Flight #109: Care Around the Block – Elderly Care Part 2

What do you do when your aging parent needs care, but you live across the country and don’t know where to start? In this episode, Casey Rausin, RN, CCM, and CEO of HOMECAREceo Forum, joins the show to help answer that question. With decades of experience in advanced aging and lifecare planning, Casey breaks down how her team acts like a “healthcare advisor,” helping families proactively manage aging-related care before it becomes a crisis. You’ll learn why executive functioning is often the first red flag in elderly decline, why it’s critical to know your parents’ care team (just like you’d know their financial advisor or attorney), and how to approach care from a preventative, not reactive, mindset.

Casey also explains the different care options available today, from independent and assisted living to in-home care and new AI-supported solutions that make frequent care more accessible. She addresses concerns like affordability, safety, and how to build a trusted care team when you can’t be physically present. Whether you’re facing a specific concern or just want to be better prepared for the future, this episode offers clear, practical steps to help you confidently navigate care for your loved ones.
