🌷💖 Happy Parent Appreciation Day 🌷💖

While the official Parent Appreciation Day is June 27, 2025, we at Abode Home Care believe our parents deserve more than just one day of recognition—so we’re starting the celebration early!

At Abode Home Care, this day holds a special place in our hearts—because behind every caregiver, every nurse, and every service we provide, there’s a story of someone who helped shape us.

On this special day, I’m honored to share a photo of me with my mother—a woman whose strength, kindness, and guidance have shaped the person I am today. I am who I am because of her. Her love laid the foundation for the compassionate care we provide through Abode Home Care every single day.

To all the amazing parents we serve…
To the caregivers who are parents themselves…
And to every family who trusts Abode Home Care with your loved ones—
We appreciate you deeply, today and every day.

🏡💙 Caring for a Loved One at Home? Get Paid for It with Structured Family Caregiving! 💙🏡
At Abode Home Care, we believe family caregivers deserve support—and Structured Family Caregiving (SFC) does just that.

SFC is a Medicaid-supported program in Indiana that allows family members who care for a loved one at home to receive financial compensation and ongoing support.

Here’s how it works:

✔️ You live with and care for a loved one who needs help with daily tasks like bathing, meals, or medication reminders.
✔️ You can be a family member (not a spouse) providing care in the same home.
✔️ We provide professional support, training, and oversight to ensure your loved one is safe and well cared for.
✔️ You get paid for the care you’re already providing!

Structured Family Caregiving offers peace of mind, financial relief, and professional guidance—all while keeping your loved one at home, surrounded by family.

🏠🧠 How to Dementia-Proof Your Home for Safety and Comfort 🧠🏠
Caring for a loved one with dementia means creating an environment that supports their safety, independence, and well-being. At Abode Home Care, we help families make their homes safer and more dementia-friendly every day.

Here are some simple ways to dementia-proof your home:

✔️ Lock Away Hazardous Items – Secure medications, cleaning products, and sharp tools.
✔️ Use Childproof Latches – For cabinets and drawers with dangerous or fragile items.
✔️ Install Grab Bars and Non-Slip Mats – Especially in bathrooms and near stairs.
✔️ Label Rooms and Doors Clearly – Visual cues help reduce confusion.
✔️ Remove Tripping Hazards – Loose rugs, clutter, and cords can lead to falls.
✔️ Use Nightlights – Hallways and bathrooms should be well-lit at night.
✔️ Create Calm Spaces – Avoid loud noises, overly busy patterns, and confusing layouts.

💛 Small changes can make a big difference. Your loved one deserves to feel safe and supported in the place they call home.
