True North Home Care

Caring for a spouse or parent with dementia can be exhausting in ways that are difficult to explain to someone who has never done it.

You may be listening for footsteps at night.

Answering the same question all afternoon.

Managing meals, bathing, appointments, laundry, and household responsibilities.

Trying to work at the same time.

And wondering whether it is okay to admit that you are tired.

Getting additional help does not mean stepping away from the person you love.

Sometimes it means having someone else handle a few hours of care so you can sleep, go to an appointment, see a friend, spend time with your children, or simply leave the house without worrying every minute.

If you have not had a meaningful break in a long time, it may be worth talking about what additional support could look like.

“How will you choose someone who actually gets along with my mom?”

That is a very fair question.

Home care is personal.

The Care Provider is entering someone's home, learning their routines, hearing their stories, helping with everyday activities, and sometimes assisting with very private needs.

Skills matter.

Screening matters.

But personality and comfort matter too.

When interviewing a home care agency, ask questions such as:

How are Care Providers screened?

What happens if the first match does not feel right?

Do you have experience with dementia?

How do you learn about a client's routines and preferences?

What happens when care needs change?

Our free family dementia guide includes questions worth asking any home care provider, including us.

Being an informed family should never be discouraged.

🍂 Celebrating the people who make True North Home Care special. ❤️

Last month, we brought our team and their families together for our Fall Family Festival — a day dedicated to employee appreciation, connection, and fun!

From chili, popcorn, cotton candy, and cookies, to games, crafts, a coloring contest, family photos, and the bounce house, there were plenty of smiles and memories made along the way! 🍁

But the best part was simply spending time together!

To our incredible caregivers and team members: thank you for the compassion, dedication, and heart you bring to the families we serve every day. We’re grateful to have you as part of the True North family!

Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments from the day. ❤️

“But Dad says he’s fine.”

He may genuinely believe that.

Or “I’m fine” may mean:

“I don’t want to lose my independence.”

“I don’t want strangers in my house.”

“I don’t want you spending money on me.”

“I’m embarrassed that this has gotten harder.”

Conversations about home care often go better when they are not framed around everything a parent can no longer do.

Instead of saying, “You can’t take care of yourself anymore,” try starting with one specific concern.

“I know showers have been harder lately. What would make that feel safer?”

Our free dementia guide includes tools to help families organize concerns before having difficult care conversations.

Because sometimes finding the right words is the first step.

Veterans and surviving spouses may have care benefits they have never had a reason to investigate before.

One program worth understanding is VA Aid and Attendance.

For qualifying Veterans and survivors who receive a VA pension and meet additional requirements, Aid and Attendance can add money to the monthly pension. One qualifying situation can involve needing another person's assistance with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, or eating.

Eligibility is not automatic, and not every Veteran will qualify.

But if an older Veteran in your family now needs help at home, it may be worth learning whether VA benefits could be part of the care plan.

True North Home Care can discuss the home care side of the conversation. The VA determines eligibility for VA benefits.

Call (402) 981-8593 to start the conversation.
