A•bridge: Aging Life Care Management

02/24/2026

At Abridge, we are entrusted with some of life’s most personal decisions. We approach that responsibility with humility and deep respect. Our role is not to take over, but to ensure each individual’s voice remains central in every conversation, every plan, and every decision.

We work alongside our clients to clarify their goals, understand their values, and translate their wishes into thoughtful, coordinated action. Whether navigating healthcare systems, family dynamics, or complex transitions, we serve as steady advocates by protecting dignity, preserving independence, and ensuring that preferences are honored.

Person-centered care means more than support. It means partnership.

I’m excited to partner with retired UGA professor & fellow gerontologist Dr. Anne Glass to lead a timely conversation hosted by OLLI@UGA Aging Well SIG.

We’ll break down how aging services actually work, what resources exist (locally & beyond), and how to advocate for the care you or a loved one deserve. Learn what supports are available, how to make informed decisions under pressure, and how to advocate for quality care before a crisis hits.

This Valentine’s Day, let's honor the aging caregivers who stay committed to their loved one even when caregiving gets really hard. Like Jay Leno, 75, who firmly rejected suggestions to find a new girlfriend following his wife Mavis’s dementia diagnosis.
This Valentine’s Day, let's not just say “Happy Valentine’s Day” to a spousal caregiver. Let's say, 'I see you'. Offer a break. A meal. An hour. Love doesn’t always look like roses. Sometimes, it looks like caregiving.

I thoroughly enjoyed presenting at the Oconee/Athens Senior Resource Network meeting yesterday. We focused our discussion on a sample case study to highlight how we all collaborate together to problem solve and improve the lives of the people we assist. What a great way to start off the new year 2026!

Creating an Emergency Room "go bag" is a proactive way to stay ahead of a potential emergency. This way you can stay focused when time is critical and you need to focus on the problem at hand. The bag should include updated medical documents (medication lists, contacts, advance directives), phone charger, and essentials. Avoid valuables that could be lost or stolen.

As you set goals for the new year, creating an advance directive is a powerful step. It ensures your healthcare wishes are honored if you can’t speak for yourself. An estate planning or elder law attorney can help draft the document, and an experienced Abridge Care Manager can help you or your family facilitate your wishes if you are unable to.

Creating an advance directive is one of the most caring steps you can take for yourself and your family. By writing down your healthcare wishes now, you ensure that your values guide your care if you ever can't speak for yourself.

Staying on top of your job while caring for an aging loved one can feel like a nonstop juggling act. The push and pull of duties and commitments at home and work may leave you stretched thin and worried about dropping a critical ball. You are not alone.

As many families gather for the holidays, adults in the 'sandwich generation' who are caring for aging parents while raising children often feel the pressure more than ever. Nearly 1 in 4 adults are juggling these dual roles, and the emotional and logistical strain can intensify this time of year.

A professional care manager can ease that burden by coordinating care, advocating for aging parents, and helping families plan proactively so holiday gatherings feel less overwhelming and more meaningful.

Bringing in support isn’t just practical, it’s an act of care for your parents, your children, and yourself. Let this season be one where you don’t have to do it all alone.

Aging is a shared journey, experienced in deeply personal ways. Too often, we define it by decline, when in truth, one lost ability doesn’t erase a lifetime of skills, resilience, and wisdom.

Whether you’re balancing work, family, and caregiving, or just trying to hold it all together, you deserve support, too.

If you’re searching for guidance on caring for a parent or looking for resources and encouragement around help with elder care, you don’t have to do it all by yourself.

Caring for a parent can feel like an invisible weight. It's one that you carry with love, but also with exhaustion. If you’ve ever told yourself “I should be...
