What if I promised the person I care for that I would always keep them at home, yet now I need to move them to a facility or other location, with Jeanette Yates (Episode 133)

Many of us have had the conversation- we vow to keep the person we care for home forever; We will never move them to a facility or otherwise... And then one day, reality hits, and we face the fact that we may not be able to follow through on this promise that once seemed feasible. 

In today’s episode, Jeanette Yates discusses how she navigated this exact situation with her own mother and what she learned in the process. She shares her experiences and learnings with listeners that are sure to leave you feeling validated, heard and understood.
