Certified Home Nursing Solutions Urges Communities to Respect Culture in Care

Home Care Provider Highlights the Role of Cultural Sensitivity in Supporting Seniors and People with Disabilities

EDGEWOOD, MD / ACCESS Newswire / September 26, 2025 /Certified Home Nursing Solutions was recently featured in an in-depth interview that explored their journey, lessons, and outlook on personalised care. Founders Tasha Brown and Adrius King used the platform to call for greater awareness of cultural sensitivity in home care and to encourage communities to support seniors and individuals with disabilities by respecting their backgrounds.

"We saw our own family members get care that felt too clinical," Brown shared. "Nobody asked about their routines, their food, or their faith. We wanted to change that."

Why Cultural Sensitivity Matters

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that over 40% of Americans identify with a racial or ethnic group other than white. As the population ages, care providers are serving an increasingly diverse group of clients. By 2030, one in five Americans will be over 65, many of whom will rely on home-based support.

Ignoring cultural traditions can cause mistrust, poor nutrition, or non-compliance with care plans. Brown recalled a client who avoided meals until the team learned the food conflicted with her religion. "We changed the menu, and she started eating again. It was a small shift that made a huge difference," she said.

King added, "We 've seen clients thrive when their culture and routines are respected. It 's not complicated-it 's just listening and adjusting."

Challenges and Lessons

The interview also highlighted early struggles. The team expanded too quickly in their first years and strained their staff. "We stretched thin," Brown admitted. "It taught us that quality has to come before growth."

Despite setbacks, their focus on respect and listening built trust with families. Simple adjustments-like moving group activities to the afternoon for a retired teacher who preferred quiet mornings-boosted participation and well-being.

What Communities Can Do

Certified Home Nursing Solutions stressed that cultural sensitivity should not rest only on caregivers. Families, neighbours, and community groups can play a role.

Ways to help include:

• Ask seniors about their routines and respect them.

• Share food, music, or traditions that reflect their culture.

• Adjust community programmes to be more inclusive.

• Support employers who provide opportunities for people with disabilities.

"Care doesn 't stop at the front door," King explained. "Community is part of it. When neighbours and local groups get involved, clients feel more connected and supported."

Looking Forward

With the senior population rising, the call for personalised, culturally sensitive care is urgent. The team believes communities that embrace diversity will see healthier, happier people.

"It 's simple," Brown concluded. "Ask, listen, and adjust. That 's the future of care."
