Finding the right care for an aging loved one can feel overwhelming, especially when families do not know what services exist, what questions to ask, or where to begin.
In this episode of Foresight Radio, Rachel Hill speaks with Heather Todd, co-founder and CEO of Aging Sidekick, about helping families navigate senior care with greater clarity and confidence. Drawing on nearly 30 years in healthcare and more than a decade in senior care, Heather explains why families often pursue solutions that do not match their actual needs and how Aging Sidekick helps connect them with the right resources faster.
Rachel and Heather also discuss the myths surrounding aging, the value of senior living, and why operators must understand a family’s care needs before promoting their amenities.
