This week on Sandwich Stories we are joined by Christian Day Lewis of Dragon's Eye Construction! We talk real strategies for aging in place and making home modifications to accommodate the needs of elderly individuals, while also maintaining safety for young children! We cover topics such as improving accessibility, safety features like grab bars and non-slip surfaces, and adapting kitchens and bathrooms to make them more user-friendly. We also discuss the importance of planning ahead and utilizing child-proofing techniques that can be repurposed for aging in place needs! Don't forget to check in next week for part 2, and download our Free Aging In Place Checklist Below! She is you and you are her. One day you wake up and suddenly you look around and realize your life is…complicated. You’re sandwiched between caring for and navigating aging parents…while still trying to raise your young family.

This week on Sandwich Stories we talk about the importance of scheduling and time management for not only our parents, children but ourselves as well. We go over some easy to manage tips like color-coding calendars, setting alarms and working backwards from appointment times to avoid rushing and reduce stress.

I don't know who needs to hear this but, don't forget to set aside some time for self-care and don't feel guilty about prioritizing personal needs, as this can ultimately make one a better caretaker for others.

She is you and you are her. One day you wake up and suddenly you look around and realize your life is…complicated. You’re sandwiched between caring for and navigating aging parents…while still trying to raise your young family.
