Welcome to News and Resources, the official blog of Jean Whatley’s Home Health! Whether you’re just beginning your caregiving journey or you’re a seasoned pro looking for extra support, we’re so glad you’re here. This blog is our way of connecting with you, sharing practical advice, and providing a little encouragement on those tougher days.
Caregiving can be as challenging as it is rewarding, but you don’t have to go it alone. Think of News and Resources as your caring companion, offering guidance, resources, and even a few laughs along the way.
Why We Created News and Resources
At Jean Whatley’s Home Health, we understand the emotional and physical demands of caregiving. Research shows:
- 53% of caregivers report declining health (National Alliance for Caregiving, 2020)
- 40% experience depression (Family Caregiver Alliance, 2022)
- 72% don’t see doctors regularly due to caregiving demands (AARP, 2021)
We started this blog to give you evidence-based tools and emotional support to navigate these challenges while caring for yourself too.

This isn’t just another blog. It’s a research-backed resource built with love:
