This is what a homeless shelter looks like when it's designed to treat people like human beings.

Instead of leaving people out in the cold, Minneapolis turned a warehouse into an indoor village of private rooms for homeless residents. This is Avivo Village, one of the first of its kind in the United States. Each unit has a bed, storage, and a door that locks. There is no curfew. Pets are allowed.

The project opened in December 2020 after COVID-19 and the aftermath of George Floyd's murder exposed the limits of traditional shelters. People in encampments told outreach workers they avoided shelters because of rigid rules, no privacy, and safety fears. Avivo was designed around those answers. It offers mental health care, addiction support, and housing assistance under a harm reduction model.

As of February 2026, the facility has served 831 people and helped 340 move into permanent housing. It was built in partnership with the White Earth Nation and won the ULI Americas Award for Excellence.

🧠✨ Your Brain Health Starts With Stress & Nutrition!

Did you know that chronic stress and poor nutrition may increase the risk of developing dementia?

What we eat and how we manage stress can have a powerful impact on brain health over time.

💡 Paying attention to stress levels and nutrition can help:
🥗 Support healthy brain function
🧠 Protect memory and cognitive abilities
💪🏾 Strengthen the body’s ability to fight inflammation
😌 Improve mood, sleep, and overall well-being
⏳ Potentially lower the risk of cognitive decline later in life

At Journey Together Home Care Agency, we believe caring for the mind is just as important as caring for the body. Our compassionate caregivers help support healthy meals, calming routines, and meaningful daily activities that promote brain wellness and independence. 💙

🫂 If your loved one needs support at home, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Human heroes. Love. Compassion. Support. Uplifting. Kindness. Warmth. 🥹😇

The delivery instructions said: "Leave at door. Please do not ring bell. I cannot walk fast."
When Marcus walked up the steps with the package, he saw Mr. Arthur, an 85-year-old veteran, sitting on a rusted lawn chair. Arthur was eating cold baked beans straight out of a tin can with a plastic spoon.
He looked frail and freezing in the autumn wind.

Marcus stopped. "Stove broken, sir?"
Arthur looked down, ashamed. "The gas was shut off last month. I can't afford the repairs. Cold food keeps me alive just fine."

Marcus delivered the package, but he couldn't stop thinking about the cold beans.
After his shift, Marcus went to Walmart. He bought a slow cooker and $50 worth of groceries.
He drove back to Arthur's house at 9:00 PM.
He plugged the slow cooker into a wall outlet in the living room and filled it with beef stew.

"You survived a war, sir," Marcus whispered, handing him a hot bowl. "You shouldn't have to survive a cold dinner."

Marcus now stops by every Tuesday to fill the pot.
Respecting our elders means making sure they never go hungry in the dark. 🍲📦

🌿💛 7 Self-Care Tips for Caregivers 💛🌿
From Journey Together Home Care Agency

Caregivers spend so much time caring for others that they often forget to care for themselves. Remember — your well-being matters too. When you care for yourself, you’re able to provide better care for others.

✨ Here are 7 simple reminders for caregivers:
1️⃣ Take Short Breaks
Even a few quiet minutes to breathe and reset can make a big difference.
2️⃣ Stay Hydrated & Nourished
Drink water and eat balanced meals to keep your energy up during long shifts.
3️⃣ Move Your Body
Gentle stretching or a short walk can help relieve tension and improve mood.
4️⃣ Set Healthy Boundaries
It’s okay to say no when you need rest. Balance is essential.
5️⃣ Talk About Your Feelings
Connect with other caregivers, friends, or family when you need support.
6️⃣ Prioritize Sleep
Quality rest helps your mind and body recover from the demands of caregiving.
7️⃣ Give Yourself Grace

✨ You are doing meaningful work. Celebrate the difference you make every day.

🫂 We believe caregivers deserve encouragement, appreciation, and support. 🤍

🥶🍀 Burrrrrr! Bundle up, Indiana! Please be safe.

🥶☘️ A frozen St. Patrick's Day is ahead for Indiana. After severe storms Sunday night and snow on Monday, expect wind chills to dip below zero for much of Indiana Tuesday morning. (March 15-17)

⚡️SEVERE THREAT
There is a high risk of damaging wind across Indiana as 50 MPH gusts are possible during the day Sunday. Storms by nightfall will just add to the wind. We could see gusts up to 80 MPH across Indiana, making it worse than Friday. An isolated tornado is possible but damaging winds are our highest risk. 80 MPH is the same as an EF-0 tornado.

❄️SNOW MONDAY
Snow showers will move in Monday. Don't expect a bunch of accumulation when you wake up, but rather snow moving into Indiana during the morning. Slick spots are likely throughout the state

A dusting or so is possible across much of Indiana, especially on grassy surfaces, but a handful of inches of snow are possible in far northern Indiana.

🥶COLD START NEXT WEEK
Monday will be cold, but temperatures will drop all day and all night so that by Tuesday morning we will have some wind chills below zero.

St. Patrick's Day 2026 will likely be in the top 15 for coldest St. Patrick's Days in history for Indianapolis. We will likely stay below freezing all day long.

A rapid warm-up is likely afterwards.

Buckle up Indiana.

🌙✨ Who’s Caring for Your Loved One While You Sleep? ✨🌙

Overnight hours can be the most vulnerable time for seniors. Increased confusion, fall risks, bathroom trips, wandering, medication timing — so much can happen after dark.

That’s why having reliable overnight caregivers AND a solid back-up plan is not a luxury… it’s peace of mind. 💛

At Journey Together Home Care Agency, we understand:
✔ Families need rest too
✔ Emergencies don’t follow business hours
✔ Consistency matters
✔ Back-up coverage protects everyone

When one caregiver can’t make it, there should never be panic. There should be a plan.

Overnight support means:
🌙 Fall prevention
🌙 Bathroom assistance
🌙 Repositioning & comfort
🌙 Monitoring confusion or sundowning
🌙 Immediate response if needed

Because quality care doesn’t clock out at 9PM.

If you’re depending on just one person with no backup — ask yourself honestly:
What’s the plan if they call off?

Let’s make sure your loved one is covered every hour of the night.

📩 Message us today to discuss overnight care options.
