Medication mistakes are one of the leading causes of preventable hospitalizations among older adults, but many can be avoided with a few simple safeguards. Consider Mary, an active 84-year-old who managed her own medications. After a routine medication change, she accidentally took her blood pressure medication twice a day for nearly a week. What started
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.
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 have been providing exceptional round the clock care for my Mom for the past two years. The care team is compassionate, competent and the overall experience has been seamless. It’s been a great two years working with you!
Holistic HomeCare Associates provided us with well trained, highly responsible and personable home aides who have never failed us. In addition, they directed us to important resources when we needed to obtain durable medical equipment products and supported us every step of the way. During a very stressful time of our lives, Holistic HomeCare Associates was there for us and made our lives easier.
My mom was highly resistant to home care until we were able to match her with an exceptional caregiver from Holistic HomeCare Associates was exceptional. After experiencing the companionship, skilled meal preparation, and kind care, my mom’s attitude changed. She now has a regularly scheduled caregiver who accompanies her on walks, to doctor visits, cooks fantastic dishes, and handles light-duty cleaning. I don’t think she would have been able to stay in the apartment without the help of Holistic.

For many families, moving between winter and summer homes is a cherished tradition. But for a loved one living with dementia, a seasonal transition can feel deeply disorienting.
In our latest blog, we share the story of the Cohen family and how they learned to help their mother, Sarah, transition safely and calmly.
With thoughtful planning, these moves can become much smoother. Here’s a sneak peek at a few strategies that make a big difference:
1. Talk about the move early using photos and familiar stories.
2. Recreate their bedroom setup with favorite blankets and pictures.
3. Travel during their calmest time of day to avoid overstimulation.
As one family told us: "She may not remember the house, but somehow her heart remembered the feeling of joy, connection, and safety there." 💙
Read the full story and discover all our tips for easing the transition here: www.holistichomecareassociates.com/summer-moves-dementia-easing-the-transition/
If your family is planning a move and needs extra support, Holistic HomeCare Associates is here to help with expert transition consulting and experienced caregivers.
