In 2025, seniors and families wanted clarity, flexibility, and trusted support from their in home care provider. Every year brings new challenges for seniors aging at home and the families trying to support them.

The best home care solutions to these challenges are thoughtful, proactive, and personal, so our 2025 blog content focused on real questions families ask every day. “How does in-home care actually work?” “What keeps seniors safe at home?” “Why do some seniors resist help, even when they need it?” These conversations with our clients and community shaped the strategies we shared throughout the year.

This month, we present a 2025 home care review of the most important home care strategies and takeaways from Casa Companion this year. Each insight reflects real experiences from families navigating care decisions. Together, they tell a simple story. When care is tailored, consistent, and compassionate, seniors thrive at home and families feel supported.

Did you know that in the United States, nearly 4 million people a year miss or postpone medical care due to lack of transportation? Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) is a growing part of what seniors are doing to keep themselves healthy. San Diego seniors and their families came to rely on safe, licensed, and accessible rides to essential medical appointments.

NEMT in 2025 continues to demonstrate its value as a service that protects health, independence, and peace of mind. This year, we shared many ways that Casa Companion Transport Solutions supported seniors and their health care in San Diego.

The holidays can feel joyful, but they can also feel chaotic for seniors aging in place. Days get darker. Families get busier. Houses fill with décor, packages and suitcases in unexpected places. During the last few weeks of the year, seniors often face challenges that do not show up on greeting cards. The normal routine of the rest of the year changes significantly, and some seniors have a hard time adjusting. There are five main holiday problems that home care solves, so the elderly in home care maintain their routine and find joy in the season.

Safe, reliable travel to medical appointments for people with physical or developmental challenges can be hard to find. The solution is Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT), professional, assisted rides for patients that are middle ground between an ambulance and a rideshare.

NEMT vehicles are built for accessibility, unlike taxis or ride-share services. They have ramps, lifts, and room for wheelchairs or stretchers. Drivers are specially trained to help passengers safely and respectfully. Patients travel comfortably with people who care.

Consistency is the key to good healthcare because missed or delayed appointments make health problems worse, especially chronic conditions. Using NEMT keeps care consistent by ensuring patients always have a ride, on time and stress-free. There are four main reasons why NEMT is a smart, affordable choice for anyone needing dependable special needs transportation.

Families often face the challenge of in-home care resistance when seniors begin to need extra support. Parents or grandparents insist they don’t need help, even when they clearly do. A lifetime of being the adult in the room, plus a mix of pride and fear, tips them into denial. Understanding why seniors resist accepting help, and how to respond with compassion, can make the difference in keeping them safe.

After surgery, illness, or an injury, getting to physical therapy consistently is crucial to recovery. Regular therapy helps rebuild strength, improve balance, and restore independence. But for many seniors and their families, transportation presents one of the biggest hurdles to regaining health. Maybe the family caregiver also works full-time. Maybe the recovering patient can’t or shouldn’t drive anymore. Or maybe the clinic is just too far away for a quick trip. That’s where Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) comes in. It’s a simple, stress-free way to ensure loved ones never miss a therapy session, and to keep recovery on track. Many caregivers in San Diego rely on NEMT for recovery, to keep seniors progressing safely and comfortably after surgery or illness.

Did you know that about one in four people over age 65 fall each year? In 2016, over 20,000 seniors in San Diego County were treated in emergency departments for falls, and another 7,000 were hospitalized. Many falls are preventable through awareness, risk-assessment, and practical interventions, which home care solutions can support and provide.

Fall Prevention & Awareness Week is in September, highlighting the ways seniors, caregivers and families can prevent falls. As a home care agency in San Diego, we believe in prevention and safety. There are many fall prevention guidelines and tools available from local and national experts.

Falls are a top health risk for seniors, one of the leading causes of injury, loss of independence, and death. A simple slip can lead to injuries, hospital visits, or long recovery times. The good news is most falls can be prevented with the right support and resources.

This year, National Fall Prevention Awareness Week runs September 22 through 26. Keep reading to find information about workshops, free screenings, and classes designed to build balance and strength. Experts will share tips about medications, vision care, and home safety. Home care providers can learn how to spot risks before they turn into real problems. Families will get tools to help loved ones feel secure while aging at home.

Preventing falls is about more than safety; it’s about helping seniors stay confident, active, and independent in their own homes.
