Happy July 4th!

Favorite pastime for many seniors, but not everyone can participate in the celebrations. Here are a few ways to include your loved one in the day's festivities:

🎆 Watch parades and fireworks on TV
🎇 Sing your favorite patriotic songs together
🎆 Play festive games such as themed bingo or trivia
🎇 Host a picnic in their backyard so they can participate when they want.

What's your family's favorite way to celebrate?

Many agencies lack a convenient way for caregivers, seniors, and families to communicate – creating more stress and interfering with care quality.

Technology and healthcare go hand-in-hand. So why does the home care industry (worth over $88 billion in 2021) chronically underutilize digital tools that would avoid problems like communication gaps and simplify the process for everyone?

We're leading the charge for change with our innovative CarePortal – the easy-to-use app that lets you leave updates, post reminders, follow your loved one's care throughout the day, and more: http://ow.ly/HkjC50NBmtn

One of the most frequent questions people ask about home care is, "how much does it cost?" After all, even a ballpark estimate makes it much easier to plan and arrange home care.

The Genworth Cost of Care Survey tool is an incredible resource for seniors and families. Check it out to calculate and compare long-term care costs across other states and counties: http://ow.ly/A2NA50NxlXa

On a plane, we're told to put on our oxygen masks before helping anyone else. After all, when we care for ourselves, we're better positioned to help others. So when it comes to family caregiving, why do so many of us do the opposite?

Self-care comes in many forms. Here are a few practical ideas from the Family Caregiver Alliance:

1.) Listen to your emotions (and what they're telling you about your situation)
2.) Avoid weakening your requests when asking others for help
3.) Learn to tell the difference (and accept) what you can and can't change

How do you care for yourself as a family caregiver?

Imagine this: Your mother, who lives alone, starts showing signs of depression due to loneliness and isolation. So you arrange companionship services for her.

But then, one day, you visit your mother and find her sitting alone on the other side of the room while her caregiver silently scrolls on the phone. Unfortunately, it's not the first time your mom's social and emotional needs were neglected.

Your family deserves better. We’ve created the solution for poor client/caregiver matches. Learn more about it here: http://ow.ly/Hj8X50Nxskp
