Age Old Questions: The Aging Parents Podcast
A podcast that explores the challenges of supporting aging parents with wisdom, humor, and honesty.
I know that navigating the role of supporting an aging parent can leave you feeling frustrated, guilty, worried, and alone. I'm here to provide guidance, interview experts, and share stories from people just like you so you'll feel more connected, prepared, and less stressed. We have big complicated lives to live, and this is part of the whole thing. I want to empower and inspire you to enjoy, to laugh, to ponder, to grieve and to really engage in this part of life. - Ellen.

04. What to do when your parent is diagnosed with a new illness
I talk with Stacey Savarese, a Nurse and Social Worker, about what to do and what to expect when your aging parent gets a new diagnosis. Stacey provides guidance on what questions to ask, where to find resources, and what sort of emotions you and your parent might go through after receiving a new diagnosis. She gives some great tips on how adult children can help their aging parents navigate the healthcare system.
