Are you affiliated with Honor Care?

No. Honor Care (honorcare.com) acquired Home Instead in 2021 — a different company providing in-home aide services. ElderHonor is independent, based in Audubon, PA, and focused on caregiver education and the Caregiver Competency System EAP.

How fast can you launch the caregiver EAP?

Five business days from contract signed to live for your team. First impact data in 30 days, then reporting at 60, 90, and 120 days.

Is the Complete Caregiving Toolkit HSA or FSA eligible?

It is LSA-eligible at employer discretion today. HSA/FSA eligibility via Truemed is coming in summer 2026.

What if the toolkit isn't enough?

Every dollar you paid for the toolkit applies as credit toward a coaching package — no double-pay. You can also book a free 30-minute call to get unstuck. Those are our two promises.

Can I just hire an assistant to handle caregiving for me?

You can, but an assistant doesn't know your parents, your family dynamics, or what matters most to you, so things get missed. It works better to walk into their office with a plan already in hand and pay only for what they actually need to do.

Can I just wing it instead of making a caregiving plan?

Some people manage. But winging it carries unintended consequences — stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and doubt — for you and for your family, siblings, and parents. A plan removes most of that.

Should I go through the toolkit alone or with my family?

We recommend the whole family. The toolkit was built for siblings, partners, and even adult children to work through together, so the knowledge spreads and the plan has buy-in. It affects families for generations.

Is the caregiving toolkit really worth $197?

It is $197 for three years of access to 15 modules, 30 assessments, and worksheets covering the conversation, the move, and the last chapter. The quality time you spend with your parents while working through it isn't included in the price.

How Companion Care Reduces Senior Loneliness

Loneliness in older adults can harm health, not just mood. In the U.S., about 1 in 4 adults age 65+ are socially isolated, and poor social connection has been linked to a higher risk of depression, memory problems, heart disease, hospital visits, and early death.

If I had to sum this up in one line, it would be this: companion care helps by putting steady human contact back into a senior’s week. It is nonmedical in-home help built around conversation, shared activities, rides, errands, meal help, and routine.

Here’s the short version:

Loneliness, social isolation, and living alone are not the same
Companion care is for social contact and light day-to-day help
It does not cover bathing, dressing, wound care, or nursing tasks
Regular visits can reduce time alone and add structure to the week
It fits best for older adults who are mostly independent but pulling back from daily life
If hands-on or medical help is needed, other home care services may need to be added

10 Resolutions for Caring for Aging Parents in 2025

As we enter 2025, many of us reflect on our lives and consider New Year’s resolutions that can make a meaningful difference. For those who are caregivers to aging parents, this is also an opportunity to set intentions that enhance the well-being of our loved ones and protect our own physical, emotional, and mental health. Below are 10 actionable resolutions that can help guide caregivers through the year ahead with compassion, resilience, and balance.

1. Prioritize Open Communication

Good communication is at the heart of caregiving. Resolve to foster open, honest, and respectful conversations with your aging parents. Take the time to understand their wishes, fears, and preferences about their health, daily routines, and long-term plans. Active listening can go a long way in building trust and helping them feel involved and empowered in decision-making. It’s the two eyes, two ears, and one mouth rule. Look, listen, and then ask. Respect is key in these conversations.

Alzheimer’s: Support & Advances in Treatment

“There are only four kinds of people in the world.
Those who have been caregivers.
Those who are currently caregivers.
Those who will be caregivers,
and those who will need a caregiver.”

This is the last part in a series to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease. In the previous parts, I reviewed who discovered the disease, Alois Alzheimer, in 1906. I then listed several celebrities who died from it and how to care for someone with the disease. In Part Two, I reviewed symptoms and risk factors that increase the probability of getting the disease, followed by some treatments. Part Three again listed some strategies on caring, the influence of nutrition, and a book to read on ways to put into practice talking to and caring for someone with the disease.

In this final part, I will list some resources you can access as a caregiver to help on this journey. I will also list some newer treatments and point you to other ongoing research to look into and keep up to date. So, let’s start.

Alzheimer’s: Strategies, Nutrition, Book Recommendation

Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease can be challenging, both emotionally and physically. However, with the right approach and support, you can provide comfort, understanding, and maintain their dignity. In this part of raising awareness of the disease, I explore strategies and tips to help you navigate the complexities of caregiving for individuals with Alzheimer’s.

Here are some suggestions about how to care for someone.

1. Enhance Communication

Effective communication is crucial when interacting with someone with Alzheimer’s disease. Here are some tips to enhance communication:

– Maintain eye contact and use a calm and reassuring tone.
– Speak slowly and clearly, giving the person time to process your words.
– Use simple and concise sentences, avoiding complex or abstract concepts.
– Pay attention to non-verbal cues and body language, as they may provide important clues about their feelings or needs.

Alzheimer’s: Symptoms, Risk Factors, Treatments

This is the second post to raise awareness during National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. In the first post, I reviewed the types of Alzheimer’s disease, listed some notable celebrities who have died from it, and gave a brief description of how to care for a loved one with the disease.

Some of you know this disease too well, either by directly caring for someone who has it or seeing its effects on others. Either way, it isn’t easy to experience. As mentioned in part one, my wife and I have had two of our parents with the disease, and my hope is to raise awareness of what actually happens to someone who has the condition and what you can do to prepare yourself to provide care for that person or support those that are caring for their loved one.

Alzheimer’s: History, Celebrities, Caregiving

My Mom had Alzheimer’s disease starting in her late 70’s and progressively worsened until she passed away at 95. As a family we didn’t recognize the disease until it was obvious that something was wrong. This is how many realize that a parent or loved one has the disease. Through the years we discovered what we could and couldn’t do to help Mom and ourselves to work through the disease.

Given that November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, I wanted to provide you with an understanding of what it is and how to love someone through the journey. This is not an attempt to give you detailed information on all aspects of the disease, for that I would recommend the Alzheimer’s Association as the authority. I hope this provides a short introduction.

I’ve broken this up into several sections to be posted over the next several weeks.

Loneliness kills. So, don’t let it!

My Dad was in the Army and was one of the thousands that were caught in a bombing raid that ended up killing over 2,400 soldiers and civilians in less than two hours. Most of his fellow soldiers were in their early 20’s, he was 19 years old experiencing being strafed by planes and watching his friends die. 19!

That experience galvanized these men and women into what ended up being a lifelong friendship. My Dad was the State Chairman of a national survivors group and kept in touch with over 400 of them regularly. I can recall some epic parties with hundreds of families in our back yard under a tent, think Octoberfest. They started on Thursday and ended late Sunday afternoon. There was a lot of beer, food, and music, but also games for the children, did I mention there was beer? We had some great summers.
