🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We are incredibly grateful for the heartfelt review we received from a former caregiver! Here's what they had to say:

"As a former caregiver I researched extensively for a solution to my leaving the person I had taken care of. I wanted the best care possible and that is what I got with Home Instead and their wonderful staff of caregivers. Christina has been a real lifesaver and goes above and beyond expectations. There have been, and still are others who are involved in caring for someone who is legally blind and very hard of hearing. This is a challenge but everyone has been very patient and willing to provide the necessary care. Thank you all who provide this kind and wonderful care."

Thank you for your kind words and for being part of our journey. Your dedication and empathy have left a lasting impact on everyone here. šŸ’™

This is why we walk. šŸ’œ

When Michelle’s dad, Don, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at age 69, her family’s world changed forever. Over 10 years, she watched him go from living at home with caregivers to assisted living, and eventually to an Alzheimer’s unit before he passed away at age 79.

Earlier this year, dementia touched her family again when Michelle’s mom, Sandy, had a stroke and heart attack that rapidly advanced her dementia. Now in memory care, Michelle visits Sandy every evening. Despite these challenges, she finds gratitude: ā€œEven though my mom has changed, I’m still creating memories with her.ā€

For Michelle, Walk to End Alzheimer’s is about honoring her parents and connecting with others. Each year, she joins her Home Instead team and others in the senior care community to walk not in sadness, but in hope for a cure.

It’s because of passionate people like Michelle that Home Instead, a Walk to End Alzheimer’s Gold National Team, has raised nearly $5.5 million over the past 17 years — including $280,000 just last year — to advance critical Alzheimer’s care, support, and research.

Together with the , we’re fighting for a future without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Let’s make 2025 our most impactful year yet. šŸ’Ŗ

We walk for our clients. We walk for our families.šŸ’œ
And this year, we walk with one goal: to help end Alzheimer’s.

At Home Instead, we’ve seen the impact of Alzheimer’s and other dementias firsthand in the homes we visit, in the people we love, and in the lives of those we serve every day. That’s why we’re proud to be a National Team in the 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

Together, our network has raised nearly $5.5 million over the past 17 years—and more than $280,000 just last year. šŸŽ‰ Let’s make 2025 our biggest impact yet.

ā€œThere’s no do-overs in grief, and so there’s a ton of second guessing in grief.ā€ — 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 ā€œwhat ifs.ā€

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

And while we all might be cranking up the AC, older adults need a little extra care to stay safe and comfortable this season.

Here’s a few summer tips for older loved ones:

šŸ’§ Keep drinks flowing — Hydration is key. Try lemon water, herbal iced tea, or fruit-infused water for a refreshing twist.

🌿 Stick to shade — Morning and evening are best for fresh air. Think porch chats, garden strolls, or birdwatching under a tree.

šŸ“ Eat the rainbow — Seasonal foods like berries, melons, cucumbers, and tomatoes are easy, colorful, and packed with nutrients.

šŸŽ¶ Play their favorite music — It can lift spirits, stir memories, and create connection in an instant.

šŸ‘‚ Be present — Whether it’s a phone call, a visit, or simply sitting nearby, your time means more than you know.

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:

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

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

šŸŒ¬ļø 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.

šŸ‘‚ 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.

ā€œAs a caregiver, you're always juggling three things: independence, safety, and the third we could describe as like joy or comfort.ā€ — 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. šŸ’š Tune in wherever you get your podcasts. šŸŽ§ https://apple.co/3RuALpz

Ever ask someone with dementia what they think?

ā€œDo you like this shirt?ā€ ā€œShould I shave my goatee?ā€

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. šŸ§ šŸ’š

Our Story

Our families live and work in Mountain Home, Harrison, and throughout north central Arkansas, so we’re invested in our communities on a very personal level. We believe every family in the area deserves highly personalized, compassionate, and reliable in-home care. We are locally-owned and dedicated to making our communities better places to live for seniors and their families. We are proud to make a positive impact from Mountain Home to Batesville, from Ash Flat to Harrison, and all communities in between.

We also have invaluable resources of the world’s leader in senior care services. Paul and Lori Hogan founded Home Instead, Inc. in 1994 in Omaha, Nebraska. Paul’s own family experience caring for his grandmother led him to realize many families could use the help of an in-home caregiver. He and Lori set about creating a company to help seniors live independently at home. That mission still drives the company and its franchise network today. Today, the Home Instead network has grown to include more than 1,000 franchises around the world, including the offices in Mountain Home and Harrison. While the franchise network is international, our offices are local. And to us, senior home care is personal.
