GENERAL
Have you ever wondered:
- What will I do if my parents become too sick to care for each other?
- Are maintenance issues at my parent’s house becoming too much for them to handle?
- My last conversation with Mom about her doctor’s appointment didn’t make sense to me. Did she understand was what said?
These questions lead to a larger question: What am supposed to be looking for as my parents or other loved ones age?

The first podcast, a general podcast, is for people who are starting on the caregiving journey, sense that that the journey is just around the corner, or know caregiving is in their future.
