Having "the conversation" about care doesn't have to feel overwhelming and knowing where to start can make it easier for everyone 💚

Here’s some key conversation starters to help:
👉 "I want to make sure you feel safe and independent for as long as possible"
👉 "What does 'aging in place' look like to you?"
👉 "How can we work together to plan for the future?"

Remember, the goal isn't to have all the answers in one conversation. It's about opening the door to ongoing talks built on respect, love and their preferences 💚

Ready to explore care options that honor their independence? We're here to help navigate this journey together 🙌

When “let’s talk” feels like too much, start small.
In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn sits down with Amy Friesen, eldercare expert and author of Breadcrumbs, to explore why families avoid planning conversations—and how to gently start them.

Amy shares why it's rarely a one-time talk, how professionals can help ease tension, and why sometimes the message lands better when it doesn’t come from you.

When Thao walks into the room, a veteran with advanced Parkinson’s — mostly nonverbal — lights up and says, “There’s my angel.”
Thao Nguyen, a Care Pro with Home Instead, doesn’t just show up. She brings music. She brings home-cooked Vietnamese meals. She brings peace of mind.

Originally from Vietnam, Thao cared for her grandmother and extended family from a young age. That lifelong devotion to elders followed her to the U.S., where a neighbor introduced her to caregiving.

One family loved her cooking so much, they stocked their pantry just so Thao could prepare her signature dishes. Another client requested her by name each week, just to hear her music in the hall.

“I treat them like my own parents,” Thao says. “I love them so much.”

Thank you, Thao, for reminding us that exceptional caregiving isn’t just noticed.

Let this story be a reminder: great care creates connection that lasts.
