from Senior Safety Advice

Many caregivers and older adults fear that setting boundaries will damage relationships. But in this episode, Esther Kane, retired Occupational Therapist, CAPS, and Dementia Care Specialist, explains why healthy boundaries often strengthen relationships instead of hurting them. Esther shares practical examples from real caregiving situations and discusses how boundaries can reduce resentment, prevent burnout, improve communication, and protect emotional well-being for both caregivers and older adults. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt while trying to protect your time, energy, or mental health, this episode offers calm, supportive guidance to help you rethink boundaries in a healthier way.
