Can seniors really age in place safely in DeSoto County? Today on Southaven Business Beat, we sit down with Mika Brown, the new franchise owner of Home Instead, to discuss the growing need for non-medical home care and how her background as a Physical Therapist is changing the way we care for our seniors.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How to access VA Home Care Benefits for veterans in Mississippi.
• The reality of transitioning from a clinician to a small business owner.
• What "Activities of Daily Living" (ADLs) are and how they help seniors stay independent.
• How to find and vet high-quality caregivers you can trust.
