📖NEW Real Talk Article📖

In Kate Race's latest blog, she tackles one of the most frustrating challenges families face in dementia care: refusals and resistance.

Why does your loved one refuse a shower, medication, meals, or other daily tasks? Often, it's not stubbornness at all. It's confusion, fear, loss of control, or a reality that doesn't match our own.

In this article, Kate shares practical strategies for reducing resistance, improving communication, and approaching difficult situations with compassion instead of confrontation.

The greatest compliment we can receive is becoming a trusted part of a family's support system. We're honored that Tamika and Evelyn were able to provide the dependable, professional care that gave this family peace of mind during an important chapter of their journey.

"Assisting Hands has been an important part of Michal’s support team, and we will miss that. Tamika started with us in December 2024 when Michal came home from the hospital, and Evelyn has been with us since last year. They are both true professionals, and we gladly recommend them to anyone fortunate enough to receive their care and service." - William G., Caregiving Family Member

Care Tip Tuesday 📖

As always, every tip comes straight from our care team, sharing the best advice they've learned from years of hands-on experience.

Today's Topic: Better Visits 💬

This week's care tip from our care team:
"Improve the quality of your visits by reducing background noise like the TV."

For someone living with dementia, background noise can make it difficult to focus on a conversation. A television, radio, or multiple conversations happening at once can be overwhelming and make it harder to stay engaged.

Before your next visit, try turning off the TV and finding a quiet space to talk. You may find that your loved one is more relaxed, more engaged, and better able to connect.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments come from removing distractions and simply being present. 💙

🌟 June Caregiver of the Month: Desaray 🌟

Desaray consistently goes above and beyond, always showing up with a positive attitude and a professional appearance.

Her passion for caregiving comes from a deeply personal place. Having never known her grandparents, Desaray says she treats each of her clients as if they were the grandparents she never had. To her, clients are more than just clients, they're family.

Recently, when one of her clients experienced a fall, Desaray immediately volunteered to accompany her to the hospital so she wouldn't have to be alone. She stayed well beyond her scheduled shift until her client's daughter was able to arrive.

Desaray's dedication is fueled by the love and support of her family, especially her children, who remind her every day that giving up is never an option.

Thank you, Desaray, for the compassion, loyalty, and peace of mind you bring to the families you serve every day. 💙

In Kate Race’s latest blog, she explores one of the most important lessons in dementia care: you were never meant to do this alone. 💙🤝

Many family caregivers start out trying to handle everything themselves, but as dementia progresses, the responsibilities become heavier and more complex. Building a support team before a crisis happens can help both the caregiver and their loved one thrive.

Care Tip Tuesday 📖

As always, every tip comes straight from our care team, sharing the best advice they've learned from years of hands-on experience.

Today's Topic: Promoting Independence 👕

This week's care tip from our care team:

"Small changes like switching buttoned shirts to pullovers can help someone stay independent longer."

As we age, arthritis, weakness, or limited dexterity can make everyday tasks more challenging. Simple adaptations to clothing and daily routines can reduce frustration, build confidence, and help your loved one continue doing things for themselves.

Sometimes, maintaining independence isn't about making big changes, it's about making the right small ones. 💙
