**URGENT HELP NEEDED**

On October 28, 2025, the beautiful island of Jamaica faced unimaginable devastation when Hurricane Melissa, the strongest storm in the island’s history, struck with unrelenting force. The tragedy claimed 83 lives across the Caribbean, with 35 souls lost in Jamaica alone. With damages estimated at $7.7 billion, Jamaica needs our help now more than ever.

At Carousel of Home Care, we believe in supporting communities near and far. We’re proud to stand with Jodiann White of Piscataway, NJ, a courageous caregiver whose family members are experiencing catastrophic circumstances in Jamaica right now. Jodiann has shared moving images of her loved ones in Jamaica, making clear just how urgently support and relief are needed.

To ease the burden, Carousel of Home Care has donated a variety of adult medical supplies to aid Jodiann’s family as well as other members of the Jamaican community, including:

- 1 Liberty Honor Alert Device
- 1 quad cane
- 1 tri cane
- 26 large packages of Adult Diapers
- 2 cases of oral swabs
- A bag of foley catheter equipment and supplies
- 1 package of disposable bibs
- 1 Curaplex VibraPEP Breathing Therapy Device
- 2 Airway assist devices
- 2 oxygen hoses and oxygen equipment
- 22 Enteral Administration Kits

But those struggling to get back on their feet in Jamaica still urgently need food, clothing, medical supplies, and financial assistance.

If you’d like to help, please contact Brian at Carousel of Home Care at:

732-303-0245 or BrianT@carouselofhomecare.com

Together, our compassion can make a difference. Thank you for standing in solidarity with our neighbors in Jamaica!

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip 🌟

The holidays are a time for sharing meals and making memories but for those with food allergies, it’s also a time to be extra cautious. As gatherings and celebrations begin, take a few simple steps to keep everyone safe:

- Familiarize yourself with the top 8 food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish (such as crab, lobster, shrimp), tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans

- Try to ask the people you are hosting about allergies they may have before serving or sharing dishes.

- Use separate utensils and serving spoons to prevent cross-contact

- Keep allergy-safe snacks/options on hand for guests with dietary restrictions to include everyone in the celebration.

A little extra care can make every meal this season more joyful and worry-free!

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Meet Gricelda! 🌟

When asked what she loves most about being a caregiver, Gricelda shared, “I love everything! No job is perfect but I really love my job because it makes me feel useful to be able to help others and support their well-being.”

Gricelda’s dedication goes beyond providing care, for her it’s about the connection she gets to have with clients. She recalled, “I'll never forget after my dad passed away I walked into my client's home and he immediately offered me words of comfort. It really left an impact on me. Another moment was with a different client who was close to passing and he asked me to sit and pray with him. The connection you get to have with clients is what makes this work so meaningful to me.”

Outside of work, Gricelda enjoys taking peaceful walks that help her stay healthy and centered. “When I get a moment to myself, I love to go for walks. They help me feel healthy and at peace. I have noticed improvements to my health since I started incorporating them into my routine!”

Thank you, Gricelda, for the kindness, comfort, and care you bring to every client you meet. Your dedication reminds us all why caregiving is such a special calling. 💙

“Think Pink This October 💗”

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A time to support survivors, honor loved ones, and spread lifesaving awareness.

This is your reminder to schedule your routine mammogram and encourage the women in your life to do the same. Regular self-exams and screenings can detect breast cancer early, when treatment is most effective. The 5-year survival rate is 99% when caught early.

Simple habits can also lower your risk:
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
- Stay active and exercise regularly.
- Limit alcohol and avoid smoking.
- Know your family history and discuss risk factors with your doctor.
- This month, wear pink, spread awareness, and remind those around you that early detection saves lives.

💗 Carousel of Home Care proudly stands with survivors, caregivers, and families who show courage every day.

Please help Carousel of Home Care in supporting Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October and beyond. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Breast cancer death rates in the United States have dropped by 44% since 1989.
That’s not a coincidence. For 40 years, Breast Cancer Awareness Month has helped raise awareness of breast cancer across the nation. It has encouraged millions to take action, resulting in increased early detection and advancements in treatment that have saved more than half a million lives.

And we’re not stopping here. Join us in Helping Women Now, today.

🌟 Wednesday Care Tip 🌟

Caring for a loved one takes heart, patience, and energy but remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Taking care of yourself helps you continue giving the best care to others.

We’re also here to help if you ever feel like you need an extra hand or support!

Here are a few reminders to help prevent caregiver fatigue:

💚 Go for a walk to clear your mind and recharge.
💚 Attend a caregiver support group to connect with others who understand your journey.
💚 Reach out to family and friends when you need a helping hand or someone to talk to.
💚 Make time, even if its just a few minutes, for the things that bring you joy. Like your favorite hobby, a good book, or even just a few quiet minutes to yourself.
