“I’m a supporter for him.”
These words capture the care behind the everyday tasks. Preparing meals, helping with laundry, getting to appointments and spending time out together all create opportunities to offer encouragement and companionship.
In this video, a caregiver shares what supporting her client looks like in daily life. Alongside practical help, there’s someone taking an interest, making time and helping him stay involved in his day.
That personal connection is such a meaningful part of care at home. 💚

An appointment to get to. A favorite meal to prepare. A little more time for the things that matter.
When you’re supporting an older loved one, a week can fill up quickly. Having someone dependable to share everyday responsibilities can make those plans feel more manageable for everyone.
Home Instead can help with transportation, meal preparation and companionship, with support shaped around individual routines and preferences.
If you’ve been wondering where to begin, think about the part of the week that feels hardest to manage. Your local Home Instead team can talk through what might help.
Sometimes, a change of scenery is something to look forward to.
In this video, one of our caregivers shares how drives and visits to a senior center offer opportunities to enjoy the surroundings and spend time together. Feeling the sunshine, watching the world go by and having someone alongside you can make an ordinary outing feel special.
Support can help older adults stay connected to the places and experiences they enjoy, at a pace that feels comfortable for them.

“Hospice is another word for hope.”
Families may worry that choosing hospice means they are giving up. Hospice can offer something very different: a team of people who come alongside your loved one and your family with comfort, care and support.
In this Caregiver Chats clip, gerontologist Dr. Julie Masters shares why learning about hospice sooner can help families access the resources available to them.

The years add to our stories. Our personalities, passions and preferences still deserve to shine.
The music someone loves, the opinions they hold and the sense of humor their family knows so well are all part of who they are. Growing older should never mean those things are overlooked.
At Home Instead, getting to know the person is an essential part of care. Understanding what matters to someone helps us support a life that continues to feel like their own. 💚

Did you know dementia can affect people under age 65?
When someone is still working, raising a family, or making plans for the future, cognitive changes can be easy to explain away or dismiss.
While age is the biggest risk factor for dementia, younger-onset dementia can happen. If changes in memory, thinking, or behavior feel unexplained, it is okay to ask questions and seek answers.

Support does not have to wait until everything changes.
It may begin with a little help around the home, such as meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands or companionship. As routines or circumstances change, additional support can be introduced. Over time, a personalized care plan can continue evolving around the individual’s needs, preferences and goals.
Flexible care helps families plan for today while knowing support can adapt for tomorrow. Contact your local Home Instead team to discuss what the right level of care could look like.

Cynthia’s words speak to something many families understand: there is real relief in knowing someone dependable is there caring for your loved one.
It can mean knowing they have companionship, support with everyday routines and a familiar person who takes the time to understand them. For families, that reassurance can ease some of the worry. For care professionals like Cynthia, it is a privilege to provide that support and become someone a family can trust. 💚

After a dementia diagnosis, it's common for families to pull back from social situations, but isolation can make the journey even harder.
Even when someone has difficulty finding words or remembering names, they may still recognize the emotions, relationships, and people who help them feel safe.
A familiar voice. A favorite song. Holding a hand. Simply sitting together. These moments of connection still matter.

Have you ever felt like something was different with someone you love, even if you could not explain exactly why?
Dementia can affect much more than memory. Changes in communication, judgment, mood, behavior, or problem-solving can sometimes appear before significant memory loss.
Trust your instincts. If something feels different, it is okay to ask questions and seek support.

Have you ever heard “dementia” and “Alzheimer’s” used as if they mean the same thing?
It is understandable. But dementia is an umbrella term for symptoms that affect memory, thinking, and everyday life. Alzheimer’s disease is one specific type of dementia.
Learning the language around a diagnosis can help families feel more prepared for the road ahead.

Are we helping, or are we making assumptions based on age? Sometimes the best way to support an older adult is simply to ask what they want and need. By listening first, we can help preserve independence.

There’s more to the Iowa State Fair than corn dogs and butter sculptures—it is also a place for meaningful conversations. 🎡🌭
Dr. Lakelyn spent the day at the Home Instead booth talking with fairgoers about aging, caregiving and the many ways families can find support.
One conversation that will stay with her was with Marv, who cared for his late wife, Sharon. He shared how meaningful Home Instead’s support was for them—a powerful reminder that care can make a real difference for both the person receiving it and the family member beside them.
She also stopped by the Iowa Department of Transportation booth to talk about one of the harder caregiving conversations: driving. Starting early, leading with empathy and focusing on safety can help make the conversation feel less like taking something away and more like supporting independence.
Grateful for everyone who stopped to share their stories, questions and wisdom. Stay tuned for more from the fair! 💜 Iowa DOT Iowa State Fair
