In this episode of In Good Company, John and I dive into the heart of the holidays — the traditions, the memories, and the moments that remind us how important family truly is. But we’re also tackling a conversation that so many families avoid… until it becomes urgent. 🦃 Thanksgiving is often the first time all year we see our aging parents or grandparents up close. That makes it the perfect — and sometimes unavoidable — moment to ask the hard questions: Are they safe at home? Are they starting to struggle more than they let on? Is it time to consider home care support? Whether it’s changes in mobility, memory lapses, or subtle signs they’re overwhelmed, the holidays can reveal a lot. And pretending not to notice doesn’t help the people we love most. In this episode, we talk about: Our favorite Thanksgiving family traditions The red flags you might see at holiday gatherings How to approach “the talk” with grandparents compassionately Why early conversations about home care protect dignity — not take it away Practical tips for navigating family emotions, resistance, and fear 💛 If you’ve been putting off this conversation, this episode will give you the confidence, framing, and language to finally have it — with love. 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this with someone who’ll be sitting across from aging parents this holiday season.
