Veterans Day is a time to reflect on the courage and sacrifices of those who have served our country. We believe that honoring Veterans and surviving spouses goes beyond just words; it means helping them live with dignity and independence in the comfort of their own homes.
Our partner, Veterans Care Coordination®, can assist aging wartime Veterans and their surviving spouses in exploring resources for the home care they need.
If you need home care support and your loved one is a Veteran or surviving spouse, they may be eligible for a benefit that may help pay for home care assistance. Call us today to find out more: 1-844-312-5913

How have you helped lighten someone’s load today — emotionally, physically, or simply with kindness?
Caregiving is one of the most powerful ways to bring light into someone’s life. Every act of support — big or small — eases a burden and reminds others they’re not alone. 💛

Early detection makes a real difference. https://alzheimer.ca/en/about-dementia/do-i-have-dementia/differences-between-normal-aging-dementia

Has caregiving brought you joy by making someone else’s day brighter? 🌞💛
Caregiving is one of the most powerful ways to experience this truth. Each act of care — a meal prepared, a kind word, a listening ear — not only supports your loved one but also fills your own heart with purpose and happiness. 💕
Intuitive eating isn’t a diet—it’s a kinder, smarter way to nourish your body. It's all about honoring internal hunger and fullness signals, letting go of food guilt, and building a healthier, more peaceful relationship with eating. This body-positive approach can improve mental well-being, reduce emotional eating, and naturally guide you toward balanced nutrition without food rules. https://www.bannerhealth.com/healthcareblog/teach-me/intuitive-eating-listening-to-what-your-body-wants-you-to-eat
