What makes Lovie Baxter with A Touch of Love Care Home a good neighbor?
Lovie believes no family should feel lost when navigating senior care. In this episode, we sit down with the founder of A Touch of Love Care Home to unpack what truly differentiates residential care homes from assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes—and why finding the right fit can change a family’s life. With clarity and compassion, Lovie explains how smaller, home-based care often provides the dignity, routine, and attention seniors need most.
Bringing 30 years of medical experience to her work, Lovie shares the real markers of quality that go far beyond glossy brochures. We talk about staffing ratios that actually make sense, calm and consistent nighttime coverage, personalized care plans, and the everyday signals that residents are genuinely known—not just managed. She breaks down common myths around “group homes” and explains how residential care homes can better support seniors who need help with daily living but don’t require intensive medical oversight.
You’ll also hear the deeply personal story behind her mission, including operating a care home in her late mother’s house and working alongside her 80-year-old father. Lovie walks through the signs that it may be time to seek support—missed medications, frequent falls, caregiver burnout—and the questions families should ask when touring a care home: How are meals prepared? What is the fall prevention plan? How is communication handled with families? We also explore her education-first approach, from community talks to social media and an upcoming podcast designed to help families make confident decisions before a crisis forces rushed choices.
If you’re weighing care options for a parent, grandparent, or even planning for your future self, this conversation offers practical guidance, reassurance, and hope.
