As dementia progresses, families may question whether care at home is still safe or sustainable. Changes in behavior, medical needs, social engagement, or a caregiver’s ability to cope can all signal that additional support may be needed, but knowing when and how to take the next step can be difficult.

Cory Fosco joins us to explain the key signs to watch for, why families often delay these conversations, and how to assess a caregiver’s own limits before a crisis forces a decision.

Fosco will also break down the differences between assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. He’ll share guidance on evaluating care communities beyond their marketing language and address common financial misconceptions, particularly around Medicare and long-term custodial care.

Fosco is the author of “The Question of When: A Practical Guide to Knowing When It’s Time for Assisted Living, Memory Care, or Skilled Nursing.” He has spent 34 years working in long-term care, with experience in social work, admissions, skilled nursing, senior care, and healthcare technology.

Join us Friday, August 21, at 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET for a Live Talk with Fosco about recognizing when more dementia care may be needed, understanding the available options, and beginning these conversations before an emergency makes the decision for you.
