We Don’t Age Alone: How Family Shapes Care in Latin Culture
Description
In this episode, CareScout Services General Counsel, Vidal Torres shares how growing up in a large Latino family shaped the way he sees caregiving, not as a duty, but as a natural part of life. From living with grandparents and great-grandparents to caring for his own loved ones, Vidal talks about the deep cultural roots of caring for elders in the home.
He reflects on the joy of shared stories, the importance of presence over logistics, and how family support systems change when you move away from tight-knit communities. He also speaks honestly about the emotional and practical challenges that come with caregiving and why getting help doesn't just benefit the person receiving care, but the whole family.
