Honoring the ones that keep it together - in more ways than one!

It's National Family Caregivers Month ❣️

Remember:

You are not supposed to be perfect.

You are not supposed to “power through” every day.

You are not supposed to feel guilty for being tired.

1️⃣Step back.
2️⃣Take 10 minutes today:
3️⃣Drink water
4️⃣ Breathe slowly and enjoy some quiet time
5️⃣Say one kind sentence TO yourself ➡️ “I’m doing my best. My best matters.”

Caregiving is heavy on the body AND the mind.

Rest is not selfish — it’s maintenance.

You are allowed to pause. You are allowed to refill. You are allowed to be human.

, let’s give credit where it’s due. 💙

Caregivers aren’t a “type” of person — they come from every background, every career, every neighborhood.

Let's recognize everything that’s wonderful about this work and the people who perform and benefit from it.

👵👴 Good news for seniors & tech: A recent study found that older adults who use smartphones, tablets, or computers are more socially engaged than those who don’t.

📱 Why this matters: Increased tech use means more connection — chatting, sharing, staying involved — which helps fight isolation.

💡 Try this: Help a senior in your life set up one new app or device this week. Even a simple video chat or photo-sharing app can make a big difference.

🌟 Let’s help our older loved ones stay active, social & plugged-in.

Your health. Your control.

This wraps up our series on simple habits that make a big difference.

You don’t need a new diet or a miracle supplement — just stop the small, daily choices that quietly sabotage your health:

✅ Hidden sugars and sodium in “healthy” foods
✅ Too much sitting, too little movement
✅ Living on coffee and stress instead of rest and water
✅ Relying on supplements instead of balanced meals

Small changes → big impact.

Start with one. Fix it this week. Then another.

That’s how real, lasting health is built — one decision at a time.

🏃‍♂️You can’t out-run a bad routine.

Health isn’t just about diet—it’s sleep, stress, and movement too.
🚫 Skipping workouts
⏰ Burning the candle at both ends
📱 Living on screens

Even one of these can undo days of healthy eating.

Think you’re eating healthy? Think again.

Nutrition blunders and common mistakes include:

🥣 Relying on “healthy” processed foods
💧 Forgetting hydration
🍞 Ignoring portion control

New habits stick better when linked to routines you already have. Pair water with brushing teeth or fruit with morning emails.

Which one’s your weak spot?

7 quick tips for long-term care insurance alternatives

Not everyone qualifies—or can afford—traditional long-term care insurance. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

Here are seven practical ways to fund long-term care, from veteran benefits to creative financial strategies.

1️⃣VA Aid & Attendance – Veterans or surviving spouses can receive up to $2,358 monthly for care—tax-free and inflation-adjusted.
2️⃣Self-Funding – Plan early, calculate future care costs, and build savings to cover potential long-term expenses out of pocket.
3️⃣Workplace Plans – Some employers offer portable group LTC policies—check eligibility before retiring.
4️⃣Life Settlement – Sell an existing life insurance policy for a cash payout to help cover care costs.
5️⃣Reverse Mortgage – Tap into home equity for care funding, though it reduces inheritance potential.
6️⃣Hybrid Policies – Combine life and long-term care insurance into one plan; vet providers carefully.
7️⃣Annuity Income – Direct steady annuity payments toward assisted living or in-home care expenses.

For more information and to find a solution that works for you contact your local, licensed in home care provider.
