It's one of the hardest decisions a family will ever face. And it almost never gets made once — it gets revisited, renegotiated, and reconsidered as circumstances change. Most families make it without a framework, under pressure, after a crisis.
In this episode, John Webb — medical social worker with over 20 years of experience in home health care and hospital discharge planning — lays out the decision framework he has used with hundreds of families navigating the aging at home versus senior living question. From clinical safety thresholds to family dynamics to financial realities, this episode gives families the structure to have the right conversation at the right time — before a hospitalization or fall forces the decision for them.
