It’s Nurses Appreciation Week!
We couldn’t let it pass without celebrating our RN, Tammie Hamlin.

If you’ve been around the office, you’ve probably caught a glimpse of her—Tammie has been at the heart of Lake Country since 2020. For her, this work isn’t just a job; it’s a passion. As she puts it, “Making someone’s day better makes for a good day.”

The clients she supports and the staff she works alongside are what keep her coming back each day. Nursing runs in her family, and she knew early on that this was the path meant for her.

When she’s not in the office or visiting clients in their homes, you’ll likely find her reading, spending time with her kids and grandkids, or tending to her flowerbeds—usually with a Diet Coke nearby.

Her advice for future caregivers?
Don’t get hung up on the letters after your name or anyone else’s. Teamwork and client focus matter most; credentials are just a bonus. She says it’s something her parents always reminded her of growing up: focus on the person in front of you, not the title behind you.
And don’t be afraid to take chances on new opportunities until you find the right fit. Every job prepares you for whatever comes next.

We are so lucky to have her on our team and hope she continues to be our MVP!
Thank you, Tammie!

Thank you!

What is IHS (without training)—and who is it for?

At Lake Country we offer Individualized Home Supports (IHS) without training. These services help people with disabilities live more independently at home and in the community. IHS focuses on practical support—things like personal care, homemaking, and social engagement—without the formal teaching component.

Who qualifies? Minnesotans of all ages enrolled in waiver programs such as CADI (Community Access for Disability Inclusion), DD (Developmental Disabilities), or BI (Brain Injury). If you qualify for one of these waivers, IHS may be covered.

Where does it happen? In your home and community—where daily life happens. IHS services are flexible and are scheduled around your needs.

When is it time to consider IHS? If you or a loved one needs help with:

-Cognitive support
-Adaptive skills
-Household management
-Health, safety, & wellness
-Community engagement

Why choose IHS? Because independence looks different for everyone. IHS helps people stay safe, supported, and connected while living at home—without moving to a facility.

Who can be your IHS worker? An IHS worker can be a trusted family member, friend, or community member who completes the state’s training and background check. Don't have anyone in mind? No worries, we have a dedicated team member who would be happy to help!

*Important note: We only provide IHS without training. If you see references to “IHS with training,” that is a separate service not offered by Lake Country Home Care.

Not sure where to start? Lake Country Home Care is here to help you understand your options, direct you to the MnCHOICES assessment, and make sure you get the care you deserve.

Reach out by phone, message, email, or carrier pigeon (we'll watch for them, good thing our new office space has more windows!)

Meet Lori!
For nearly 17 years, Lori has been part of Lake Country Home Care — helping people stay in their homes longer and brightening their days in every way she can. Caring and ambitious by nature, she believes great caregivers truly want to help and aren’t afraid to jump in and get things done.

When she’s not supporting clients, you’ll find her with her feet up and a good show on, or out at the hunting cabin soaking in the quiet of nature. Her comfort favorites include the holy grail of Minnesotan cuisine— tater tot hotdish— and anything chocolate.

A mom of three and proud grandma of seven, Lori says this work keeps her busy and lets her do what she's always loved—helping others.

Her advice to future caregivers:
“Make sure it’s something you’re truly passionate about — you need to enjoy helping people.”

Thank you for everything you've done for the clients here at LCHC! We are so grateful for you!

What is ICLS—and who is it for?

Individual Community Living Supports (ICLS) help older adults stay independent at home by offering guidance with daily routines, health, and community life. ICLS is a bundled service that includes six components, tailored to each person’s needs.

Who qualifies? Minnesotans age 65+ enrolled in the Elderly Waiver or Alternative Care program who need reminders, cues, or moderate assistance to remain safely at home.

Where does it happen? In your home and community—where daily life happens. ICLS services are flexible and scheduled around your needs.

When is it time to consider ICLS? If you or a loved one needs help with:
-Cognitive support (memory, problem‑solving, reassurance)
-Adaptive support (cues, tools, strategies for independence)
-Daily living tasks (bathing, dressing, eating, mobility)
-Household management (cleaning, meal prep, shopping, budgeting)
-Health & wellness (medication reminders, exercise, monitoring changes)
-Community engagement (social activities, transportation, building connections)

Why choose ICLS? Because independence looks different for everyone. ICLS helps people strengthen skills, stay safe, and remain engaged in their community while living at home.

Who can be your ICLS worker? An ICLS worker can be a trusted family member, friend, or community member who completes the state’s training and background check. Don't have anybody in mind? Don't worry! Lake Country Home Care has a caregiver for you!

Important note: ICLS is not designed for constant supervision or full physical assistance. For that level of care, Personal Care Assistance (PCA) is the appropriate service.

Not sure where to start? We are here to help you understand your options, direct you toward the MnCHOICES assessment, and make sure you get the care you deserve.

Give us a call or send a message our way—we’d love to chat and answer any questions!

Does this sound like something you would find joy in providing for someone? We are always looking for caring people to join our team—apply today!
