A Small Lesson from the Guthrie Case

The recent Guthrie case is a good reminder that helping aging parents often comes down to the basics. 

Little things — like making sure a doorbell camera subscription is paid, keeping track of important passwords, or having key phone numbers written down — can make a big difference when something unexpected happens. 

It’s also worth gently talking about whether the family home has gotten too big or hard to manage. 

These simple conversations and check-ins now can save a lot of worry later for everyone involved.
