The holiday season is the perfect time to check in on the older Australians in your life. But how do you spot the signs they might need extra help—and how do you start that difficult conversation without stripping away their independence?

In this essential episode, Danni, Giselle, and Giovanni share a proactive guide for family carers:

• Spotting the Signs: Learn the subtle indicators of decline, from changes in the fridge and mobility, to issues with medication safety (like knowing when to get a Webster Pak from your pharmacist).
• The Empowerment Conversation: We tackle the tough talks—like the fear of driving or accepting domestic help. Discover how to reframe support as the key strategy for achieving their goal of staying safe in their own home.
• Next Steps: Get practical guidance on where to start, including how to register with My Aged Care and the crucial questions to ask when choosing a reliable, quality local provider.

Listen now to gain the confidence, clarity, and support needed to navigate the complexities of aged care this festive season.
