Welcome to the Senior Caregiver’s Podcast: Caring for Your Aging Parents!
Are you worried about your aging parents? Do you feel they will need to have in-home care, driving assistance, or possibly move into assisted living or a memory care facility in the very near future?
I answer your complex questions about managing dementia symptoms, how to find financial resources to pay for your loved one's care that you may not know about, and how to support your family members' emotional well-being - including how to take care of yourself as a caregiver.
Let's discuss your concerns around caring for your senior parents. It's hard enough to take care of your kids and family in today's world. Then, when you add in nursing care, physical rehabilitation, and looking for a personal assistant or a new housing situation to better suit your parents' needs as they age, you can find yourself frustrated, confused, and unsure of where to start when sorting through the myriad of options available to you and other Gen Xers who are on a similar journey that are seeking long term care for their loved ones.
You'll find the answers to these and other pressing questions about your senior's care on my podcast. How can I manage my own stress and well-being as a caregiver? What resources are available for respite care? How can I find assisted living facilities near me? How can I ensure my loved one's safety at home? When should I consider moving my loved one to a memory care facility? Does long-term care insurance cover assisted living facilities?
What medical treatments and interventions are available for managing dementia symptoms? How can I get a reverse mortgage on my home if I'm a senior or elderly individual who needs to move into an assisted living facility? How can I foster connections with my loved ones despite their cognitive decline? What benefits are offered for aging Veterans? How do I support my loved one's emotional well-being? What strategies can I use to manage challenging behaviors? Where can I find support and connect with other dementia caregivers?
