Pam, a compassionate caregiver from Right at Home Twin Cities and South Suburbs, has been supporting Marion for over two years. During that time, she has made over 258 visits without ever being late or missing a single one! That kind of consistency and care doesn’t go unnoticed. In fact, Marion was so moved by Pam’s dedication that she had a custom award created to honor her remarkable reliability.

Pam now visits Marion three times a week for what they call “spa days,” bringing not just assistance, but joy, comfort, and companionship. Though Pam is known for her quiet, efficient approach to caregiving, she’s also a fierce advocate for her clients and always puts their needs first, going above and beyond in ways that speak volumes.

We’re proud to celebrate Pam’s excellence and the special bond she’s built with Marion. Her commitment is a beautiful example of improving the quality of life for those we serve, one meaningful visit at a time.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Bo Hodges from Right at Home Austin West, who has been named the 2025 Caregiver of the Year by the Home Care Association of America!

Bo Hodges began his caregiving journey after surviving a life-changing motorcycle accident. Inspired by the woman who saved his life and later passed away from cancer, Bo committed himself to helping others. Since joining Right at Home Austin West, he’s become a trusted and compassionate presence—braving storms, handling emergencies, and offering unwavering support. Clients call him a lifeline, and colleagues admire his reliability, communication, and heartfelt dedication.

Joining Bo in this honor is Deb Whalen from Right at Home of Southern Arizona, recognized as a national finalist. Out of over 500 nominations, these two Right at Home caregivers stood out for their compassion, dedication, and life-changing care. Their recognition inspires us all to continue making a difference every day. Congratulations! 🎉

October is National Physical Therapy Month — and a perfect time to celebrate movement, recovery, and independence! 💪

Physical therapy isn’t just about bouncing back after an injury, it’s about staying strong, steady, and confident through every season of aging.

For many seniors, regular PT sessions mean:
🏃‍♀️ Fewer falls and greater balance
🦵 Improved mobility and flexibility
🧠 Sharper mental health through movement
💙 And most importantly, the freedom to keep doing what they love

At Right at Home Malden, we often work hand-in-hand with physical therapists to keep care plans consistent and effective. From helping with exercises to providing encouragement between sessions, our caregivers make sure progress continues long after therapy appointments end. We understand the right support turns “recovery” into rediscovery. 💙

When to Bring in Extra Help — Knowing It’s Time for Professional Care

One of the hardest parts of caregiving is realizing when it’s time to ask for help. It can feel like you’re giving up, but in reality, you’re making room for better care and more peace of mind. 💙

Here are a few signs that extra support could make a difference:
🕰️ Daily tasks feel overwhelming – when bathing, dressing, or meal prep become stressful or unsafe.
💊 Missed medications – or confusion around what to take and when.
🏡 Changes in home safety – like more frequent falls or difficulty navigating the home.
💭 Memory or mood changes – such as withdrawal, confusion, or irritability.
💬 Caregiver fatigue – when exhaustion or stress starts to take over.

Recognizing these signs early allows families to put a plan in place before a crisis happens.

At Right at Home Malden, our care team helps bridge that gap—providing compassionate, professional support so families can focus on what truly matters: being family again. (617) 623-9300
