Did your holiday visit with your parents leave you feeling a little uneasy? 🎄

Stacks of unopened mail. Expired food in the fridge. Changes in mood, memory, or hygiene.

Those small moments can raise a big question: Is it time for more help at home?

In this episode of 🎙️ Aging Starts Now, Outreach Coordinator Dana Hentschel sits down with Elder Care Coordinator Erin Keogh-Rankin of Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law & Estate Planning to talk through the subtle—and not-so-subtle—red flags families often notice during holiday visits.

We cover:

✔️ Common warning signs in the home environment

✔️ Changes in memory, behavior, mobility, and self-care

✔️ How to know when it’s time to intervene

✔️ First steps to take—without guilt or panic

✔️ How to support aging parents while respecting dignity and independence

If you noticed changes and aren’t sure what they mean, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
