Caring for a parent can bring up a lot of complicated emotions, especially when the relationship has been difficult.

In this Caregiver Chats conversation, Dr. Lakelyn and licensed mental health counselor Rebecca Johnson explore the often unspoken experience of caring for a narcissistic parent, with compassion for the boundaries, grief, and mixed feelings that can come with it.

🐾 Team meetings are serious business around here… or at least Hazel thinks they are! 😹

Hazel always makes sure she’s right in the middle of things, supervising our team meetings and keeping everyone on track. After all, someone has to make sure we’re doing our jobs! 🐱💼

We’re pretty sure our best ideas happen when Hazel is in the room. ❤️

As a gerontologist, I’ve seen firsthand the difference professional caregivers make for older adults and their families. It’s time we recognize caregiving for what it is: an essential profession deserving of respect, investment and opportunities for growth. - Lakelyn Hogan Eichenberger

Yvette Nicole Brown recounts her father's Alzheimer's journey and shares an important lesson: Hiding from a diagnosis only prolongs discomfort. Once her family knew what they were up against, her father could get the care he needed, and she could begin the process of acceptance. 🫂

🐾💚 We’re almost halfway through August! 💚🐾

Hazel is spending her August days exactly how she thinks they should be spent — curled up in Heather’s lap, soaking up all the pets and attention! 🥰🐱

At Home Instead, we know that companionship matters. Sometimes, having someone there to talk with, share a laugh with, or simply enjoy a quiet moment together can make all the difference.

Just like Hazel knows, everyone deserves a little extra love and attention! 💚

As we make our way through August, let’s remember to slow down, check in on the people we care about, and enjoy those little moments of connection. ☀️

Because at Home Instead, care is about more than helping around the house — it’s about helping people feel supported, valued, and cared for. 💚

When someone living with dementia does something unexpected, our first instinct is often to blame the person.

Instead, blame the disease.

In this clip from Caregiver Chats, geriatric social worker Mindy Crouch shares a simple mindset shift that can help families—especially children—respond with empathy instead of confusion or embarrassment.

By separating the person from the disease, we can protect their dignity, reduce fear, and create more compassionate moments together.

It’s hotter than a pepper sprout out there! 🥵

And while we’re all reaching for iced drinks and fans, older adults need a little extra care to stay safe in the summer heat.

Here’s your caregiver-approved summer safety toolkit for aging loved ones:

💧 Hydrate with variety – Water is essential, but try chilled fruit, herbal iced tea, smoothies, or even popsicles to keep it fun and refreshing.

👒 Dress smart – Light, breathable clothing and wide-brimmed hats help regulate temperature and protect sensitive skin.

🌬️ Cool it down – If there’s no AC, use fans, cold washcloths, or even a bowl of cool water for hands and wrists to provide quick relief.

🌿 Time outdoor activities wisely – Early mornings or evenings are safest. A short stroll, porch chat, or birdwatching can bring joy without overheating.

👂 Connect with care – Sometimes, just being present — listening, sharing a memory, or sitting together — is the best form of comfort.

Let’s keep our older adults safe, seen, and supported this summer.
