Have you taken on the responsibility of caring for one or more family members that are declining in health? Or are you expecting to at some point later in life?  In this sixteenth episode, I am joined by Kerri Sanford, a Medicare Specialist at Lawlen Insurance Solutions. When Kerri got a concerning call about her parents' health, she knew that she couldn’t sit idly by while their mental and physical states continued to decline. She moved them both into her home in Sacramento and became their caretaker while also maintaining her personal career and navigating a global pandemic. Since caring for her parents, Kerri has become passionate about sharing her story and encouraging caregivers to prioritize self-care.  Listen to this episode of On Life With Helen to learn Kerri’s tips and advice for caring for family members. She talks about her parent’s health decline, the different ways that her life changed after they moved in with her, what she learned about the importance of self-care, why it’s important to have a plan of action, and so much more.  In This Episode, You Will Learn:About Kerri’s experience caring for her parents (2:10)How Kerri sought out additional help (7:05)The different ways that Kerri’s daily life changed (11:44)The importance of taking care of yourself while caring for others (22:33)Kerri’s message to caregivers (29:50)Connect with Kerri LinkedInLet’s Connect!EmailLinkedInWebsite - Ornellas InsuranceFacebook  Page - Ornellas & associates insurance servicesFacebook Profile Helen Ornellas Lanham Hosted on Acast.
