Hey hey, beautiful souls!
Are you, or someone you know impacted by things gone awry in a care home or assisted living setting?
In today’s heartfelt episode, I’m sharing a powerful, personal story about my experience as a caregiver for my beautiful Mama —and using it to spotlight a widespread issue in eldercare: the caregiver turnover crisis and its real impact on our loved ones.
This episode is for family caregivers, dementia advocates, care home employees, and anyone navigating the complex world of assisted living, memory care, or aging parent support. I walk you through lived examples of being a family advocate on the receiving end of the wounded eldercare system and how it reflects a larger pattern I hear from families and caregivers around the country.
You’ll hear:
- Why caregiver burnout and high staff turnover are signs of deeper systemic problems
- The must-ask questions when choosing an assisted living or care home
- How to advocate when something feels “off” with your loved one
- Why leadership training and staff caregiver SUPPORT must be a priority in care homes
- How in-person support can make a huge difference in our loved ones’ health and joy
This is not about placing blame...
✨💛 ✨It’s about shining a light on eldercare reform, sharing my story as an example, and offering soul-fueled, research-backed ways to do better—for caregivers, for residents, and for the families who love them.✨💛 ✨
This is the first in a series of episodes that will bring practical tools, caregiver education, emotional support, and advocacy strategies to the forefront.
✨💛 ✨ If you are a caregiver or concerned family member, you are not alone—and your voice matters!!! ✨💛 ✨
✨💛 ✨It is time we rise, and it is time we RISE TOGETHER! ✨💛✨
