Episode Synopsis

Figuring out when your aging parent actually needs help is like decoding a secret language—one where “I’m fine” sometimes means “I just fell, but don’t worry about it.” In this episode of The Babs and Dot Show, we dive into the tricky balance of doing too much vs. not enough, the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs they might need support, and why they insist on doing things that make us lose sleep. Plus, we’ll go through a handy list of 11 signs it’s time to step in—whether they admit it or not![edit, in this episode, at some point we mention "Medicaid, "we meant "Medicare."]Please email us with questions today!
