Aging Gracefully with Betsy and Chris Head (Part 2)

Jesus Fix It

Join us for a heartfelt and insightful episode of the Jesus Fix It podcast as we continue our conversation with Betsy and Chris Head from Karis Care. We explore the critical aspects of caring for our aging and elderly loved ones, focusing on planning for caregiving based on specific events rather than a rigid timetable. Betsy shares valuable tips on maintaining physical abilities through daily activities that promote mobility and independence, drawing from her own mother's inspiring experience of staying active until the age of 97. We also address the challenge of finding compassionate caregivers in a post-COVID world and emphasize the importance of having a heart for caregiving over formal certifications. If you're passionate about making a difference, Karis Care offers training and support for those looking to join this meaningful field.
In another segment, we highlight the significance of relationship-building in home care and share touching stories of clients and caregivers forming deep connections, especially during end-of-life care. Funding home care can be challenging, and we discuss various options such as private pay, long-term care insurance, veteran benefits, and improved reverse mortgage programs. Finally, Betsy and Chris open up about the grace that guides their business decisions, the blessings they've experienced, and their hopes for addressing caregiver shortages. Tune in for a truly enriching discussion!
