When seniors say, “I’m fine,” it’s often layered with meaning.
Sometimes it means:
• “I don’t want to be a burden”
• “I’m afraid of losing control”
• “I’ve always been independent”
This is why conversations about care shouldn’t start with what’s wrong —
but with what matters most to them.
Care works when it feels collaborative, respectful, and human.
