12 p.m. ET
Moving to assisted living (or any kind of senior living community!) is a major life change — full of stress, sadness, relief, and a whole lot of logistics for everyone involved. While there’s no magic button we can press to make it easy, there are things we can be doing to make it (at least a little) easier. And that’s what we’ll be discussing in this Caregiver Conversation by Carallel.
Join us for some real talk about how to prepare for the move, talk through expectations, and make the new space feel familiar and comforting. And we’ll share pointers to help both of you get through the first few months more smoothly.
