Episode 41 – Recognizing the Signs Your Parent Needs More Help

from The Aging Parent Playbook Hosted by Barbara Sparacino MD

How do you know when it’s really time to step in with your parent? In this episode, I share the subtle and sometimes not so subtle signs that your mom or dad may need extra support. We’ll talk about how to notice these changes early, how to bring them up without creating conflict, and small steps you can take that protect both safety and dignity. It’s a compassionate, down-to-earth guide for anyone walking that delicate line between caring and overstepping.
