Caring for Loved Ones Without Burning Out: Inside Midland’s Adult Day Program | #84
Caring for a loved one is one of the hardest — and most important — roles someone can take on.
Logan sits down with Christin Cardani of Senior Services Midland and Seasons Adult Day Health Services to talk about a powerful but often overlooked resource for families.
Christin shares how Seasons provides a structured daytime program for individuals experiencing dementia, cognitive changes, or other conditions — while also giving caregivers something just as important: time.
They dive into:
- What Seasons Adult Day Health Services actually is
- Who qualifies and how the program works
- Why socialization and routine matter for cognitive health
- How caregivers can avoid burnout
- What a typical day looks like for participants
- The importance of early intervention
- And how this program helps families keep loved ones at home longer
This episode is about support, dignity, and giving both seniors and caregivers a better quality of life.
