It May Not Be Forever: Rethinking Senior Living Decisions - Ep 165
from Desperately Seeking Senior Living · host Valerie Lynn Borgman
Making decisions about senior living can feel overwhelming - especially when you’ve promised a loved one they could stay at home. When care needs change, families often feel rushed, guilty, and afraid that one move means forever. In this episode, I reframe senior living decisions through a gentler, more realistic lens: buying time. I walk through the path most families take - from in-home care to respite or short-term stays - and explain why needing more support doesn’t mean you failed or broke a promise. This conversation is about slowing the moment down, easing the pressure, and remembering that clarity often comes after you give yourself permission to pause.
