Family disagreements are common as adult siblings navigate a parent’s journey with aging.
Aging Wisdom’s Director of Care Management, Nicole Amico Kane, joins our principal and founder, Lisa Mayfield, in a conversation about how and why family members have different perspectives and varying degrees of comfort with a parent’s choices and preferences, and why that can lead to conflicts.
Aging Life Care professionals, aka Care Managers can serve as that neutral, unbiased expert in getting everyone on the same page and moving forward on addressing the issues that are causing concern.
