This much-requested episode tackles the emotional and practical challenges of taking care of aging parents. Joined by Betsy and Chris Head from Karis Care Services, we explore how their organization supports families by providing a range of services, from companionship to full personal care. They share valuable insights on maintaining the independence of aging loved ones at home and enhancing their quality of life. We also discuss the overwhelming feelings of guilt that many family caregivers experience and how professional services can help alleviate these burdens.
We discuss the reluctance of older adults to accept help and the critical importance of consistent care and social interaction. I share personal anecdotes about my own mother's resistance to home care and the steps we took to ensure her safety. Additionally, we address the current challenges in recruiting compassionate caregivers and emphasize that while formal training is beneficial, the right attitude and dedication are paramount. This episode offers heartfelt advice and practical solutions for anyone navigating the complexities of caring for aging parents.
