Manage episode 479039912 series 3478415
Looking after an aging loved one can present financial and emotional challenges. Anticipating the potential future costs and expecting that there will likely be complicated emotions in caregiving can help you prepare and plan for the day-to-day responsibilities. In this episode of Money and Mindset With Bright and Brian, our hosts sit down with Brian Levy, chief relationship officer for Manchester Care Homes and Cambridge Caregivers, to discuss strategies caregivers can use to plan ahead and better handle the complexities of changing family dynamics.
This episode also includes information on:
• How to have difficult conversations with aging loved ones
• How to determine the level of care a loved one may need
• Tips caregivers can follow to help mitigate the stress and worry
“It is emotionally challenging, and it’s extremely stressful to have these conversations with your parents, who don’t want to talk about it at all. And you just have to keep reminding them that it’s for their best benefit to keep them healthy and safe.”
—Brian Levy, chief relationship officer, Manchester Care Homes and Cambridge Caregivers
