Help at Home

Today we recognize and celebrate Juneteenth, a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

Our Richmond branch recently hosted clients and caregivers for a donut party!

We had a great time hanging out and enjoying some treats. A few of our staff members even made house-calls to deliver donuts to clients who couldn’t make it into the office.

Thank you, team, for all you do! 💜

In honor of the 55+ million people across the world living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month.

We’re celebrating two incredible caregivers from Columbus, IN!

Tania and Natalie are marking a milestone of 10 years with Help at Home this month! They have consistently delivered top-quality care to their clients, embodying the values we hold dear. We are incredibly grateful for their unwavering commitment and the positive impact they have made. Thank you, Tania and Natalie, for everything you do!

On this Memorial Day, we honor the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving our country in the United States armed forces.

This month is all about being kind to your mind.

We know that mental health is just as important as physical health, so we’re dedicated to supporting our caregivers and clients in their mental health journeys.

One way we do this is by offering our caregivers resources to avoid feelings of stress, burnout and isolation. When our caregivers feel valued and uplifted, they’re in turn able to provide the best possible care for our clients.

During this year’s Ethics and Compliance Week, our teams continued to further our mission of providing high-quality care to those aging in place. We are proud to be an organization that emphasizes ethical conduct, honesty, integrity, and respect in all that we do.

Kind people are our kind of people.

Here are a few ways you can spread joy and care this .

Most caregivers love talking to clients, but some clients might not feel like they have much to talk about – especially if they can’t get out much – so many of their days are the same.

Our caregivers find that asking them about their past is often a great way to get a good conversation started.
