Careers in Aging Week is celebrated every year to recognize the numerous opportunities available in aging services. This year, March 26 - April 1st is dedicated for Careers in Aging Week. It is important to acknowledge the critical role that home care providers play in ensuring the well-being of our aging population. With a growing elderly population, the demand for home care services is increasing rapidly and creating many career opportunities within home care.

One of the great things about ending a year is seeing all the positive growth and accomplishments of the previous twelve months. At Home Care Providers, we love sharing information that can help you do your best caregiving and keeps you on top of home care trends.

It’s here. That time of year again.

The 2022 McKnight Tech Awards culminated last week with a webinar that brought together the ultimate event for some of the most fascinating senior care tech options out there offering innovative and helpful technology serving the skilled care, senior living and home care sectors.  

Is there anything more gratifying in this world than knowing you’ve made a difference in someone else’s life?  

We can all agree caregiving is stressful. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we want to make sure you are not leaving your stress unchecked!

Did you know April is dedicated to celebrating occupational therapists and bringing awareness to the profession?

The greatest strength of occupational therapy (OT) is being able to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s individual needs, life, abilities and limitations. Occupational therapy bridges an often overlooked gap between evidence-based recovery science and the art of adaptive technologies and creative problem solving. 

Caregiving is often found as a result of a crisis situation. We hear a lot, “If I only knew then what I know now.” As an adult child, we may often find ourselves unprepared for a loved one’s medical crisis. Creating a plan for prevention, involvement and knowledge building can help ensure your loved one is receiving the best medical care possible when an emergency happens.

We’ve all heard the saying “teamwork makes the dream work”.

There is a mental, physical and financial toll effecting our nations caregivers. It is important to recognize all the efforts caregivers are making to care for family and loved ones. The desire to help others is healthy and very human, especially following medical episodes but ongoing caregiving can become overwhelming, and this impact can be deep.
