In this episode of Walks with Mom, host Kimberly Akers is joined by her business partner, Kris Keller of Amada Senior Care in the Phoenix East Valley, for a real and engaging conversation centered on the power of partnerships. What began over 11 years ago as an unexpected step into senior care has evolved into a successful, debt-free business rooted in trust, shared values, and a passion for helping families navigate aging. Together, they bring both professional insight and personal experience to the table, making this episode a must-listen for anyone thinking about senior care planning and family caregiving.

The conversation dives into the realities of aging parents, even when navigating long-distance caregiving.

A powerful moment unfolds as they discuss a family meeting with a financial advisor—highlighting the importance of financial planning for seniors and understanding the true cost of care. This episode opens the door to honest conversations around elder care, preparation, and the decisions families often avoid, offering clarity, connection, and practical insight for the journey ahead.
