  Create the Care Plan Before the Crisis: How to Avoid Chaos When a Loved One Needs Care with Ashley Haruna

  Jul 6, 202630 minS5

  Send us Fan Mail Most families think they'll know what to do if a loved one suddenly needs care. The reality? Many don't discover the gaps in their plan until they're in the middle of a crisis. Kelly spoke with Ashley Haruna, RN and founder of La Pearl Concierge, on the Steadfast Care Planning podcast to talk about what families often overlook when it comes to aging, caregiving, and planning ahead. In our conversation, we discussed: ✅ Why having resources isn't the same as having a plan ✅ One of the biggest mistakes families make when a health event occurs ✅ How caregiving responsibilities can impact family relationships ✅ A simple mindset shift that can help families navigate difficult decisions with more confidence One thing Ashley said really stood out to me: preparation isn't about predicting the future. It's about creating options before you need them. If you're helping aging parents, supporting a spouse, or simply thinking ahead for your own future, this is a conversation worth listening to. 💡 Create the plan. Fund the plan. Share it with those you love. Your future self and your family will thank you. For additional information about Kelly, check her out on Linkedin or www.SteadfastAgents.com .

  When Is the Right Time to Make A Care Change with Michelle Graf

  Apr 6, 202629 min

  Send us Fan Mail Navigating senior care decisions isn’t easy… and most families don’t realize that until they’re in it. Kelly recently had a conversation with Michelle Graf that reinforced something I see all the time: 👉 The timing of your planning changes everything. A few things that often surprise people: • Waiting until a crisis limits your options more than you think • “Independence” in care doesn’t always look the way people expect • And one financial assumption can quietly derail an otherwise solid plan This isn’t just something to think about later. The earlier you start, the more control you have—over your options, your finances, and your family’s experience. If you’re supporting aging parents—or thinking ahead for yourself—this is a conversation worth having sooner, not later.
