Executive Home Care of Richmond Honors Local Caregiver for Exceptional Dementia Care

RICHMOND, Va. – June 24, 2026 - In recognition of Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, Executive Home Care of Richmond has honored local caregiver Lori Blacknell with a Loved01 Cares "Live Like a Legend" Caregiver Gift Set for her outstanding dedication to individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

Blacknell was selected for the recognition based on her compassionate approach to caregiving and her commitment to helping clients maintain safety, dignity and quality of life while navigating the challenges of memory loss.

The recognition is part of a nationwide caregiver appreciation initiative through Loved01 Cares, a program dedicated to supporting and celebrating caregivers who make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Executive Home Care locations across the country are participating in the initiative during Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month.

"Lori represents the very best of what caregiving is all about," said Tim Hayes, owner of Executive Home Care of Richmond. "She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients and their families. Her patience, compassion and unwavering commitment provide comfort not only to those receiving care but also to the loved ones who trust her with their family members."

According to the Alzheimer's Association, more than 11 million Americans provide unpaid care for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. Professional caregivers also play a critical role in helping families manage the physical and emotional challenges associated with cognitive decline.

Throughout her time with Executive Home Care of Richmond, Blacknell has earned praise from clients and families for her reliability, attentiveness and positive attitude. She is known for remaining close by to provide reassurance and support while ensuring her clients' safety and well-being.

"Caregivers often work quietly behind the scenes, making an enormous impact on the lives of others," Hayes said. "This recognition is a small way to thank Lori for the difference she makes every day."
