We’re your local source for finding care for your older loved one when you need it. Here are some updates from around town about services, events, and resources that can help you in this season.
November is National Family Caregivers Month. If you’re caring for an older family member, your effort makes a tremendous difference! Remember to take a breath, and check out the many articles we have that can help your situation. If you know someone who is a family caregiver, check out these practical ideas on how you can help and encourage them.
The YMCA of Greater Louisville will soon have some cool new equipment you can try out. In the next month or so, they’ll be installing EGYM Smart Strength equipment, which gives older adults a safer, more personalized way to build strength and stay active. EGYM automatically adjusts each machine to the user’s ideal seat height, resistance, and range of motion, helping you train with proper form and reduced risk of injury. The guided circuit provides a complete full-body workout in about 22 minutes. The YMCA will be the only organization in Louisville offering this smart fitness technology.
Congrats to the local care communities that received high rankings on U.S. News and World Report’s recently released 2026 lists for Best Nursing Homes, Best Senior Living Communities, Best Memory & Dementia Care Facilities, and more. You are working hard to create quality later living options in our area — thank you!
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Eastern Area Community Ministries worked with local Scouts of the Lincoln Heritage Council on their food drive and filled two large pods with food to keep EACM’s pantry stocked for our neighbors. Way to go!
