When Love Means Keeping Watch: Honoring Family Caregivers
By Anne Sansevero, RN, MA, GNP, CCM It was 2 a.m. when Margaret woke to the sound of the front door creaking open. Her husband John, who lives with Alzheimer’s, was quietly putting on his shoes. “I have to get to work,” he said, though he retired years ago. Margaret gently took his hand. “You’re

The incredible advantage of Holistic HomeCare Associates is the time they take to thoroughly vet the qualifications of their caregivers, offer options for your budget and search for the right fit. It’s such a far cry from regular home care agencies—really entirely different services. We couldn’t have made it through without their terrific aides and the support and expertise of their placement staff.

One of my clients had an urgent need for a companion. Her mental health had recently deteriorated to the point where she could not safely be alone in her apartment. I called Holistic HomeCare Associates and within a matter of days, I hired two wonderful caregivers that my client immediately embraced; they took the necessary initiative in caring for my client both medically and emotionally. As the legal guardian, I enrolled in the Employer Support Plan which made hiring caregivers smooth and seamless. Paychecks were automatically withdrawn from the bank account and I received weekly online payroll summaries by email, which made it very easy to stay up to date with fees and financial record keeping.

When my mother was anxiously looking for home care, I contacted Holistic HomeCare Associates and spoke with Rick. He was very responsive and personally visited with my mother to explain the hiring process. Since I live out of state, he updated me by phone and email and kept me in the loop. Since that time my mother has received excellent care from a wonderful team of caregivers and has only good things to say about her experience. This reflects very well on Holistic HomeCare Associates and the people that work there, since my mother is a very discerning and sometimes demanding client.

Holistic HomeCare Associates could not have been a more supportive, efficient and responsive organization to work with when it came time to put together a team of caregivers to take care of my parents. They took the time to understand who my parents were and what they needed. They provided an excellent group of prospective candidates and helped with selection, scheduling, and the details of payroll. As a result, my parents are being looked after by a wonderful group of caring, well-trained and trustworthy caregivers, some of whom feel like family. I could not think more highly of Holistic HomeCare Associates and the people who run it. I’m not sure where my family would be without them.

I just want to stress, if I haven’t already, how tremendously grateful I am to Holitsic HomeCare Associates for sourcing our wonderful caregiver Allen. He is fabulous — he makes her laugh, makes her feel safe, engages her, and handles everything so well. For my mom, a day with Allen is a good day.

What a privilege to be part of such a beautiful and meaningful gathering hosted by the National Aging in Place Council of New York at Inspir Senior Living.
Author and advocate Mary Lou Falcone spoke deeply from the heart about her journey as a wife, friend, and caregiver to her late husband, the artist and musician Nicky Zann. A true renaissance woman — operatic singer, classical music publicist, and strategist — Mary Lou shared powerful lessons and heartfelt caregiving insights in a moving presentation filled with humanistic pearls of wisdom.
Her book, “I Didn’t See It Coming,” is a must-read for families navigating the caregiving journey for a loved one with dementia.
Special thanks to @Dana Reisch for coordinating this inspiring program!

How strong is your memory?
We were treated to an inspiring talk by Matthew Goerke, one of America’s leading experts in Memory Development, at the recent Orion Resource Group meeting. He showed us how simple techniques can boost memory and recall — and by the end, everyone could remember the fifteen words we’d forgotten at the start!
One great takeaway: When meeting someone new —
1. Slow down, focus, and really listen to their name.
2. Repeat it often & naturally in conversation: “Where did you grow up, Sam?” “Sam, I noticed that…”
Matt’s "Memory Switch" home study course makes it easy to train your memory — for business, study, or everyday life — at any age.
At Holistic HomeCare Associates, we love discovering tools that help families and professionals stay sharp and connected — like these memory-boosting tips from Matthew Goerke!
“There’s no such thing as a bad memory, just an untrained one.”

What an inspiring morning with Speaker Matt Goerke at Atria on the Hudson! He shared amazing ways to “switch on” our memories — helping us stay sharp, focused, and stress-free. At Holistic HomeCare Associates, we see how these skills empower families and caregivers to connect, stay organized, and make thoughtful care decisions together.
Rick Gang called it “the most outstanding and informative lecture yet!”

How Families Can Use Pooled Trusts to Fund the Care Their Loved Ones Deserve
As October comes to a close, let’s remember the message of Long-Term Care Planning Month — peace of mind starts with preparation.
A pooled income trust can help bridge the gap to maintain Medicaid benefits while allocating funds for additional care hours not covered by Medicaid—while keeping Medicaid benefits.
Holistic HomeCare Associates helps families combine Medicaid + private pay hours through pooled trusts, ensuring loved ones receive the complete, compliant, and compassionate care they deserve at home.
💜 Choice. Control. Compliance.

Senior Law Day Presentation
What a wonderful day in Westchester at Senior Law Day. Such a privilege to be among the many fantastic speakers and resources gathered for this important community event. As I presented on key aging trends including solo aging, aging in place, smart homes, and cybersecurity, we also talked about home care and safe ways to hire caregivers directly. We also dispelled some myths – Medicare does not fund home care and the Medbed is not a new technology but a conspiracy theory!
