Help us celebrate our Rookie of the Month, Englibert, from Maine. ❤️

We’re excited to recognize Englibert, who joined Right at Home in late August and has quickly become one of our most requested male caregivers!

From day one, his dedication, professionalism, and genuine compassion have stood out to both his clients and our team. His commitment and positive attitude make a lasting impact on everyone he supports.

Let’s talk about a topic we often overlook: loneliness as a health risk.

Studies show that chronic isolation can be as harmful as smoking 15 ci******es a day — yet meaningful connection can help prevent many of these risks.

At Right at Home Greater Portland, we view connection as medicine. Our caregivers provide companionship that nurtures emotional well-being and restores a sense of belonging. 💙

Pam, a compassionate caregiver from Right at Home Twin Cities and South Suburbs, has been supporting Marion for over two years. During that time, she has made over 258 visits without ever being late or missing a single one! That kind of consistency and care doesn’t go unnoticed. In fact, Marion was so moved by Pam’s dedication that she had a custom award created to honor her remarkable reliability.

Pam now visits Marion three times a week for what they call “spa days,” bringing not just assistance, but joy, comfort, and companionship. Though Pam is known for her quiet, efficient approach to caregiving, she’s also a fierce advocate for her clients and always puts their needs first, going above and beyond in ways that speak volumes.

It is so easy to celebrate Pam’s excellence and the special bond she’s built with Marion. Her commitment is a beautiful example of improving the quality of life for those we serve, one meaningful visit at a time. 💙

Please join us in celebrating Zadeline, our Care Team Member of the Month from Malden. 🥳

Zadeline stepped into our client Philomena's world four years ago, transforming her days with warmth and care. With every visit, she brought laughter and joy, becoming more than just an aide; she was family.

When Philomena's 100th birthday approached, Zadeline knew it had to be special. She orchestrated a surprise party, inviting neighbors, friends, and fellow aides, filling the room with love.

As Philomena entered, her eyes sparkled with delight. Laughter echoed and stories flowed, each moment a testament to their bond.

In celebrating a century of life, Zadeline showed that true kindness knows no bounds. ❤️ Thank you, Zadeline, for all that you do--your kindness and dedication are truly inspiring!

Every October, we see pink ribbons, walks, and fundraisers, but behind the pink are stories of courage, resilience, and care that don’t always make the headlines.

For many older adults, breast cancer awareness means:
💗 Navigating new diagnoses later in life
💗 Supporting friends or family through treatment
💗 Reflecting on their own health journeys and screenings

And for family caregivers, it often means being the steady hand: driving to appointments, offering comfort, and managing the day-to-day moments that truly matter.

At Right at Home Greater Portland, we recognize the quiet strength it takes to face these challenges. Whether it’s providing in-home support after surgery, helping maintain routines during treatment, or simply being there to listen, we stand with every family behind the pink. (207) 707-6011

October is National Physical Therapy Month — and a perfect time to celebrate movement, recovery, and independence! 💪

Physical therapy isn’t just about bouncing back after an injury, it’s about staying strong, steady, and confident through every season of aging.

For many seniors, regular PT sessions mean:
🏃‍♀️ Fewer falls and greater balance
🦵 Improved mobility and flexibility
🧠 Sharper mental health through movement
💙 And most importantly, the freedom to keep doing what they love

At Right at Home Greater Portland, we often work hand-in-hand with physical therapists to keep care plans consistent and effective. From helping with exercises to providing encouragement between sessions, our caregivers make sure progress continues long after therapy appointments end. We understand the right support turns “recovery” into rediscovery. 💙
