October was a busy and exciting month for the Overture Home Care team! Our staff was out in the community connecting with partners, attending events, and sharing resources to support seniors and their families. From educational presentations to fun fall festivities, we loved every opportunity to engage with others who share our commitment to compassionate, quality care.

A new national report, The Growing Demand for Age-Friendly Care (2024), highlights a powerful shift in American life: we’re living longer than ever before, but not always healthier. The population of adults aged 85 and older is the fastest-growing group in the country, and many are living with chronic conditions, mobility challenges, or memory loss that affect their daily lives far beyond what a doctor’s appointment can address.

Overture Home Care is honored to once again support the Fort Worth Walk to End Alzheimer’s, joining thousands of participants dedicated to finding a cure and supporting families impacted by this devastating disease.

This year marks Alex Helms’ second year serving as Co-Walk Chair, and we are proud to have her representing both Overture and our community in this meaningful role. As Overture’s Area Business Development Manager, Alex brings passion, leadership, and a deep sense of purpose to the cause—motivated by the many individuals and families we’ve had the privilege to serve who are living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.

Ask Me 3® is a simple tool developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to help you better understand your medical treatments and care plans. If you would like a paper copy of the brochure, ask your Overture caregiver to provide one for you.

September was full of energy, connection, and community spirit for the Overture Home Care team! From educational events to seasonal celebrations, our month was packed with opportunities to engage, support, and celebrate alongside our incredible partners and older adults across Fort Worth and Dallas.

When it comes to supporting an aging loved one at home, families in Fort Worth and Dallas often hear two terms that sound alike but mean very different things: home care and home health. Understanding the difference is key to choosing the right kind of help for your family.

August was an incredible month for the Overture Home Care team, filled with celebrations, community outreach, and meaningful connections. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to:

This month marks an incredible milestone – 10 years of Overture Home Care. Since opening our doors in 2015, the company Rob and Denise Helms created has grown from a small team with a big dream to a company of more than 400 dedicated employees serving older adults and families throughout Fort Worth and Dallas.

As families navigate the challenges of caring for older adults, questions often arise: How do we make decisions that honor our loved one’s wishes? How do we balance safety with independence? The Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) movement offers a framework to answer these questions. A recent family story shows how it can make all the difference, and how Nurse Practitioners (NPs) play a vital role in putting this approach into practice at home.

July was a busy and fulfilling month for the Overture Home Care team! We stayed active in the community, celebrated with friends and partners, and continued growing both professionally and personally. Here’s a look at where we’ve been this month:

June has been full of meaningful moments, heartfelt celebrations, and community connection for the Overture Home Care team. From honoring caregivers and sponsoring special events to participating in Alzheimer’s advocacy and community wellness, we’ve been proud to stay active and engaged with the people and places we serve. Here's a look at what we've been up to this month!

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Kate Taylor to the Overture Home Care team!

Dr. Taylor is a certified family nurse practitioner and a former Army Nurse Corps officer with over 28 years of healthcare experience. She brings extraordinary expertise in geriatric care, patient safety, and interprofessional healthcare education.

At Overture Home Care, we believe that compassionate care begins with understanding—and June offers a powerful opportunity to do just that. Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month is a time to shine a light on the importance of brain health, raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, and honor the millions of families affected by these conditions.

At Overture Home Care, Father’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a meaningful moment to honor the men who have given us strength, wisdom, and love throughout the years. Whether they are dads, grandfathers, uncles, or father figures, we recognize the role they’ve played in shaping families and communities with patience, courage, and devotion.

May was packed with sunshine, celebrations, education, and community connection! From Cinco de Mayo festivities to Nurses Week appreciation, our Overture Home Care team was everywhere this month—partnering with local communities, supporting our colleagues, and spreading care across North Texas. Here’s a look at where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to:

Mother’s Day is a special time of year when we pause to honor the remarkable women who have nurtured us, guided us, and filled our lives with unconditional love. Whether they are our mothers, grandmothers, or beloved mother figures, their presence—and even their memory—continues to shape who we are in profound ways.

At Overture Home Care, we are privileged to witness firsthand the deep bonds between mothers and their families. Every day, we see the strength, grace, and resilience of women who have spent a lifetime caring for others. On Mother’s Day and throughout the month of May, we encourage families to celebrate the incredible women in their lives in meaningful and personal ways.

April was full of meaningful connections, community support, and joyful moments here at Overture Home Care! As a private home care agency dedicated to serving older adults, we’re proud to be out and about—partnering with local organizations, attending special events, and bringing a little extra cheer wherever we go. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to this month:

Overture Home Care was proud to attend and support the United Methodist Women’s April Luncheon, The Dementia Journey: Love Remembers, held on Tuesday, April 1, at First United Methodist Church Fort Worth.

From Mardi Gras festivities to St. Patrick’s Day parties, and everything in between, here's a look back at some of the fantastic events we were fortunate to be a part of.

As we age, our homes should continue to be a place where we feel safe, secure, and comfortable. But research shows the exact opposite is sometimes true. A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found 28.7% of adults over the age of 65 reported falling at least once in the last 12 months.  Another study by the Hospital for Special Surgery found over 60% of falls happen in the home  to help prevent falls and other accidents, you can make safety modifications to your environment and eliminate common hazards.
