💬Having “the talk” about home care isn’t easy — but it’s one of the most important conversations you can have.

When you start noticing changes in your loved one, bringing up the topic early can make all the difference. Sit down face-to-face, come prepared with questions, and most importantly — listen. 💙

Sometimes, all it takes is trying care for a week to realize how much support can help both of you.
