Across the country, Home Instead teams are showing up with purpose at Walk to End Alzheimer’s events—walking in honor of loved ones, supporting families and raising critical funds for the fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. 💜

We are proud to partner with the ’sAssociation as a Walk to End Alzheimer’s Gold National Team. Together, Home Instead has raised more than $5.7 million over the past 18 years, including $258,000 last year alone, to advance Alzheimer’s care, support and research.

This year, we are well on our way to reaching our goal—and every donation and every step makes a meaningful difference. Thank you to every Care Pro, office team member, client, family member and community partner who walks, fundraises and helps move this mission forward.

When searching for a senior living community, touring more than one place can make all the difference.

Look beyond the amenities and notice the everyday interactions: Do team members know residents by name? Do they speak directly to the person who may live there? Does the community feel warm, personal and welcoming?

In this Caregiver Chats clip, Dr. Lakelyn and Nicole Will share why comparing communities can help families find the right fit for their loved one.

One tour rarely tells the whole story.

When you’re exploring senior living options for someone you love, visit more than one community—and pay attention to the details that reveal how people are truly cared for.

Are residents greeted by name? Are conversations warm and personal? Does the team speak directly to the older adult, not just their family?

Sometimes the clearest answer comes from comparing how each place feels.

Touring senior living communities for a loved one? Look beyond the scheduled visit.

In this clip from Caregiver Chats, Nicole Will shares why it can be helpful to stop by at a different time—like an evening or weekend—and notice the everyday experience. Are residents interacting naturally? Do team members seem calm, attentive and familiar with the people they support?

The right community is about more than the building. It’s about finding a place where your loved one can feel connected, valued and at home.

A scheduled tour can show you the highlights. An unscheduled visit can show you everyday life.

When you’re considering a senior living community for someone you love, Nicole Will suggests stopping by at a different time—an evening or weekend—and paying attention to what you see.

Are residents connecting? Does the team seem calm and engaged? Do people know one another by name?

It’s not just about finding a place to live. It’s about finding a place where your loved one can feel known, connected and at home.

Fact or fiction: you have to know everything before Home Instead will hire you? Fiction. Our hiring process includes two interviews, onboarding and caregiver training designed to prepare you for real situations. And when training wraps up, we don't just hand you an address and wish you luck.

Every time you're matched with a new client, we do an introduction, whether it's your very first week or five years from now. Our nurse or a Care Professional who already knows the client walks you through the home, shows you where everything is and goes over the daily routine. Want a refresher down the road? Stop by or call the office anytime for additional training on topics like dementia care or using a gait belt. And with our 24/7 phone line, a live person is always available to answer your questions during any shift, day or night.

That kind of support is why so many people find their calling in senior care careers with us. If you've been looking for home care jobs where you're never left on your own, we'd love to meet you. We're hiring for caregiver jobs in Clawson, Royal Oak, Troy, Madison Heights, Sterling Heights and the surrounding communities. The life you change could be your own.

When families begin exploring senior living, it’s easy to focus on the building first: the amenities, the dining room, the activity calendar.

But as Nicole Will () reminds us, the better place to begin is with the person.

What brings your loved one joy? Where do they find purpose? What kind of connection will help them feel known and at home?

In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn and Nicole share a more person-centered way to approach one of caregiving’s biggest decisions.

What if the most important part of your job wasn't what you did for someone, but how you made them feel?

At Home Instead, being a Care Pro means so much more than helping with everyday tasks. For some older adults, your visit might be their only meaningful interaction that day. You're someone they can talk to, laugh with, and look forward to seeing. Whether you're accompanying them to a doctor's appointment, helping with grocery shopping, or taking them to get their hair or nails done, you're providing something incredibly valuable: companionship and human connection.

If you've ever thought about becoming a caregiver but weren't sure what the job really involves, now is a great time to learn more. Home Instead is looking for compassionate people who understand that sometimes the smallest moments make the biggest difference. Your next career opportunity could mean the world to someone else.
