Most families don’t have a plan for aging until they are thrown directly into the middle of a crisis. Suddenly, adult children and spouses are forced to navigate a complex world of medical jargon, life-changing decisions, and emotional tension—often realizing too late that they didn’t know what they didn’t know.
In this premier episode of Insights on Aging, host Steve Lorberbaum (owner of Assisting Hands Home Care) sits down with life transition coach Jen Gruber and HR professional Jillian Bernstein to strip away the jargon and have an honest conversation about aging. Together, they tackle the difficult discussions that precede the need for care, from getting a parent to safely give up the car keys to balancing a demanding full-time job while managing family transitions.
Whether you are trying to build trust with an aging parent, stepping into a caregiving role, or trying to understand what employee benefits are available to support you, this episode bridges the gap between uncertainty and empowerment.
