32. Senior Living Secrets Part 2: What to Watch After Your Elderly Parent Moves In (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your parent just moved into assisted living. You exhaled. And then you realized nobody told you what happens next. Who manages the medications? What are those bed rails actually for? What does a blood clot look like in an elderly person and when do you call 911? The move is just the beginning of a different kind of watching. In part two, Cassandra Plaisir, a registered nurse and ALF consultant with 18 years in long-term care and regulatory compliance, walks us through what daughters need to know
31. Senior Living Secrets: What They Won't Tell You Before You Choose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you're staring down the decision to move your mom or dad into senior living, nobody warns you about the stuff that actually matters. Nobody tells you what bedrails are for, who handles diabetic management and insulin, or what happens if your parent needs colostomy care, catheter care, or help with basic ADLs like bathing, dressing, and grooming. You just know you're scared, you feel guilty, and you don't know what questions to even ask. That's why I sat down with Cassandra Plaisir, a register
30. When Your Elderly Parent Says "I'm Ready to Check Out" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your 90 year old mom looks at you and says it plainly. "I'm tired and I'm ready to check out." What do you even say back? Most families never get this far. They avoid the conversation altogether, or they only have it in the middle of a crisis, guessing at what their parent really wants because nobody asked while there was still time. That's exactly the gap today's guests spend their careers closing. Dr. Gary Lee, a hospice and palliative care physician, and Pastor Larry Wildemuth, a hospital cha
29. Aging Parent, Far Away Daughter: Where to Start on Their Affairs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"I'm feeling a bit more empowered now." That's what my client told me after our coaching call. Her mom lives alone in France while she is in Canada. Like a lot of daughters watching a parent age from far away, she came into the call thinking distance meant she couldn't really help. This episode is that actual coaching call. We work through what questions to ask a parent who insists she's fine, what you can realistically do from thousands of miles away, and how to bring up money with siblings wit
28. Hearing Aids for Aging Parents: Is the TV Really Too Loud? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is your parent's TV always too loud? Do they say "what?" more than they used to? Hearing loss in elderly parents is one of those things everyone notices and nobody wants to talk about, until it can't be ignored anymore. In this episode I get personal about my own two ear surgeries and what it finally took to get my own mom tested. So what's the real difference between an amplifier and a hearing aid, and which one should you actually start with? I break down the options, the costs, and the one si
