Hi Friend, With the holiday season upon us, many families spend time with loved ones they haven’t seen in a while. During these visits, small details can stand out, such as changes in eating habits, forgotten appointments, or an unsteady gait. These moments can be easy to dismiss, but they’re often early signs that extra help may be needed at home. Acting early can prevent a crisis later and help your loved one stay safe, comfortable, and independent longer. How to Tell if Your Loved One’s Care Needs Are Changing and What to Do Next This week's featured article helps families learn which changes to watch for, from mobility and memory issues to skipped meals, and find practical next steps that make a real difference. We cover how to start tough conversations, what kind of help to consider, and how programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and respite care can support family caregivers.

Watching her struggle with small icons, tapping the wrong buttons, and getting confused by multiple screens was frustrating for her and stressful for all of us. Recently, Chris and I had...
Hi Friend, A new year has a way of highlighting unfinished business, especially the kind that sits quietly in a file drawer until a crisis forces it into the spotlight.
