When you show up to a partner visit and accidentally match outfits, you know it's meant to be. Our own Deb Packard had the best time running into Kim Ayers, Dietary Director at Edmond Post Acute — and clearly they both have impeccable taste. We're so grateful for the relationships we get to build in this community. Thank you, Edmonds Post Acute, for always welcoming us! 🧡

Most families caring for someone with dementia have never heard about the Medicare program may cover 72 hours of in-home care a year, at no cost.

It's called the GUIDE program, and the qualifications are simpler than people expect — a moderate to severe dementia diagnosis and Traditional Medicare (not Medicare Advantage).

This short video breaks down how it works in about a minute. If you're caring for a parent or spouse with dementia in King, Snohomish, or Pierce County, this one's worth a watch.

Most families caring for a loved one with dementia have never heard of Medicare's GUIDE program.

It's a benefit that launched in July 2024 — and for families in King, Snohomish, and Pierce Counties who qualify, it can mean up to 72 hours of no-cost in-home respite care each year.

We are set up to provide the in-home care for GUIDE-enrolled families in our area, and we put together a full resource page and a downloadable family guide to help families understand what it is, who qualifies, and how to get started.

If your loved one has a dementia diagnosis and is on Traditional Medicare (not Medicare Advantage), this is worth reading. The link is in the comments.

Feeling overwhelmed as a family caregiver?

That constant worry, the sleepless nights, the feeling that it is 100% on you all the time... those are signs that you may need support.

And asking for help does not mean you are giving up on your parent.

It means you are being practical, thoughtful, and honest about what your family needs.

“𝘈𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.”

So many adult children wait until they are completely burned out before reaching out. But the truth is, support is most helpful when you bring it in earlier than you think.

Caregiving is not only about caring for your loved one.

It is also about caring for yourself, your family, and your ability to keep showing up with patience, love, and strength.

In this clip, we talk about:
- Why caregiver overwhelm is a sign to pause and reassess
- Why asking for help is not failure
- How outside support can protect the whole family
- Why reaching out earlier can make caregiving feel more sustainable

One of the things I'm most proud of isn't our growth or awards—it's the people on our team.

Home care is personal work. Families trust us during some of the most challenging seasons of their lives, and our caregivers and office team take that responsibility seriously.

We are grateful for this recent Google review and wanted to share it with the people who earned it.

Thank you, team.

Introducing home care to a parent can be hard. Especially when the adult children see the need for support, but the parent says no.

The way you talk about it matters. Instead of saying, “You need this, Mom.” -- try framing it as support that helps everyone stay on top of things together.

Because home care is not about taking over, it is about protecting independence.

Home care does not have to feel like a big scary change. It can start as simple support that makes life at home feel safer, easier, and more manageable.

Home care isn’t just for the person receiving care.

Yes, it also helps the parent who isn’t as steady as they used to be. The loved one whose memory is changing. The person recovering from surgery or a hospital stay who needs support with daily routines.

But that’s only one side of it.

Home care also supports the family member holding everything together.

The adult daughter juggling work, home, kids, and caring for a parent. The spouse who has been the caregiver for years and is now running on empty.

Because when care becomes too much for one person to carry, the whole family feels it.

Home care brings stability to the whole situation.

It helps your loved one stay safe at home while giving the family room to breathe.

Meet Jeffery. 💙

Vietnam-era Navy veteran. Retired physician. He and his wife Yoshi spent three and a half years traveling overland — Nepal, India, across Africa by truck. He started medical school at 40.

A 2019 sledding accident brought him home to a power wheelchair. Today his world is smaller — but his caregiver through the VA's HHHA program gets him outside every day, and he is handwriting a memoir he says will take several volumes.

Near the end of our visit he smiled at Yoshi and said it simply: "That's what's keeping me alive. This lady. My caregiver. The grandkids. And writing down all the stuff we've done."
