?

“Do you like this shirt?” “Should I shave my goatee?”

David Troxel does, and here’s why: when you ask for someone’s opinion, it shows you value them. And for those living with dementia, feeling valued goes a long way.

In this moment, David Troxel shares simple ways to connect through kindness, humor, and everyday activities. Because with dementia care, even 30 seconds of connection can brighten their lives. 🧠💚

“No one can do it 24/7."

Even the most devoted caregivers need time to recharge. Respite care isn't just a luxury, it’s a necessity for your well-being and your loved one’s continued care at home. Whether it's for a coffee break, a workout, or simply a moment of quiet, taking time for yourself helps you show up stronger.

💬 How do you make time for yourself as a caregiver?
