Introducing in-home care to a resistant senior can feel challenging, but with empathy, communication, and patience, the transition can be smooth and respectful. This episode explores how families can introduce a new caregiver while preserving dignity and independence.

Listeners will learn how to:

• Understand the root causes of resistance to in-home care
• Use open, respectful communication to ease fears and build trust
• Personalize care plans around the senior’s routines and preferences
• Choose caregivers who match language, culture, and personality
• Keep first visits short and positive to build comfort gradually
• Use empowering language that focuses on independence
• Maintain open feedback loops to ensure ongoing comfort and quality care

By following this roadmap, families can make introducing in-home support a calm, collaborative process that strengthens both trust and well-being.
