The Truth About Falls, Fear & Aging at Home with Matt Guerrieri | Caring for older parents living alone.

​

It's estimated that approximately 90% older adults want to "age at home."

It's great that people want to live independently, but it also brings up legitimate concerns about safety.

If you’re in the Sandwich Generation, caring for aging parents while still trying to live your own life, you already know this truth:

We usually don’t do anything… until there’s a 911 moment.

• The fall.
• The phone that goes unanswered.
• The “we thought everything was fine… until it wasn’t.”

Today, I sit down with Matt Guerrieri of Medical Guardian to talk openly about what it really means to help our parents stay independent, safe, and confident at home

We talk about:

• Why families avoid “the conversation” until it’s too late
• How to talk to a stubborn, fiercely independent parent
• The emotional whiplash of becoming the caregiver
• The inside story of medical alert devices and tech (and why most people misunderstand them)
• The truth about falls, isolation, and preventable crises
• And how to plan ahead without fear, guilt, or pressure

If you’ve got aging parents or loved ones who live alone, this is the one to watch.
