The Relational Approach: In Seniors' Care16 Jan 2024

The Empathy Exchange: Navigating the Senior Care Maze: Hard Lessons, Insights, and Tips from a Resilient Family Member

In this episode I chat with Sandra Boyd about her experience navigating Retirement and Assisted Living with her parents and in-laws. We dive into the ups and downs of her family’s journey, with Sandra bringing in both personal and business perspectives. Sandra shares practical insights based on her experience. She talks about what went well, what could have been better, and how care providers can learn from it all – the challenges, the missed chances for building relationships, and the positive impacts they can make.

For family members dealing with similar situations, Sandra offers straightforward advice to help you navigate your caregiving journey more successfully.

Join us for a down-to-earth conversation about the realities of seniors’ care, packed with valuable takeaways from a family who’s been through it.
