Kore Cares is excited to share information about this years Aging Well Workshops! This is a three-part educational series presented by North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension and South Dakota State University (SDSU) Extension. During this series educators will address important, real-life topics that can impact the aging population, caregivers and families.
Read MoreWhen a parent begins to need ongoing care, the change rarely arrives all at once. It often starts subtly—a missed appointment, a forgotten medication, a fall that takes longer to recover from. Over time, what was once a parent-led household begins to reorganize itself around new needs. And with that reorganization comes a profound shift in family roles.
Read MoreFor millions of people, caregiving is a quiet constant—woven into daily routines alongside work meetings, deadlines, and personal responsibilities. Whether caring for an aging parent, a child with special needs, or a loved one managing a chronic condition, caregivers often find themselves juggling multiple roles at once. At Kore Cares, we understand that balance isn’t about doing everything yourself—it’s about having the right support in place.
Read MoreFew conversations are harder than questioning a parent’s independence—especially when it comes to driving. For many older adults, driving represents freedom, dignity, and control.
Read MoreKore Cares recently had the opportunity to be featured on KELOLAND Living, where our team shared helpful insights for individuals and families exploring home care options. The segment focused on who we are, the services we provide, and how families can feel confident when choosing a home care agency.
Read MoreThe holidays are often a time for family gatherings, shared meals, and meaningful moments together. For many families, it’s also one of the few times each year when everyone is under the same roof. While these visits are joyful, they can also reveal subtle — or not-so-subtle — changes in a loved one’s health or daily functioning that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Read MoreThe Kore Cares Madison team recently gathered for an evening of celebration, connection, and community at the Madison Chamber event—an evening made even more special by the nomination of one of our own, Lisa, for Employee of the Year.

Read MoreCaring for a loved one is one of the most meaningful acts of love and responsibility—but what happens when distance makes it harder to help day to day? Whether it’s a few hours’ drive or several states away, long-distance caregiving can be challenging. Fortunately, with planning, communication, and the right local support, families can still ensure their loved ones receive quality, compassionate care at home.
Read MoreHospital stays can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. For many patients—especially seniors or those with chronic health conditions—returning home marks a critical phase in recovery. However, statistics show that a significant number of patients end up back in the hospital within 30 days of discharge. These readmissions not only impact the patient’s health but also increase healthcare costs and strain families. At Kore Cares, we believe that quality home care can make all the difference in preventing readmissions and supporting a safer, healthier recovery at home.
Read MoreAs we age, daily activities like bathing, using the toilet, or stepping in and out of the shower can become hazardous. The bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the home for seniors due to wet, slippery surfaces and limited mobility. However, many injuries and even serious accidents can be prevented with thoughtful modifications. Here’s a guide to essential changes that promote safety, independence, and peace of mind.
Read MoreAs we age, our homes become not just places of comfort, but the heart of our independence. But fire risks remain real, especially for older adults who may have reduced mobility, sensory limitations, or rely on assistive devices. This blog offers practical steps seniors and caregivers can take to reduce fire risk — plus how Kore Cares supports safety, wellness, and peace of mind.
Read MoreThe role of a caregiver is often unsung yet essential, especially in today’s evolving home care industry. In an exciting and heartwarming recognition, Sylvia and Lilly, two of our dedicated caregivers, have been nominated for the 2025 National Caregiver of the Year Award by the Home Care Association of America (HCAOA).
Read MoreAs the leaves change and the air turns crisp, autumn brings its beauty, and for many older adults, an increased risk of falls. The South Dakota Fall Prevention Coalition emphasizes that falls are not just “accidents,” but events that many people can do something to prevent. To help keep older adults safer and more independent is the heart of their mission.
Read MoreAs the crisp fall air settles in, it also signals the start of flu season. For seniors, flu prevention is especially important—aging immune systems can make it harder to fight off illnesses, and flu-related complications are more common in older adults. The good news is that with some preparation and extra support, seniors can stay healthier and more comfortable throughout the season.
Read MoreAs summer winds down and the pace of life picks up again, fall often brings new routines. Kids head back to school, work schedules get busier, and the holiday season slowly comes into view. For family caregivers, this shift can be especially challenging. Balancing caregiving responsibilities with daily life can feel overwhelming, but with the right support—such as the in-home services offered by Kore Cares—caregivers don’t have to do it all alone.
Read MoreChoosing the right home care provider is one of the most important decisions families can make. Whether it’s for a senior loved one, an adult living with a disability, or someone recovering from an illness, home care should provide peace of mind, not added stress. But with so many options available, how can you tell if a provider is trustworthy?
Read MoreA safe home doesn’t just happen by accident—it takes regular attention and care. Seasonal changes bring different challenges, especially in fall and winter when shorter days, icy conditions, and holiday clutter can increase risks. Taking time each season to do a safety inspection helps prevent falls, accidents, and emergencies before they happen.
Read MoreStaying active is essential at every age, but for seniors and individuals with limited mobility, it can be challenging to maintain a routine of daily movement. Whether due to health conditions, physical limitations, or fear of falling, many people begin to lead increasingly sedentary lives—often leading to a decline in overall well-being. That’s where in-home caregivers can make a meaningful difference.
