Description

Christmas often brings families together for the first time in months, and it can also highlight changes in ageing parents that are easy to miss during the year.

In this episode, Nathan and Jordan explore what to look for when you notice Mum or Dad might not be coping, how to approach sensitive family conversations, and how to plan Christmas when a parent is already in aged care.

They cover practical signs of cognitive or physical decline, the emotional weight of the season, navigating family dynamics, deciding whether leaving the facility is appropriate, and how to manage roles, expectations and care needs.

A clear, compassionate guide for families navigating aged care during the holidays.
