Home Instead

“It’s really fantastic just to know that the work that I do counts.”

When Maureen joined Home Instead in 2019, advocacy and caregiving became her daily work. She has prevented choking incidents, caught a client mid-fall on a staircase, and sat through long, emotional afternoons with those facing Parkinson’s, dementia, or hospice. Families rely on her when situations feel overwhelming because she brings steadiness, practical skill, and a presence that helps people feel less alone.

To our incredible caregivers: you spend every day caring for others, so this month, we’re making sure someone takes care of you. 💙

April is Stress Awareness Month, and let’s be honest—your back, neck, and shoulders have been carrying way more than their fair share. Between the lifting, driving, paperwork, comforting, and nonstop giving, you deserve more than just a “thank you”… you deserve a massage.

Join us at the office on Monday, April 13 from 12:00–4:00 PM for a complimentary massage with Angelica, L.M.T.

✨ First 14 caregivers to sign up by Friday, April 10 will reserve a spot
✨ Because even superheroes need a tune-up
✨ And because “I’m fine” is not a stretching exercise

Angelica has been helping people heal and recharge since 2014 and has worked with everyone from luxury spa clients to emergency responders and FEMA teams. Translation: your stressed-out shoulders are in very capable hands.

Send me your preferred time before the rest of the office remembers they have “a lot of tension too.” 😉

Milagros knows it’s often the smallest things that matter most.

By bringing back familiar routines, like styling her hair or baking cookies, she helps her clients reconnect with who they are. Those moments bring back confidence, joy, and something to look forward to.

Today we celebrated two bittersweet moments with our amazing Lead Care Pro, Luna — her birthday and her last day with us before she begins a new chapter in another state. 🎉❤️

Luna, thank you for the care, dedication, kindness, and heart you brought to our team every single day. You have touched so many lives and made such a lasting impact that words can hardly express.

While we are so excited for everything ahead of you, saying goodbye is not easy. You will be deeply missed, but we know you are going to do incredible things wherever life takes you.

Wishing you endless happiness, success, and all the best on this new journey. Happy Birthday, Luna — and thank you for everything. 💐✨

Talking to your loved one about aging and care needs can be one of the hardest—and most important—conversations you’ll have.

Dad has a new girlfriend… now what? 😳

It can feel surprising. Maybe even a little uncomfortable. But growing older doesn’t mean growing out of the need for companionship and love.

In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn talks with April Ibarra about what it looks like to respect independence and why these conversations work best when we come to the table as a partner, not a parent.

Women are often behind the scenes, doing it all—caregiving, household chores, career, and everything in between.

Nearly two-thirds of caregivers are women (61%), carrying a disproportionate share of emotional and physical labor (AARP). The hard work of caregiving should be more visible and a shared responsibility—not something that often falls on women.

Beyond International Women’s Day, let’s recognize the invisible load so many women carry and work toward a future where care is more balanced. And to every caregiver—make space for the rest, joy, and support you deserve.💚
