In this episode of Next Steps 4 Seniors, host Wendy Jones sits down with Libby Carpenter, social worker and founder of Guiding Seniors Advocacy and Education, to uncover the essential steps for empowering seniors and their families. What You’ll Learn: The surprising reason many seniors keep their struggles hidden—and how to spot the signs early. Why establishing a health baseline is a game-changer for long-term care. How family communication can prevent conflict and create a stronger support system. The role of senior advocates in mediating family discussions and navigating medical care. The #1 legal document every family should have in place to avoid confusion later. Libby shares a powerful case study where 37 family members came together—despite differences—to create a unified care plan for their loved one. Aging doesn’t have to be stressful or isolating. With the right knowledge, preparation, and support, seniors and their families can approach this stage with confidence and peace of mind. 📞 Learn more about Libby Carpenter’s services at guidingseniors.org or call (248) 562-2664.
