November is National Family Caregivers Month!Join us for this fabulous conversation with Star Bradbury, author of Successfully Navigating Your Parents' Senior Years - Critical information to maximize their independence and make sure they get the care they need.Star talks about making a plan, broaching sensitive subjects, holding family meetings, dealing with dissenting opinions, and so much more! None of us want to think about our parents' (or our own!) long-term care and lack of independence, but if you plan early and have open, honest conversations, you can avoid the trauma of having to make decisions during a crisis! 00:02:44 Developing a plan for long-term care.00:05:15 Approach sensitive topics with loved ones.00:08:15 Mom's experience with stepdad's decline, burial planned.00:10:20 Principle 1: Maximize parents' and seniors' independence.00:13:55 Helping others in need while maintaining independence.00:17:44 Caregiver burnout can be prevented - prioritize self-care.00:21:30 Eye contact, physical presence crucial in caregiving.00:25:25 Colleagues offer generational wisdom, happier social environment.00:28:47 Reevaluate and change senior plan with support.00:32:22 Love story, 3-5 year plan, retirement challenges.00:34:11 Ensure your home is safe and connected.00:37:58 Long-term care insurance is exciting and freeing.00:40:39 35% off book for National Family Caregivers Month.00:44:27 Contact info in show description, talk next week.Connect With Star Bradbury-November Book Deal: Save 35% in November -Use CAREGIVER at checkouthttps://starbradbury.com/november-is-national-family-caregivers-month/Resources available here: https://starbradbury.com/resources/Stay Connected!Amelia Website: https://www.thehelpfulplate.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/thehelpfulplate/ Cam Website: https://www.camoyler.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/heymomma_cam/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heymomma_cam Midlife Mommas IG: https://www.instagram.com/midlife.mommas/ Please share, rate, and review the podcast.
