🌟 Caregiver of the Month: Hamdi 🌟

We’re proud to recognize Hamdi for her dedication and compassion as a caregiver! With 4 years of experience, Hamdi was inspired to become a caregiver after spending two years caring for her grandmother, a role that shaped her heart for helping others. 💙

Hamdi’s favorite part of caregiving is simple but powerful: helping people. She joined Assisting Hands after finding us on Indeed and loves our amazing clients, flexible scheduling, and supportive office team that helps her find the right fit.

In her free time, Hamdi enjoys going for walks and cooking. She’s also a proud mom of two kids!

Thank you, Hamdi, for the care and kindness you bring to our clients every day. We’re so glad to have you on our team! 👏💐

The beginning of the year is a natural time to think ahead about care. Planning early allows families to move forward with clarity and confidence. In-home care offers personalized support that adjusts as needs change, helping older adults remain at home while families feel supported along the way.

Supporting a loved one with dementia often requires families to adjust how they communicate and connect. This article offers helpful guidance on creating calmer interactions, using reassurance, and understanding the emotions behind certain behaviors.

Families who learn these approaches can reduce frustration and build more meaningful moments with their loved one. https://assistinghandscolumbus.com/helping-family-members-learn-how-to-interact-with-a-loved-one-with-dementia/

Purposeful activities boost emotional wellness for seniors. Light tasks, such as organizing small items or caring for plants, provide meaning and promote independence. These routines support both confidence and joy.

Colder weather can lead to reduced fluid intake for seniors. Encouraging warm teas, broths, and scheduled water breaks can help maintain hydration. Staying properly hydrated supports energy, mood, and overall wellbeing during winter months.

We are grateful for families who share their experiences with our care. Mason described how meaningful it was to have compassionate support for his mother who is living with late stage dementia.

He shared that their caregiver, Fardowsa, consistently goes above expectations and provides the trustworthy and caring support their family hoped for.

We appreciate the opportunity to be part of their care journey.

On this Christmas Eve, we’re holding close the memory of Aggie, our founder’s mother. When she went through cancer treatments, compassionate caregivers made all the difference.

Each Christmas season, we remember Aggie and all those we’ve cared for who won’t be with their families to celebrate this season. Their stories remind us of what matters most in caregiving: compassion, presence, and the everyday moments that bring comfort and dignity.

We’re grateful for the trust families place in us to make these moments possible.

To all of our clients, partners in care, and everyone who follows our work, thank you for being part of our community. Wishing you comfort, peace, and joy this Christmas Eve and throughout the holiday season.
