Episode 12: When Is It Time to Intervene? Managing a Move & Caregiving

When is “I’m fine” no longer fine for an aging parent or loved one? Judy and Jess sit down with aging life care manager Jennifer Szakaly and senior move manager Cindy Greer to talk frankly about when to step in, when to move, and what it really costs- emotionally and financially. They dig into caregiving crossroads, aging in place vs. assisted living, solo agers, Medicaid realities, family conflict, and downsizing a lifetime of “stuff.” If you’re caring for parents, aging solo, or finally asking “What’s my plan?,” this episode will nudge you out of denial and into action.
