Senior Living Today - Navigating the Caretaker Role
Nearly 40 million Americans provide 36 billion hours of care to a family member each year. Yet it can still be a challenge to find information and resources for family caregivers. In this episode, Rob Hanrahan, Executive Director of The Ohio Masonic Communities Foundation, shares his life changing experience. After his mom had a sudden stroke, she lost independence, their family dynamics changed, and Rob became a family caregiver. Hear his advice for the time and financial burdens that come with caring for a family member and resources available to help.
Rob offers great advice for checking a facility’s ratings and citations if you’re looking for a community for yourself or a loved one. You can see the ratings and citations of any skilled nursing facility in the country by visiting medicare.gov/care-compare .
