In this episode of Caring Table Podcast, I'm joined by Kama Mengel and Lisa Hoffman fromPathstones by Phoebefor an honest, informative conversation about proactive aging and long-term planning.
Together, we explore why so many families are forced into crisis decisions, how planning early creates more choices, and why aging “reactively” often leads to outcomes seniors never wanted. Kama and Lisa explain how Pathstones by Phoebe helps individuals age in place, navigate complex care systems, and maintain independence, while also giving families peace of mind.
This episode dives into real-life scenarios around caregiving, aging in place, long-term care planning, documentation, and advocacy. Whether you’re planning for yourself, supporting aging parents, or simply want to understand what options exist, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical guidance.
If you believe aging should be planned your way, this episode is a must-listen.
