What can the U.S. learn from Canada when it comes to elder care? In this continuation of our look at elder care around the world, Attorney Bob Mannor sits down with Amy Friesen, founder of Tea and Toast, to uncover how families navigate the challenges of long-term care north of the border.

From the stark differences between Canada’s public and private systems to the emotional weight of cross-border planning, Amy shares how her personal journey inspired her to guide families through elder care with compassion and clarity. Together, Bob and Amy explore why holistic planning, care navigation, and early preparation are crucial for families facing dementia, aging, and long-term care decisions.

Whether you’re caring for a loved one in the U.S. or Canada, this episode offers eye-opening insights, practical takeaways, and a reminder that pre-planning isn’t just about logistics—it’s about peace of mind.
