Quote: “Most people don’t understand how seniors’ care works.  They don’t know what they don’t know, other than what they’ve read about.  Deborah Bakti There comes a time in many of our lives when we must help make the decision for our loved ones regarding their care.  Whether it be for an elderly parent, grandparent, other family member or a younger person; a spouse or child, it’s never an easy decision.  For those who face the need to move a loved one into long term care, there hasn't been much focus on the impact - physically and emotionally - for them.  As well, LTC is a bit of an unknown - and particularly since COVID, there is a LOT more fear and anxiety around making this decision.  On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Deborah Bakti to share her expertise about helping families navigate this difficult and emotional time. Deborah is the owner of THINK Breakthrough Inc., a consulting and training company that helps Seniors Care organizations build stronger, healthier relationships with their residents' families.
