In this episode, caregiver coach and dementia-care trainer Kat Verdi joins Valerie to break down what families need to know about independent living, assisted living, memory care, and buy-in communities across the Garden State. From understanding the real differences between care types to asking the right “what if” questions before signing a contract, Kat shares compassionate, practical advice based on more than a decade of hands-on experience. You’ll walk away knowing how to spot red flags, what to expect financially, and why transparency is key on both sides. Whether you’re just beginning to explore options or already deep in the process, this conversation will help you move from confusion to clarity - and, as always, help make it doable.
