"Social engagement is a key part of staying healthy while aging, and our caregivers can help your loved one get there, just like they did for this client:

“Getting with Home Care Assistance has been a tremendous boon for mom. While she had healthcare aides in her assisted living facility, she had no one to advocate for her; it took the one-on-one time of Home Care Assistance staff getting to know her and really looking out for her well-being that made the difference.

Since we started with them, mom gets out more—to get her hair done, to get to church, for picnic lunches in the park. She's far more engaged socially and mentally. I can't say enough good things about this company!”

Help your loved one stay active, engaged, and thriving! 💙 Our caregivers provide the personalized support and companionship that make all the difference. https://homecareassistancerichmond.com/

We would like to take a moment to recognize Heide Jones!!! She has won Home Care Assistance North America Caregiver of the year! Here’s what our clients have to say about Heide:
Heide truly is a special person and most deserving of employee of the year. Heide Jones provided 4 years of live-in care for my mother who suffered from a progressive, debilitating condition which left her completely immobile and with very limited speech. Yet Heide connected with my mom in such a way that they communicated beautifully. And Heide was undaunted by her condition – never hesitating to get her outside for fresh air or take her for a drive to get ice cream. Heide was truly a gift from God who went above and beyond every day to give my mother the utmost care with total compassion. Everything she did – whether cooking, feeding, bathing or playing cards with my mother – was done with pure love. Simply put, she brought joy into mother’s final years. For me and my family, Heidi provided an enveloping sense of comfort and confidence. This was priceless to me as the one responsible for the care of my mother. Heide quickly became a part of our family, sharing birthdays and holidays and enjoying time together. Heide was consistent, reliable and flexible, and is the most caring and selfless person I’ve ever met. She exudes a passion for her work and does everything with beauty and exuberance. My mother and I, and those who loved my mother, were all so fortunate to have her in our lives. I will always be indebted to Heide for giving every ounce of herself in the care of my mother. – Trace
Another client says:
For seven years, my mother has received Home Health care and support for her dementia. In the past, my mother has had many caregivers along the way; however, none have been as skilled, patient and caring as Ms. Heide. Ms. Heide continuously responds to my mother in a kind, respectful and jovial tone at all times. My mother maintains difficulty in sequencing her physical movements (e.g. getting up or down from a chair); it is common place for Ms. Heide to talk to my mother through using straightforward and focused language, often repeating directions and never losing patience. Ms. Heide will frequently talk to my mother and crack jokes throughout the day. She knows my mom's favorite things and will monitor and let me know when my mom needs a favorite item or a piece of clothing. However, it is the extra things that Ms. Heide just naturally does that makes her the fabulous caretaker that she is! For example, Ms. Heide knows how important my mom's hair and nails are to her. She regularly takes Mom for manicures at her favorite shop. Ms. Heide begins each day supervising my mom's shower and curling and styling my mom's hair for the day ahead. She always ensures appropriate dress and will regularly bake my mom's favorite meals. Heide will pick up around the house and organize closets and drawers if she notices them becoming messy. My mother has never had a fall in Ms. Heide's care even though she is prone to doing so. In addition, my mom's health has been well maintained with Ms. Heide's support in ensuring that her medications are distributed with 100% accuracy and timeliness! With Ms. Heide, I have never had to worry or second guess the care that my mom is provided.
In short, Ms. Heide is just naturally a phenomenal woman who demonstrates well above average caretaking skills. Ms. Heide cares for her clients like she would for her own family and makes my mom's days (even the most difficult of them) as happy and productive as possible. For that, our family is truly grateful for Ms. Heide and celebratory of her potential recognition and well-deserved honor as Home Assistance Care Giver of the Year with your agency! -Sherry

Thank you for all that you do Heide!

If your loved one with dementia is struggling with sleep, they're not alone. As we age, sleep patterns and quality often shift, but dementia can also cause:

● Insomnia
● Hypersomnia
● Sleep Apnea
● REM Sleep Behavior Disorder
● Circadian rhythm disruptions

This can affect their health, and also make it difficult for their caregivers to get enough sleep. In-home dementia care can be a game-changer for families in this situation. Our caregivers know the value of sleep and will help your loved one get the rest they need by:

➤ Keeping them active and engaged to reduce daytime naps
➤ Improving sleep hygiene and bedtime routines
➤ Monitoring sleep patterns to better manage challenges

"This Fall Safety Month, it's time to talk about building stronger muscles.

Strong muscles are an important part of health for older adults. As we age, we lose up to 15% of our lean muscle mass, but the good news is that strength training can be used to build muscle at any age.

So what are the benefits of strengthening muscles? Lifting weights 2-3 times per week can reduce the risk of falling by:

✅ Improving Balance
✅ Increasing Bone Strength and Density
✅ Keeping Joints Healthy

At Home Care Assistance, physical health is one of the pillars of our Balanced Care Method™. We'll help your loved one find exercises that fit their ability level, so they can stay healthy and safe from falls as they age.
