If you have aging parents like I do, no doubt the topic of “aging-in-place” vs. moving to a “community” has come up. Maybe it’s a topic they don’t want to talk about or haven’t even thought about. Listen as Julie and Kirsten break down how to have these conversations and what to look for as you assess options with your parents.

You’ll love Julie’s positive outlook and nuggets of wisdom that will help you remove the stress and get to the right solution for your family.

We touch on: using the “Spoons Theory” to maximize quality of life; how to avoid being one incident away from a crisis; when to advocate for outside assistance and how to justify the financial investment; tips for having “the car key conversation”; strategies for keeping older adults safe in their home with medication management tips; how to use “Voice 7” to gain acceptance for new ideas and care strategies; and how to plan ahead to avoid a "no decision" decision.
