In this episode, we dive into one of the most important—and often confusing—decisions many families face: choosing the right care setting for an aging loved one. What’s the real difference between assisted living, a nursing home, and aging at home with support? We break it all down: the level of care, costs, independence, safety considerations, and how to know what’s right for your situation. Whether you’re planning for your own future or helping a parent or relative, this conversation will give you the clarity and confidence you need to take the next step.
