Family & Nursing Care was recently featured in Home Health Care News for our ongoing commitment to supporting and empowering family caregivers — a vital but often overlooked part of the care team that helps older adults remain safe and comfortable at home.
Across the United States, family members are playing an increasingly important role in caregiving. In fact, 63 million people provided care for an adult or a child in 2025, according to data from AARP and the National Alliance for Caregiving. As more families take on these responsibilities, home care companies are finding new ways to engage and educate them — ensuring families have the knowledge, tools, and confidence to provide quality care.
In the article, “Home-Based Care Companies Improve Outcomes By Training Family Caregivers,” Kelly Salb, Vice President of Client Services at Family & Nursing Care, shared how the company helps family caregivers navigate both the emotional and practical aspects of providing care.
“We help educate them on [specific] diagnosis that their loved one might have,” Salb told Home Health Care News. “Our RN team does a really good job with that, and our client services team. We help educate them on programs such as hospice, and even create or schedule a meet and greet with hospice agencies, because a lot of times, these family caregivers don’t know what they have as tools.”
Family & Nursing Care takes a personalized approach to every family situation, helping caregivers feel supported at every step. Whether it’s explaining care plans, connecting them to community resources, or simply being a compassionate listening ear, the company recognizes that caring for a loved one is multi-faceted.
“We also engage in any conversation about what’s going on,” Salb said. “Obviously, they’re really dealing with the emotional sense of taking care of someone on top of the practical tasks.”
Salb also highlighted the importance of recognizing family caregivers as essential partners in home care: “I don’t think any company could be successful without acknowledging the role of the family caregiver.”
