09. Tools to help you track and organize your aging parent's medical information

Managing aging parents' medical information can be an overwhelming responsibility. That's why I invited Julie Crenshaw, a home health physical therapist, to share her expertise and insights on how to navigate this daunting task. Julie has created two helpful resources, Keep Up with Your Parent's Doctors All in One and Tracking Your Parent's Vital Signs, to help caregivers stay organized and reduce stress. In our conversation, Julie offers practical tips on how to effectively organize information about all your parents' healthcare providers, make the most of medical appointments, manage medications, and keep track of vital signs. She also shares equipment recommendations to ensure you have the right tools without wading through a million Amazon reviews. With Julie's experience and guidance, you'll feel more confident and prepared as you support your aging parents' healthcare needs.

08. Family Story: Finding Understanding at the End of Life

When Janet Krebs moved her aging mother into her home, she started a challenging journey that would lead to understanding and acceptance.  Join us as we share Janet's story of navigating a strained mother/daughter relationship, setting healthy boundaries, starting hard conversations, and the gift of seeing her mother in a new light before she passed away. Janet's honest and vulnerable recount of inviting her mother into her life without judgment will resonate with anyone caring for an elderly parent.

07. Family Story: Nick Gaige

In this episode I talk with Nick Gaige about caring for his father from a distance.

06. Guilt: It's what's for breakfast

Families who are supporting aging parents often tell me they feel guilty. They feel guilty they're not doing enough, or that their parent is not doing better, or that they're not able to do the right things or find the right solutions. It's understandable to feel guilty when no matter what you do, it feels like something is going wrong. This episode is a short reflection on guilt, why it's so common among people supporting aging parents, and how to let it go... Oh, and also breakfast and Dwayne The Rock Johnson. https://www.ageoldquestions.org/ [https://www.ageoldquestions.org/] Music by Kristin Gordon [https://kristingordon.com/] Send me a message [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2167061/open_sms] Click Here [https://thoughtful-builder-4876.ck.page/237bf602f2] to learn more about our Community and sign up to become a Founding Member for free Visit the website: ageoldquestions.org [https://www.ageoldquestions.org/]
