Showing care for a senior on Valentine's Day doesn't require grand gestures; often, the most meaningful gifts are time, attention, and a touch of nostalgia.

Here are three simple, heartfelt ways to brighten their day, along with a corresponding image for each:

1. The Power of a Handwritten Note
For many seniors, a physical card or letter holds much more weight than a text or email. It is a tangible reminder that they are loved, which they can display and reread whenever they feel lonely. This can be as simple as sharing a favorite memory or listing things you admire about them.

2. Share a "Tea and Treats" Date
Loneliness is often the hardest part of holidays for seniors. Dedicating an hour to simply sit with them is incredibly valuable. Bring their favorite pastry, a soft homemade treat, and a pot of tea or coffee to share, focusing on your presence and conversation.

3. Ignite Nostalgia through Music or Memory
Valentine's Day can bring up memories of past loves or happy times. Engaging with those memories can be very validating for a senior. You can play their favorite music from the past, ask them open-ended questions about their life, or look through old photo albums together.

Who are you rooting for today?

Football, friends, and fun. At Living Well, we love bringing more game‑day joy right into our clients’ living rooms—whether that means favorite snacks, team colors, or simply sitting together to cheer (or groan) at every big play. Making these familiar traditions possible at home is one more way we help life feel a little more “normal,” connected, and worth celebrating at every age.

Last night, our Living Well team had the joy of joining the senior community at Polly’s Pies in Los Alamitos for a fun-filled bingo night.

We were honored to help sponsor this event and spend meaningful time connecting with local seniors, listening to their stories, and learning more about how we can support their needs—both now and in the future.

We’re grateful for opportunities like this to be present in the community, build relationships, and remind seniors and their families that they don’t have to walk this journey alone.

5 Gentle Signs Your Loved One May Be Struggling Alone at Home

As someone you love grows older, there are tender, quiet signs that can signal living alone may no longer feel safe or sustainable. These changes are more than “just aging”—they are opportunities to wrap your loved one in extra support that protects their safety, dignity, and independence.

You might begin to notice:

- Difficulty moving safely around the home, holding onto furniture or walls, or expressing a growing fear of falling.

- Medications are being missed, doubled, or taken at the wrong time because keeping track has become confusing.

- Skipped meals, weight changes, or a kitchen that shows shopping, cooking, and cleaning up are becoming too much.

- Increasing challenges with personal care—bathing, dressing, or toileting—that leave them feeling vulnerable, frustrated, or embarrassed.

- More time alone, sadness, or pulling away from church, friends, and favorite routines that once brought them joy.

If one or more of these signs sound familiar, you do not have to wait for a fall or hospital stay to act. Reaching out now can help your loved one remain at home with more safety, comfort, and peace of mind—for them and for you.

Today we honor every person battling cancer – and the caregivers who walk with them through each step.

At Living Well Home Care, we recognize that cancer changes more than test results and treatment schedules; it touches every part of daily life, from fatigue and pain to emotions, sleep, and the ability to do the simple things that once felt easy. Our role is to come alongside you with calm, steady support—helping with personal care, meals, transportation to appointments, and gentle companionship on the hardest days, as well as celebrating the better days when a little more strength returns.

We also see the quiet courage of family caregivers who juggle work, home, and constant worry while trying to stay strong for the person they love. Living Well is here to share that load, to listen without judgment, and to create personalized care plans that respect each person’s choices, dignity, and goals.

Whether you are in the middle of treatment, recovering at home, or supporting someone you love through advanced illness, you do not have to walk this road alone. Living Well Home Care is here to help you find safer, more comfortable, and more meaningful moments at home—one day, one step, and one act of care at a time.

02/03/2026

When a loved one is sundowning and asking to “go home,” even while sitting in their own living room, it can be heartbreaking and exhausting. Here are four gentle, practical ways to respond in a way that supports both safety and emotional comfort.

1. Start with reassurance, not correction
Instead of explaining, “You are home,” try to meet the feeling underneath the words. A calm response like, “You’re safe here, and I’m right here with you,” can soothe fear more than facts. Validating their worry (“It sounds like you’re feeling unsettled tonight”) helps them feel heard rather than argued with.

