This is an Eldercare Success Black Friday Special. I (your host, Nancy May) want to share a rather interesting and enlightening discussion I had with the original jolly old man himself: Santa.
What does Santa have to do with aging or elder care? Well, a lot more than you might realize. He’s also got some insightful ways to bring younger children into the caring process. Santa also revealed how to create special gifts for those who say they have everything, how to manage grief during the holiday season, and how to mend broken relationships between family members.
This is a special episode that will tug on your heartstrings and is also filled with tips, tools, and ideas. I know it will be special, no matter what your faith or beliefs are.
You can send your notes to Santa through one of the episode links below.
Stay informed, stay strong. Keep following Eldercare Success.
