Due to the impending weather PLEASE check on your elderly neighbors. Make sure they have food -if you lose power- make sure they have a source of keeping warm - elderly people have a tendency to be cold anyway.

Our winter storm starts this evening, so today is your last chance to prepare! Confidence remains high in everyone seeing some accumulating snow with higher amounts the farther south you go. The first wave of snow comes this evening/overnight into Saturday with a lull during the late morning and into the afternoon before additional snow builds in Saturday night. Falling and accumulating snow will likely make travel hazardous!

🎄 For Those Whose Christmas Feels Different This Year 🎄

The holidays are often painted as joyful and full of cheer — but we know that isn’t the reality for everyone.

For many of the seniors we serve, this season may come with quiet moments, deep memories, and tender emotions. Some are facing their first Christmas without a spouse, others are adjusting to changes in independence, health, or daily routines. And for some, this time of year can feel heavy rather than merry.

At Keep Living At Home, we want you to know this:
You are seen. You are valued. And you are not alone. ❤️

Our caregivers don’t just help with daily tasks — they provide companionship, kindness, patience, and understanding. Sometimes that looks like sharing stories, sitting quietly together, listening, or simply being a familiar, comforting presence when the days feel long.

If this holiday season is hard for you or someone you love, please know there is no “right” way to feel. However it looks, however it feels — it’s okay.

From our hearts to yours, we’re sending comfort, warmth, and gentle moments of peace this Christmas. And if you need support, we are honored to walk alongside you. 💛

We are so grateful to share that a stair lift has served its purpose for a family and they are ready to generously donate to someome else in need. ❤️

This unit includes two short lift sections with a landing in between. It will require a new battery pack (that is $250 when ordered online), but is otherwise in great shape and ready to help someone regain comfort and independence in their home.

If you or someone you know could benefit from this, please reach out! We’d love to see it find the right home. 🙏

Please feel free to share this post to help spread the word. 💛

We had someone come in looking for a hospital bed for a family member as soon as possible. Is there anyone that has a hospital bed that you are looking to donate? If so, please message us and we will put you directly in contact with the person needing it! 💛

Happy Thanksgiving!

As you make your way home for the holidays this year look for some hidden hints that your parents may need a little help.

When you hug them do they feel a little thinner?
(Check their food supply. Did you know that if you are over 60 you can CALL and place an instacart order and you don’t have to do it online?)

When they walk through the house are they picking up their feet and walking without a shuffle?
(Check for trip hazards like rugs with shaggy edges, cords, or clutter)

Ask them if they have had any falls.
(This isn’t something that they typically offer up in conversation.) Placing LED night lights that come on automatically in bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways, and kitchens can help them orient when they wake up to use the bathroom or get a drink.

Have they made an appointment with SHICK to make sure they have the best prescription plan for their medications?

Do you see medication bottles or bubble packs with medications not taken? (Did you know you can get pill boxes with an alarm to remind them?)

Do they still drive? (If so are they enrolled in Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging’s CHAMPSS program for discounted meals for seniors with NO INCOME RESTRICTIONS?)

Do they live alone? Do they have a Life Alert? They may seem like they are doing fine, but it takes one fall and not being able to get up that will leave them laying on the floor.

Do they have an EMERGENCY packet with all of their information? A place where medics have all of their information? Placing it on the side of fridge is a great place!

Are the registered with smart911.com ?

This is helpful if they call 911, the paramedics will have their health information uploaded to their tablet immediately and know how to enter the home and who to contact.

Do you have one parent taking care of the other? (Is it becoming too much for them?) Did you know there are small adjustments that you can make that make a BIG difference.

A lot can change with someone in a short time, so being on the look out and having conversations about it is beneficial so you can help them before an emergency happens.

Do you have private help coming in to assist and would like to utilize a software that allows you to read the care notes daily?

Do you need assistance with understanding or filing the claims for their long term care insurance?

Our Care Management intake forms are FREE to help you start planning with your parents so that you know exactly what they want! ❤️. Or, when you are not sure where to start, we offer consultations for that as well.

We are always here to help offer additional resources and answer questions.

🍁 Fall Home Safety Reminders for Seniors 🍁

As the temperatures drop and the leaves start to fall, it’s time to cozy up — and make sure your home is ready for the season! Here are a few simple things to check off your fall list:

🔥 Make sure your furnace is clean and ready, the temperatures are dropping fast.

🚿 Unhook garden hoses and drain outdoor faucets to prevent frozen pipes.

🪟 Lock and seal windows to keep chilly drafts out and your home warm.

🔋 Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors — fresh batteries go a long way!

🛋️ Declutter walkways and hallways to reduce fall risks indoors.

🕯️ Inspect space heaters and cords before use for safety.

❄️ Stock up on winter essentials like salt, flashlights, and extra blankets.
