In this episode of There for Care, host Amy Rein talks with Jamala Arland, President and CEO of U.S. Life Insurance at Genworth. She joins us today as a granddaughter navigating one of the hardest questions families face: When your aging loved one needs more support, should they stay in their current home?

Through her grandfather’s journey, Jamala shares the realities behind their decision, the comfort and dignity of staying at home, the loneliness and safety risks of aging alone, and the emotional weight of leaving a house full of memories. She also explores the alternatives families should consider, from independent living to building a new home designed for aging in place.

What unfolds is not just a checklist of pros and cons but a deeply human story about identity, belonging, and honoring what really matters to an older loved one. Jamala’s reflections offer guidance for families weighing their own options, showing how love, respect, and practical planning can work together.

Whether you’re currently caring for a parent or grandparent, or simply preparing for the future, this episode will help you think through one of the most important choices in aging care.
