Did you know that each Black History Month has an official theme, created by the founders of this annual observance?

The 2026 theme, “A Century of Black History Commemorations,” marks 100 years since the first organized observance of Black history in America in 1926. This theme invites us to reflect on the lasting impact of Black history while honoring a century of recognition, education, and celebration.

Yesterday, we found out that out of more than 4,000 home care providers across the U.S., our agency, this company in Berks County, was named number ONE. We are blown away.

This recognition comes from independent calls made directly to our clients and Caregivers about the care they receive and how they are treated.

We’ve never done this work for awards.

We do it because we care.

We do it because it matters.

We do it because it’s who we are and it’s the way we’ve done it for decades. To see that recognized on a national level is incredibly humbling.

Thank you to our Director, Gary, our Caregivers, our clients, and our management staff, Stacey and Debbie – this belongs to you.

As the winter months bring cooler, shorter days, we usually spend more time indoors than in other seasons. This makes our senior loved ones more prone to feeling isolated, lonely, and bored. A Caregiver providing Companionship Care can address your loved one's need for social engagement by:
🛍️ Assisting with shopping and errands
✍️ Writing and sending cards, notes, and emails
🧩 Supporting hobbies and interests
🫂 Providing companionship at social events