2. Create a calming evening routine
Sundowning often gets worse with fatigue, overstimulation, or hunger. Keep evenings predictable and quiet: dimmer lights, soft music, a light snack, and fewer background noises. A simple routine—same chair, same blanket, same show or activity—can gently signal to the brain that it is time to wind down, not get ready to leave.

3. Redirect with comfort and familiarity
When they say, “I need to go home,” try stepping into their reality instead of confronting it. You might say, “Tell me about your home,” or “Let’s get things ready for tomorrow, then we can rest for a bit.” Offering a familiar object (photo album, favorite sweater, prayer book) or a small task (folding towels, sorting cards) can shift their focus while still honoring the feeling of needing to “do something.”

4. Protect safety while sharing the load
If your loved one is trying to leave the house, gently guide them to safer spaces—walking with them down the hallway, sitting together by a window, or offering a warm drink. Over time, these evenings can wear families down. Bringing in in‑home support can provide another calm, familiar presence at the hardest times of day, so you are not carrying it alone, and your loved one can feel more settled and secure at home.

Finding the right balance between rest and gentle movement is one of the most important parts of living safely with heart failure at home. In a cozy living room, that might look like short, supported walks to the kitchen, simple leg or arm exercises from a favorite chair, and then unhurried time to catch their breath, read, or watch a show without feeling rushed or pushed too hard.

Living Well’s caregivers help follow the care team’s recommendations by pacing activities, watching for changes in breathing or fatigue, and encouraging light movement when it is safe—while also protecting the quiet rest the heart needs to recover. This calm, attentive approach helps reduce the worry about “overdoing it,” supports better symptom control, and allows both seniors and families to feel more confident that each day at home is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Something as simple as working on a puzzle together can become a quiet, meaningful way to reconnect with someone you love. Puzzles invite your loved one to slow down, focus, and gently exercise their brain, while also making space for stories, smiles, and unhurried conversation.

For many families, these small moments—placing one piece at a time, celebrating little victories, sharing a laugh over a tricky section—can feel like a deep breath in the middle of a busy or stressful day. They are reminders that connection does not have to be big or complicated to be real.

If your loved one is living with dementia or other health challenges, a caregiver can help set up simple, success‑oriented activities like puzzles, sorting, or word games that match their abilities and energy level. What’s one activity that helps you feel more connected with your loved one? Share it in the comments—we would love to hear your ideas.

Scammers attempt to get the personal and banking details of anyone they can. Unfortunately, as some age and experience cognitive decline to due dementia, Parkinson's, or other circumstances, they become even more vulnerable to becoming victims of fraud.

Here are some simple tips to prevent yourself or a loved one from being taken advantage of online or on the phone:

1. Use strong passwords
• Create passwords that are at least 12 characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid using names, birthdays, or “12345.”
​
• Use a notebook stored in a safe place or a trusted password manager instead of reusing the same password on multiple accounts.
​
2. Think before you click
• Do not click links or open attachments in emails or texts if you were not expecting them, even if they appear to be from a bank, government, or a friend.
​
• Hang up and call back using a known phone number if a message or call creates urgency (like “act now or your account will be closed”) and asks for personal or financial information.
​
3. Keep devices and accounts updated
• Turn on automatic updates for your computer, phone, and apps so security fixes install without you having to remember.

• Install reputable antivirus/security software and make sure it stays updated; ask a trusted family member or tech helper to set this up if needed.

When a loved one comes home after a heart attack or a new heart failure diagnosis, it is normal to feel nervous about missing something important. One of the simplest, most powerful habits families can build—alongside daily weight checks—is regularly monitoring blood pressure and heart rate.
​
A home blood pressure cuff lets you track numbers at about the same time each day, and again if your loved one feels more tired, dizzy, short of breath, or “just not right.” Writing down the blood pressure, heart rate, and a few words about how they are feeling gives the medical team a clearer picture between visits and can help catch problems earlier, before they turn into an emergency.

Gentle movement makes a big difference.

For those living with Parkinson’s disease, even small amounts of daily exercise and stretching can help ease stiffness, improve balance, and enhance overall well-being. Activities like seated stretches, slow walking, or light resistance work help keep muscles flexible and joints mobile — supporting better coordination and confidence in daily tasks.

Always check with a healthcare provider or physical therapist before starting a new exercise routine. With the right guidance, movement can become a meaningful part of living well with Parkinson’s.
