Daily - When Family Disagrees About Care Decisions

Got a comment or idea? Send us a text.

We share why family conflicts about elder care are rarely about logistics and mostly about values, fears, and love. We walk through five practical steps to move from tension to shared decisions that protect safety, dignity, and connection.

• naming emotions to reduce blame
• aligning on shared goals of safety, dignity and connection
• including the parent’s voice with simple, open questions
• balancing uneven caregiving roles with clear tasks and respect
• using neutral professionals to break stalemates
• shifting from convincing to compassionate listening
• taking small trial steps and adjusting together
