The Future of Senior Care in North County with Liam Dunfey of Assisting Hands

In this episode of Carlsbad: People, Purpose and Impact, Bret Schanzenbach welcomes Liam Dunfey, President of Assisting Hands of Carlsbad, for a thoughtful conversation about aging, caregiving, and the resources available to families across North County.Liam shares his journey from Massachusetts to California and how a career in fundraising and healthcare led him into the aging services field. After 15 years of working with older adults in a variety of leadership roles, he made the leap into business ownership to help more seniors remain safely and comfortably in their homes.Together, Bret and Liam discuss what non-medical home care really means, why companionship is such an important part of caregiving, and how services like help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication reminders can preserve dignity and quality of life for older adults.They also talk about common myths surrounding hospice, the emotional realities families face when dementia and Alzheimer’s enter the picture, and how many people are unaware of the local, state, federal, and veteran-related resources that may be available to help.This episode is a valuable listen for anyone caring for aging parents, planning ahead for a loved one, or simply wanting to better understand the growing senior care landscape in Carlsbad and beyond.🎧 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your shows!
