She also coaches me on natural ways to initiate meaningful conversations with my own parents, using open-ended questions about future plans and daily living abilities. No matter where you are in your life, I hope this episode helps you, too.

There are several myths surrounding senior living communities - such as it being an old folks' home or a place for those who can't take care of themselves. During our conversation, Colleen explains that senior living communities offer a vibrant lifestyle with amenities and social activities. Caregiver strain is also discussed.
