We’ve talked about types of senior living and independent living. At some point, there comes a time to intervene, when a senior loved one’s health or situation changes. Heinz Gehner and Eric Wollan of MorningStar Senior Living talk about this time. Being proactive and responsible lets you make those steps in the easiest way possible. Change is hard at any age.
This segment talks about how to approach the conversation. They’ve seen more instances during COVID where the adult child visits, and finds science experiments in the refrigerator, or weeks worth of unopened mail on the dining room table, with bills unpaid. Gehner is Executive Director, and Wollan is Director of Community Relations, for MorningStar Senior Living at Silver Lake in Everett, Washington.
