Tips for preventing frozen pipes and what to do if pipes are frozen:
Frozen pipes can be a significant concern for seniors, as they may be more vulnerable to the consequences of water damage and may have difficulty dealing with the situation. It’s essential to check on seniors during cold weather and ensure their home is warm enough to prevent pipes from freezing. If pipes do freeze, help them thaw them slowly with a hair dryer or towel, and offer assistance with cleaning up any water damage.

Sometimes the signs are subtle—but they matter.

If you’ve noticed small changes in a loved one, it may be time to explore in-home support before a crisis occurs. Having help doesn’t mean giving up independence—it means protecting it.

Why "Like Our Own" Isn’t Just a Name—It’s How We Redefine Senior Care

Most families searching for homecare aren’t just looking for a "service provider" or a name on a contract. They are looking for a person they can trust—someo...

• Personal care and hygiene
• Mobility and transfer assistance
• Medication reminders
• Meal preparation and light housekeeping

Many families assume the government will pay for home care if they or a loved one needs it.
But that’s changing.
➡️ Medicaid currently pays more than half of all long-term care costs in the U.S., mostly for home and community services — but federal cuts and stricter eligibility are reducing those benefits and increasing waitlists.
➡️ Over 5 million people receive Medicaid-covered home care today, yet demand still far exceeds supply.
➡️ Long-term care costs are very high — in 2024 the median annual cost for a home health aide was about $77,000, and a private nursing home room averaged over $127,000/year.
➡️ Most Americans are not prepared financially, and Medicare doesn’t typically cover these costs.

👉 Planning ahead with long-term care coverage helps protect your savings, gives you more choices about where you receive care, and prevents families from being financially overwhelmed.

Sensory play 😊! Soft gel liquid sensory toys, like squishy bags or sensory balls, are super popular with kids. They're filled with colorful liquids and often have fun textures or objects inside.

These toys are important for kids' development because they:
- Enhance sensory exploration and curiosity
- Develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
- Encourage creativity and imagination
- Provide calming and relaxing effects

Plus, they're super fun to squish, stretch, and play with 😄!

Do you use these toys with the kids in your childcare center?
