Home Instead

10/30/2026

Tomorrow brings costumes, constant doorbells, and plenty of excitement. That’s fun for most of us, but it can be confusing or stressful for seniors, especially those living with dementia.

If you have an older loved one at home, a few small steps can help:

🎃 Turn on porch and walkway lights to reduce trip hazards
🎃 Clear decorations, cords, and pumpkins from steps
🎃 Put a bowl of candy outside, or a “No candy, thank you” sign, if the doorbell causes anxiety
🎃 Keep their routine as normal as possible, including dinner and bedtime
🎃 Check in by phone or stop by if they’ll be home alone

A little planning can let everyone enjoy the night.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Home Instead Bensalem! 🧡

What does non-medical home care actually do?

A nurse or therapist might be in a patient’s home for an hour or two. The other 160+ hours of the week, someone still needs to be there.

That’s where non-medical home care fits. It doesn’t replace home health, hospice, or a physician’s care. It supports them by helping with the everyday things that keep someone safe and comfortable at home:

- Companionship and supervision
- Bathing, dressing, and personal care
- Meal preparation and light housekeeping
- Medication reminders
- Transportation to appointments
- Respite for family caregivers who need a break

Care plans often work better when clinical care and daily support are coordinated. Reliable help between visits can mean fewer missed meals, a lower risk of falls, and less stress for families.

If you’re a family member, or a provider whose patients need support between visits, we’re glad to talk through what that could look like. Home Instead Bensalem serves Bucks County and Northeast Philadelphia.

🏡✨ We're excited about Home Instead's partnership with Drew & Jonathan Scott, the Property Brothers ✨🏡

Creating a safer home doesn't always require a major renovation. Sometimes, the smallest changes can make the biggest difference.

Simple updates like improved lighting, removing trip hazards, and creating clear pathways can help older adults remain safe, independent, and comfortable in the place they love most: home.

Through this exciting collaboration, we're sharing practical tips and resources to help families prepare their homes for the years ahead.

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.

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.
