Touring senior living communities for a loved one? Look beyond the scheduled visit.

In this clip from Caregiver Chats, Nicole Will shares why it can be helpful to stop by at a different time—like an evening or weekend—and notice the everyday experience. Are residents interacting naturally? Do team members seem calm, attentive and familiar with the people they support?

The right community is about more than the building. It’s about finding a place where your loved one can feel connected, valued and at home.

💻 October — Cybersecurity Awareness Month
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—a great reminder that staying safe at home includes staying safe online, too! 🔐💚

Older adults can be especially vulnerable to scams, phishing emails, fake tech-support calls, and requests for personal or financial information. Care Professionals and family members can play an important role by helping clients recognize warning signs and encouraging them to stop and think before they click, respond, or share information.

A few simple reminders can help:

🔒 Use strong, unique passwords and turn on multi-factor authentication.
📱 Never give passwords, PINs, or verification codes to someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
✉️ Be cautious of unexpected links, texts, emails, and attachments.
💳 Never send money or gift cards because of an urgent phone call or message.
🚩 Remember: pressure to “act now” is often a warning sign.
👥 When in doubt, stop and ask someone you trust before taking action.

To our Home Instead Care Professionals: helping clients recognize something that doesn’t look or sound quite right can be another important way you help keep them safe. 💚💛

Stop. Think. Protect.

🎀 October — Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness, encourage early detection, celebrate survivors, and stand beside those currently facing breast cancer. 💗

For our clients, care professionals, families, and loved ones, this month is an important reminder to make your health a priority. Keep up with recommended screenings, know what is normal for your body, and talk with your healthcare provider about your individual risk factors.

Our Home Instead Care Professionals also understand that when someone is facing a health challenge, the little things can mean so much—preparing a meal, helping around the house, providing transportation, offering companionship, or simply being there to listen. 💚

💚 October — Emotional Wellness Month
A healthy mind and a happy heart matter at every age. 💚

October is Emotional Wellness Month—a reminder to take care of ourselves emotionally just as we do physically.

For older adults, emotional wellness can be strengthened through simple things: meaningful conversation, staying connected with family and friends, getting outside, enjoying a favorite activity, and having something to look forward to.

And sometimes, one of the greatest gifts is simply having someone there. ❤️ Our Home Instead Care Professionals provide more than assistance with everyday tasks—they offer companionship, encouragement, laughter, and a listening ear.

To our Care Professionals: your emotional wellness matters, too! Take time to rest, recharge, connect with people you love, and give yourself the same kindness you so freely give others.

Small moments of connection can make a BIG difference. 💚💛

💚 Plan Today for Tomorrow — Long-Term Care Planning
No one loves thinking about needing extra help someday—but having a plan can give you and your family more choices, more confidence, and greater peace of mind. 💚

Long-term care planning isn’t just about where you might live. It’s about thinking ahead about how you want to live, who you want involved, and what matters most to you.

A few things to consider:

🏡 Talk about your wishes. Would you prefer to remain at home as you age? Share your priorities with family now.
💰 Understand the costs. Learn what Medicare, Medicaid, long-term care insurance, and personal savings may—or may not—cover.
📄 Get important documents in order. Review your will, power of attorney, healthcare directives, and other important information.
🤝 Build your support team. Identify family, friends, professionals, and care resources you could turn to if needs change.
🩺 Think about future care needs. Consider transportation, medication reminders, meals, personal care, companionship, and home safety.
❤️ Start the conversation early. Planning before there’s a crisis allows everyone to make thoughtful decisions together.

At Home Instead, we believe aging should be filled with choice, dignity, independence, and connection. A little planning today can help make that possible tomorrow. 💚💛

After a dementia diagnosis, it's common for families to pull back from social situations, but isolation can make the journey even harder.

Even when someone has difficulty finding words or remembering names, they may still recognize the emotions, relationships, and people who help them feel safe.

A familiar voice. A favorite song. Holding a hand. Simply sitting together. These moments of connection still matter.

Have you ever felt like something was different with someone you love, even if you could not explain exactly why?

Dementia can affect much more than memory. Changes in communication, judgment, mood, behavior, or problem-solving can sometimes appear before significant memory loss.

Trust your instincts. If something feels different, it is okay to ask questions and seek support.

Have you ever heard “dementia” and “Alzheimer’s” used as if they mean the same thing?

It is understandable. But dementia is an umbrella term for symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and everyday life. Alzheimer’s disease is one specific type of dementia.

Learning the language around a diagnosis can help families feel more prepared for the road ahead.

Are we helping, or are we making assumptions based on age? Sometimes the best way to support an older adult is simply to ask what they want and need. By listening first, we can help preserve independence.

There’s more to the Iowa State Fair than corn dogs and butter sculptures—it is also a place for meaningful conversations. 🎡🌭

Dr. Lakelyn spent the day at the Home Instead booth talking with fairgoers about aging, caregiving and the many ways families can find support.

One conversation that will stay with her was with Marv, who cared for his late wife, Sharon. He shared how meaningful Home Instead’s support was for them—a powerful reminder that care can make a real difference for both the person receiving it and the family member beside them.

She also stopped by the Iowa Department of Transportation booth to talk about one of the harder caregiving conversations: driving. Starting early, leading with empathy and focusing on safety can help make the conversation feel less like taking something away and more like supporting independence.

Grateful for everyone who stopped to share their stories, questions and wisdom. Stay tuned for more from the fair! 💜 Iowa DOT Iowa State Fair
