Talking to your loved one about aging and care needs can be one of the hardest—and most important—conversations you’ll have.

But waiting for a crisis makes everything harder. With a little preparation, you can help ensure that your loved one’s wishes are heard, understood, and respected.

Dad has a new girlfriend… now what? 😳

It can feel surprising. Maybe even a little uncomfortable. But growing older doesn’t mean growing out of the need for companionship and love.

In this episode of Caregiver Chats, Dr. Lakelyn talks with April Ibarra about what it looks like to respect independence and why these conversations work best when we come to the table as a partner, not a parent.

Women are often behind the scenes, doing it all—caregiving, household chores, career, and everything in between.

Nearly two-thirds of caregivers are women (61%), carrying a disproportionate share of emotional and physical labor (AARP). The hard work of caregiving should be more visible and a shared responsibility—not something that often falls on women.

Beyond International Women’s Day, let’s recognize the invisible load so many women carry and work toward a future where care is more balanced. And to every caregiver—make space for the rest, joy, and support you deserve.💚

“It’s really fantastic just to know that the work that I do counts.”

When Maureen joined Home Instead in 2019, advocacy and caregiving became her daily work. She has prevented choking incidents, caught a client mid-fall on a staircase, and sat through long, emotional afternoons with those facing Parkinson’s, dementia, or hospice. Families rely on her when situations feel overwhelming because she brings steadiness, practical skill, and a presence that helps people feel less alone.

Maureen is one of our 2025 Care Pros of the Year. Learn more about her story and meet the rest of this year’s honorees: https://bit.ly/46JGmR2
