Scenario

When adult children plan aging parent care across different circumstances

My mom is getting older and my siblings and I are starting to have conversations about her future care, but we all have such different relationships with her and different capacities to help, and no one wants to be the one who says they can't do as much as the others. We're all being noble and vague instead of honest about what we can actually handle.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Family loyalty can prevent the honest accounting of resources and limitations that effective caregiving requires.
