Welcome to this 2021 special Holiday edition with our host, Carol Chiarito as she encourages families to “have a chat” this holiday season. Whether you’ve visited your parents and have noticed a change in their interactions, their memory, their abilities or if you are noticing those same changes in yourself….it may be time to have “the Kitchen Table Talk”, as referred to by Chiarito.
Taken from her book, “It’s as Simple As Where You Live, A Guide for Beginning the Journey Into Eldercare”, Carol shares ideas and discusses her own experiences with her family in starting the conversations. Might not be the topic you think you’d like to cover, but it definitely the topic you should be covering; at any age!
Take a listen and get yourself ready for being prepared for whatever your future may hold.

Happy Holidays to everyone!!
