Tough Talk Tuesday 👉🏻

Is it just forgetfulness—or something more?

🗓️ Confusion about time or place
💬 Trouble following conversations
🧩 Difficulty with familiar tasks
🔍 Misplacing items and trouble retracing steps

Right at Home is honored to highlight Jasper, a care professional from Right at Home Overland Park, Kansas, for the compassion and thoughtfulness she brings to her work every day. When Jasper learned that her client Linda would be spending her 56th wedding anniversary without her late husband, she found a beautiful way to honor their love. Knowing that Linda still greets and speaks to her husband each day, Jasper drew a portrait of him so Linda could feel his presence more closely. She also brought her flowers, not from herself, but as a loving gesture "from her husband," just as he would have done.

Jasper’s actions reflect the heart of our mission to improve the quality of life for those we serve. She reminded us that caregiving is not just about meeting physical needs, but about recognizing the emotional depth of each person’s story. We are grateful to Jasper for her empathy, creativity, and the meaningful connection she has built with Linda.

Bathing should feel relaxing—not risky. Here are two easy upgrades you can make in a senior's home that prioritize their safety:

1️⃣ Nonslip shower mat – Reduces fall risk by adding grip where it matters most.

2️⃣ Handheld showerhead – Gives more control and flexibility, making bathing easier and more dignified for seniors and caregivers alike.

💙 At Right at Home Serving Milwaukee South, we support families with personalized in-home care, including help with bathing and hygiene routines that promote comfort, confidence, and safety.

Many people think only seniors need to have a power of attorney (POA) for health care or for finances. The truth is, they're important for adults of any age. Life is unpredictable, and having a POA will ensure that your wishes are honored even when you cannot express them yourself.

Outdoor spaces hold decades of memories for older adults, from backyard barbecues to quiet garden mornings. Instead of asking them to let go of these cherished places due to safety concerns, let’s ask: How can we help them continue to enjoy the spaces they love, safely and confidently?

Barby Keel, a 90-year-old Englishwoman, has spent over five decades rescuing animals from abuse and abandonment, saving more than 10,000 lives through her sanctuary in Sussex, UK. Her journey began in the 1970s with a single dog and gradually expanded to a 12-acre haven housing over 600 animals, including cats, pigs, horses, and chickens. Despite her age and having battled cancer three times, Keel remains deeply committed to her mission, working daily with the help of volunteers and refusing to retire. Her unwavering dedication even led her to end a relationship when asked to choose between her partner and her animals—she chose the animals without hesitation.

No two days are the same, but every day is full of heart. A day in the life of a caregiver.

Scott, a caregiver with Right At Home South Dakota, has gone above and beyond in supporting his client, Alex. While Scott provides essential daily care like personal support, homemaking, and errands, his role has grown into something truly extraordinary. He is helping Alex train for the 2028 Paralympics in swimming! From day one, Scott embraced Alex’s dream as his own, showing up with encouragement, consistency, and a heart full of purpose.

Scott has become more than a caregiver—he’s a coach, advocate, and friend. He lifts Alex up on hard days, reminds him of his goals, and educates others on how to support Alex’s journey. When asked what’s been most rewarding, Scott shared, “I didn’t know what to expect when I came into Alex’s house and he told me he had a dream to reach the Paralympics. It’s been unbelievable to see someone so driven and confident. Every day, he is committed to living life. He’s been more important to me in my life than I have been to him. My two passions are helping people and sports, and this combines both. Every day doesn’t feel like a job. I’m literally training a guy for the Paralympics!”

Right at Home South Dakota is honored to sponsor Alex’s journey to the 2028 Paralympics. This is what caregiving at its best looks like: purpose-driven, heart-led, and life-changing. 💙
