About this listen

Host Nadia Gilkes reflects on the Emma and Bruce Willis documentary to explore real-life caregiving challenges. She covers three key takeaways: the high monetary and emotional costs of care, where to find practical resources, and how to accept help and decide about long-term care or moving a loved one.

The episode offers concrete suggestions—assess care needs and hourly costs, build a support plan, consider creative staffing or paid caregiver programs, and plan for facility transitions when necessary—while urging caregivers to practice self-care and involve family in planning.
