How to Plan Senior Care Without Breaking the Bank

As parents age, many of us find ourselves stepping into a new role: caregiver, advocate, and decision-maker. In this heartfelt and highly practical episode, Deb Meyer is joined by Erin Dwyer-Busch, elder care consultant and owner of the St. Louis location of Senior Care Authority. Erin shares her personal journey from pediatric speech therapist to trusted advisor for families navigating the complex world of senior care.

Whether you're concerned about a parent's driving, exploring assisted living options, or unsure how to start the conversation about long-term care, Erin brings expert insights. This is a must-listen for parents who want to care for their own children while supporting aging loved ones, without compromising financial stability or emotional well-being.
