Congratulations, Mandy Salamun, employee of the month for November 2024!

Mandy is calm and kind, always bringing comfort and reassurance to our clients. She is ready to help at a moments notice and can be trusted to do what she says she will do, show up when she says she will be there. Thanks so much for the great work you do, Mandy.

Congratulations, Leann Sindle, employee of the month for October 2024! We learned very quickly that Leann held two of the most important traits in our industry. First, she is reliable. If she says that she will be there to assist our client, she will be there. On time. Second, she is flexible. Things change rapidly in the healthcare industry and Leann is ready to change with them. Whether she acts as a backup to someone else or simply steps in for a client at the last minute, Leann is always ready. If that weren’t enough, she brings over 12 years of experience into the homes of our clients. No wonder they love her! Thanks again for your great work, Leann. We are honored to present this award and equally honored that you’ve chosen to be on our team!

At Amevian Home Care, we believe that JOY IS AN ADL—one that’s just as vital as dressing or eating. While other companies focus solely on the necessary routines, we recognize that there’s more to life than completing a checklist. Joy enriches every part of the day, boosts mental and emotional health, and makes life worth living. This is why we go beyond basic assistance by incorporating joy as a core part of our caregiving philosophy.

In addition, she’s always up for joining the rest of the team for a social event or even for our support of local charities. Thanks so much for all you do, Jannet. We are proud to have you as a part of the team!

No matter your age, a meaningful life involves joy and beauty. These are the good things in life, the things that memories are made of, and activities that make us happy to be alive. Quality care for your aging loved one will include not only help with health conditions, challenges, or limitations but also a focus on bringing joy, enrichment, and life to each person. Here are the top 10 types of activities that may benefit your aging loved one, or even yourself!

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a smart robot that could help your senior loved one live safely at home? The robot would help them get ready in the morning, assist with medications, drive them to doctor’s appointments, keep them company, make dinner and clean the house. Unfortunately, this robot does not exist yet. But there are many new, and even old, types of technology that can help older adults continue to live independently in their homes as long as possible.

Your dad doesn’t return your phone calls. Your normally well-groomed mom answers the door in an old housecoat with hair sticking in all directions. It can be hard to determine if these are signs that your senior loved one needs more help at home or whether they are just having a bad week. These 5 warning signs can give you suggestions on what behaviors you don’t want to dismiss as “just a bad day.”

Home is often where you feel the safest. But your home can also be filled with many surprising dangers as you age. According to a study done by WebMD, 90% of seniors report that they want to be able to age in their own home and not need to move. The good news is that with careful advance planning, you or your senior loved one can safely age in place.
