Scenario

When siblings disagree on elderly parent care approaches

My brother and I are both caregiving for our mom who has dementia, and we have completely different approaches - he wants to hire help and I think she'd be more comfortable with family care, but the truth is I work part-time and he doesn't, so it's easier for me to say that. We're both doing our best but we're starting to snap at each other in ways that scare me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people who love the same person are discovering that their different circumstances and resources are creating different definitions of what good care looks like.
