In this month's episode, Roberto and Martha chat with Junie Baratti, Director of Operations at A Caring Touch Home Care, an organization specializing in senior care management with innovative approaches to supporting older adults and their families.

Listen to their conversation about the emotional and practical challenges family caregivers face when deciding to bring professional help into the home. They explore strategies for easing that transition, including how to share personalized information about a loved one's preferences and how to use redirection techniques to create meaningful, calming experiences for those living with dementia.
