Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode, I reveal the quiet six to eighteen month window that often comes before a caregiving crisis, and why so many families miss it. I walk you through the subtle warning signs that signal something is changing, how to tell the difference between normal aging and meaningful decline, and the four critical steps to take before an emergency forces difficult decisions. You'll learn how early preparation can preserve your parent's independence, reduce family stress, and give everyone more options. Recognizing this window may be one of the most important things you can do for your aging parent and for yourself.
