If you spent time over the holidays with your aging family members-parents or grandparents-you may have noticed that they need a little more help with self-care, hygiene, or simply getting around. Women over 40 generally become the caretakers in this situation and they may not know that options are available to help keep our relatives safely at home as long as possible or know when it's time to consider independent or assisted living.
Alicia Harmon talks with Kim about these options, including respite care that can help keep everyone safe and happy as they age in place. She offers ways to start those tough but necessary conversations that most of us don't really want to have.
These are the links to the resources that Alicia mentions during this conversation. Please share with anyone who may need this information.
