It starts with the caregiver.

About 1 in 10 of our home care clients experience a significant change in condition or a hospital event each month.

In our integrated care model, roughly 1 in 4 of those clients transition to home health services. That transition happens because a caregiver noticed something early and spoke up.

What happens next can make all the difference.

Health decline often builds gradually. Subtle changes appear first — mobility shifts, increased confusion, appetite changes, wound concerns.

When caregivers recognize those signs and we respond quickly, we can intervene earlier and reduce the risk of avoidable hospital stays.

At PurposeCare, integrating home care and home health to reduce preventable hospitalizations is why we exist.

Care works best when the people closest to the client are heard and trusted.

And it starts with the caregiver.

Less than a week into her new job, Lilly faced a crisis most of us hope we will never encounter.

During her visit, she noticed her client behaving erratically and becoming increasingly agitated. The client began talking about harming herself. As the situation escalated, she picked up a knife.

But Lilly stayed calm.

She remained with her client, spoke gently, and helped her put the knife down. She then called the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline (988) and activated emergency services.

Her client is now receiving the mental health care she needs.

We’re proud of Lilly and the whole PurposeCare of Michigan team for her composure, quick thinking, and steady presence in an incredibly difficult moment.

Black History Month is an opportunity to recognize those whose work has shaped professional home care and home health, and the caregivers who continue to deliver exceptional, compassionate care in homes each and every day.

These are just a few of the leaders who strengthened professional standards, expanded opportunities within nursing, and helped establish the foundation of modern home-based care.

Their influence continues wherever care is delivered.

1. Jessie Sleet Scales
Among the first documented Black visiting nurses in the United States. In 1895, she provided organized nursing care directly to patients in their homes.

2. Mary Eliza Mahoney
The first Black professional nurse in the United States. She elevated standards and advanced professionalism in nursing.

3. Hattie Bessent
These leaders strengthened professional standards, expanded opportunities within nursing, and helped establish the foundation of modern home-based care. Their influence continues wherever care is delivered.

Brrr...it's cold out there!

Extreme cold creates real risks for seniors—frozen pipes, power outages, and unsafe travel.

We put together a simple extreme cold weather safety checklist designed for older adults, caregivers, and families.

If you support a senior—or are one—this is worth downloading and keeping on hand.

Find the link to download the guide in the comments.

Recovery is rarely easy, and having the right people by your side can make all the difference.

Carol shared how the encouragement and support from her PurposeCare team in Aurora helped her regain confidence and independence after knee replacement surgery. She specifically recognized Dr. Maki and Nurse Orielle, whose consistent, positive care supported her progress and made a challenging recovery feel more manageable.

We’re grateful to Carol for sharing her experience, and to Dr. Maki and Orielle for the care they bring to every visit. This is what patient-centered care looks like in practice!

💙 Tag a great caregiver in your life 💙

A lot of what a great caregiver does never gets written down—but it can literally save lives.

Great caregivers:
✅ Notice when something feels “off”
✅ Are a steady presence when someone’s routine changes
✅ Support independence, confidence, and dignity
✅ Prevent unnecessary trips to the hospital
✅ You show up with patience, warmth, and geniune human connection

That work changes outcomes, keeps people safer, gives families peace of mind, and helps the healthcare system focus on true emergencies.

If you're a caregiver and haven’t heard it yet today—thank you for everything you do.
