Kindred Supports

I talk with a lot of adult children who are helping care for a parent, either at home or in assisted living. Most of them are doing their best and still wondering if it’s enough.

I recorded this short video to speak to that feeling. It’s not advice and it’s not a pitch. Just a reminder that uncertainty and overwhelm are part of caring deeply.

This is a question families usually ask when things are already feeling heavy.
Do we bring more help into the home, or is it time to consider a move?
Most families hope in-home care will solve everything. Sometimes it helps a lot. Other times, the hours, cost, and coordination add up faster than expected.
On the other side, the fear of moving someone out often centers on connection and dignity. Will they still feel known. Will the little things be taken care of.
There isn’t one right answer. The goal is understanding the trade-offs early, before decisions are forced by exhaustion or crisis.
If this question is on your mind, you’re not alone.

Caregiver burnout doesn’t usually happen all at once.
It builds slowly as you juggle everything for someone you love.
If you feel worn down or overwhelmed, that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It usually means you care deeply and you’ve been carrying too much on your own.
Avoiding burnout isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about creating space to rest and still live your own life.
Support doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Respite care, community resources, in home care, or residential options can all help create breathing room.
You matter too.
