Daily Care & Communication Guide
From difficult conversations to hiring help, get practical guidance for the day-to-day realities of caring for aging parents—whether they're across town or across the country.
Caregiving isn't one big decision—it's hundreds of small ones, every day. Should you bring up the car keys conversation now or wait? How do you find a trustworthy home caregiver? What's the best way to coordinate care when you live hours away? Our daily care guides tackle the practical, often unglamorous realities of supporting aging parents.
Many of the hardest parts of caregiving involve communication: having difficult conversations about driving, money, or end-of-life wishes; navigating resistance when parents won't accept help; managing family dynamics when siblings have different views. We provide scripts, strategies, and frameworks for these sensitive discussions that respect your parent's dignity while addressing real concerns.
You'll also find practical guidance on the logistics of care: hiring and managing in-home caregivers, coordinating transportation to medical appointments, helping parents accept assistance gracefully, and preparing for emergencies. Whether you're hands-on daily or coordinating from a distance, these resources help you provide better care with less stress.
