About this listen
In this episode, we’re diving into the emotional and logistical rollercoaster of finding the right care home for our mom. We break down the differences between assisted living and memory care, share what we looked for during our search, and talk through the tricky realities of cost, Medicaid, and what no one really prepares you for. If you’re in the middle of this process—or know you might be someday—we’re here to help you feel a little more informed and a lot less alone.
