It’s Fabulous Friday and what a great way to end the week sharing our Thursday evening event with you all!

We had a full evening of excitement and fellowship for a great cause with so many others who support Junior Achievement. It was a full house.

Fun fact: JA is one of the largest nonprofit organizations dedicated to preparing young people for economic success through programs such as financial literacy work readiness, and entrepreneurship. 

FirstCare Home Care partnered with Oak Grove Christian Retirement Village to sponsor a purse for the bingo event.

A big shout out to our personal chef, Dan who prepared a meal for our wonderful table family, and to Miss Julie for the delicious home made Bundt cake.

FirstCare Home Care is proud to support the communities we work and live in. Well done, Newton County.

Today is a day I want to share something I feel is important and valuable to all of us, in my opinion.

Hi, I am Kristi Director of FirstCare Home Care, and I want to share my heart on a story that has been making headlines.

The news of a missing senior citizen is deeply concerning and heartbreaking. Every single person-child, adult, or senior matters. Each case represents a life, a family, and a community holding their breath and hoping for answers.

When a senior goes missing, it also shines a light on something we don't talk about enough: How vulnerable many older adults are, especially those who live alone, who experience cognitive decline or changes, or lack regular visits or check ins from family/friends.

This is not about minimizing the tragedy of anyone who goes missing, it's about driving more awareness and prevention. Seniors deserve the same level of vigilance, connection, patience, and protection as everyone else.

I would like to share some simple tips that can make a big difference:
* Regular check ins
* Knowing routines and changes (physically and mentally)
* Recognizing the need to be pro-active about support needs when memory, mobility, or health begins to decline.

Our mission has always been to help our "seasoned citizens" stay safe, supported, and connected right where they want to be -in the comfort of home. We work alongside families to provide care, oversight, and peace of mind so no one feels alone or overlooked.

If you have an aging parent, neighbor, loved one, friend or anyone you know please take a moment to check in. A phone call, a visit, or a plan for added support could truly make a difference.

If you need help, guidance, or support on how to start that conversation or to assist with the right amount of care needs to ensure we are being pro-active instead of re-active please reach out to me, I am happy to help.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the families waiting for answers and closure on a challenging time in life.

Please feel free to share this post, education and awareness are key. Stay safe and aware.

Many people ask me “What do you do”?

The truth is most families don’t call me when things are calm — they call me when Mom falls, Dad’s memory is slipping, and everyone’s arguing about what to do next.

I help families figure out what the right plan is before they spend alot of money on the wrong help.

Sometimes that means in-home care, sometimes it means a smarter system, and sometimes it means helping adult kids stop feeling guilty and overwhelmed.

My goal is simple: help the senior, help the family, and make sure the money they spend makes sense.

Staying home and Aging Well…..it takes a villiage. Call me let’s talk.

We have a verifiable history of bringing value, trust, peace, and clarity to each home we enter.

I hope everyone’s New Year is off to a fantastic start! As we enter into the weekend I’d like to share some common feedback I often hear as families contact me for next steps on support for a loved one.

“I just don’t know if we can justify the cost…”

So let me say this gently:

You’re already paying — just not in dollars yet.

You’re paying in:
• stress
• missed work
• sleepless nights
• constant worry
• family tension
• burnout

Our in-home care + consulting support helps families create stability, safety, and peace of mind — before it becomes an emergency.

If you’re unsure what kind of support you even need, start with a consult. We’ll guide you.

📩 Message us and let’s talk.

💛 In-Home Support Doesn’t Take Independence Away… It Protects It 💛

Many families worry that bringing help into the home means “giving up.” The truth is, compassionate support from FirstCare Homecare can actually enhance a senior’s life — helping them stay safe, confident, and living where they feel most comfortable… at home.

With the right support, seniors experience:
✨ Less loneliness, more meaningful connection
✨ Help with daily tasks while maintaining dignity
✨ Improved safety and reduced risk of falls or hospital visits
✨ Peace of mind for families who love them

In-home support doesn’t replace family… it supports families. It allows sons and daughters to go back to being family again — not full-time caregivers.

If someone you love is beginning to struggle at home, you don’t have to face it alone. FirstCare Homecare would be honored to walk this journey with you.

📞 Reach out today for a compassionate, no-pressure conversation.
❤️ Because home is where life still happens — and with FirstCare Homecare, no one has to do it alone.
