The Powers and limits of HIPAA

At the doctor or dentist, you have likely signed a HIPAA form “for your protection.” The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act restricts access to personal health information. This includes your medical conditions, test results, payment details, birth date, etc. This HIPAA protection helps ensure your personal information isn’t sold, leaked online, or even stolen.

You might think of shingles as “just a rash.” While that may be true for many younger people, the viral infection can have serious consequences for older adults. And given that the risk of developing shingles increases with age, it’s something you want to help your aging loved one guard against.

If your loved one has essential tremor (ET), you know that they live with ongoing shakiness, likely in the hands or head. Early on, they may spill some coffee or have occasional trouble with their buttons when getting dressed. Changes that are distressing but not life altering. But as everyday tasks become more and more difficult, their quality of life can suffer. Fortunately, you can help them adopt new strategies to maintain their independence. https://legacyhomecareny.com/2025/07/living-with-essential-tremor/

August is Coming to a Close — Let’s Talk Transitions in Care

As summer winds down, many families are preparing for fall routines. 🍂 This is often when care needs shift — loved ones may be coming home from rehab, recovering from surgery, or simply needing more support as schedules change.

At Legacy Home Care, we help families seamlessly transition into the next season of care. Our direct-hire caregivers and private duty nurses provide:

✅ Peace of mind – families choose the caregiver that best fits their loved one’s needs
✅ Flexibility – from hourly help to live-in support
✅ Experience – top caregivers and nurses, carefully screened and vetted
✅ Continuity – long-term matches to reduce turnover and keep your loved one comfortable

💡 Helpful Tip: If you know your loved one may need extra support in the fall, don’t wait until the last minute. Start planning now so you can interview caregivers and find the right fit before schedules tighten.
