Scenario

When family caregivers disagree on care philosophy

My mom and I have been taking care of my aging grandmother together for two years now and we've developed completely different philosophies about what 'helping' means — I want to preserve her independence, my mom wants to keep her safe, and grandma just keeps getting more confused about our mixed messages.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Competing care philosophies create confusion for the person being cared for and strain between the caregivers.
