Navigating Healthcare
for Aging Parents
The Holidays Reveal What We Miss All Year
Short visits often expose subtle changes we overlook in day-to-day routines.
New Confusion or
Forgetfulness
Your parent seemed “off,”
repeated themselves, or
struggled to follow
conversations.
More Unsteadiness or Near Falls
You noticed wobbling,
difficulty standing, or
grabbing onto furniture
for support.
Withdrawal or Quietness
A normally social parent
sat quietly, avoided
conversation, or seemed
overwhelmed.
These changes aren’t “just aging.” They’re clinical red flags that families often notice for the first time during
holiday gatherings.
Seeing these patterns can feel confusing or even scary — but you are not alone, and you can understand what
they mean and what to do next.
What you'll learn in the 5 day caregiver bootcamp
Simple tools to help you understand whether your parent’s behavior is a normal aging
change — or a sign they need more support
How to spot early red flags
When to be concerned
and when not to panic
What to do next
You’ll learn the specific
clinical signs that indicate
memory loss, mobility
decline, or cognitive
changes — the same cues
nurses look for during an
assessment.
We’ll walk through what
changes are typical for
aging… and which ones
should prompt a doctor’s
visit, medication review, or
safety check.
You’ll get a clear roadmap:
who to call, what to say,
what to document, and
how to advocate for your
parent without conflict or
overwhelm.
This Bootcamp is designed for families — not clinicians.
No medical background needed. No guessing. Just clarity, understanding, and the confidence to know what to do next.
Why These Changes Matter More Than You Think
Early warning signs aren’t random — they’re indicators of where your parent’s
health, safety, and independence may be headed.
Increasing Care Needs
Safety Risks Are Rising
Family Stress is Growing
Your parent may need more help with dressing, meals, bathing, or medication
— even if they haven’tsaid so out loud.
Wobbling, confusion, or sudden quietness can signal fall risk, cognitive
decline, or unmanaged medical conditions.
You’re suddenly unsure what’s “normal,” what’s concerning, and how to keep them safe without overstepping.
These Changes Don't Resolve On Their Own- They Progress
But families rarely catch them early enough to prevent a crisis
If you noticed even one of these signs during the holiday visit, now is the time to understand what’s happening,
what’s coming next, and how to support your parent before something prevents you from having options.

You Don’t Need to Guess What These Changes Mean —
