February 16 is National Caregivers Day, and we can’t think of a better way to honor the day than by getting up close and personal with some of our own Overture Home Care caregivers.

The Texas Health and Human Services Home and Community Support Services Agencies (HCSSA) just completed an intensive, week-long annual certification survey at Overture Home Care and found our agency to be 100% compliant!

Each new year brings advances in senior health and support technology, but also advances in the technology and methods of the scammers and identity thieves targeting our senior loved ones. As they are less familiar with modern technology, seniors are often the targets of fraudsters seeking to exploit unprotected information.

Happy New Year and welcome to the Overture Home Care 2023 Year in Review! We had an exciting time last year, full of milestones, educational excellence, and heart-warming achievements.

The holidays are a cherished time for family activities, thoughtful gifts, and essential visits for your older loved ones. Please join us now in embracing the season's joy while ensuring the well-being and independence of your senior family members by reviewing a few suggestions from your friends at Overture Home Care.

The holidays are here, and the Overture Home Care elves have been busy! Here are a few of the behind-the-scenes activities, events, seminars, conferences, and training sessions we have been part of since our last update

November is National Family Caregivers Month. According to a National Alliance for Caregiving / AARP study, about 34.2 million Americans provide unpaid care to a senior adult every year. At Overture Home Care, it is our mission to provide support for those family caregivers as they work tirelessly on behalf of their senior loved ones.

It has been an amazing month here at Overture Home Care. Here are a few of the behind-the-scenes activities, events, seminars, conferences, and training sessions we have been part of since our last newsletter!

We are proud to announce our nomination of Overture Home Care caregiver Carolyn Wills for the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA) 2023 Caregiver of the Year Award. 

We’re doing it again! On October 28 in Fort Worth — and November 4 in Dallas — Overture Home Care will be sponsoring and participating in the 2023 Alzheimer's Association® Walk to End Alzheimer's®.

In recognition of this month’s triple whammy of National Depression Screening Day (10/5), World Mental Health Day (10/10) and Mental Illness Awareness Week (10/1–10/7), we want to share with you an important podcast appearance that our CEO Denise Helms, RN, BSN and Senior Vice President Paige Wolk, LBSW, CDP made on the Parent Projects Podcast with Tony Siebers.

The Overture Home Care team was out and about all month in August, bringing insights and information to an important senior care podcast, supplying vital training to a senior community in Dallas, and debuting as a featured small business in the new Southlake & Grapevine Scout Guide.

We are honored to announce that our friends at AGE-u-cate chose to feature Overture Home Care and the work of our dedicated Dementia Live trainers and caregivers in their August 3, 2023 blog post, Unlocking Empathy and Understanding: Empowering Caregivers to Make a Profound Impact by Cris Castellano:

Our older loved ones are particularly at risk from the scams and frauds initiated by those emails, as many seniors control readily available funds, trust institutions that appear legitimate, and have little knowledge of technology and current scams. According to the FBI Elder Fraud information page our elderly population suffers more than $3 billion in losses to fraud annually.

This month we are thrilled to join the Alzheimer’s Association in celebrating the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) action to grant traditional approval of Leqembi® (lecanemab) for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease with confirmation of elevated amyloid beta.

This February, we were thrilled to bring Julie Mercer into the Overture Home Care family as our new Overture Home Care Dallas Community Liaison.

Every year, we are proud to join the Alzheimer’s Association® in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by sponsoring The Longest Day fundraising and educational events around the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.

During National High Blood Pressure Education Month this May, let’s all give thanks for the humble blood pressure cuff and the essential health care insights it provides!
