What happens when a woman who styled yarn for West Point Pepperell, ran a high-end kitchen and bath renovation showroom, and earned a certification in aging in place design watches her mother's dementia accelerate and her father's health decline at the same time — and realizes that being the professional doesn't protect you from being the family member who needs help? In this episode of the Trustcast Show, Zane Myers speaks with Jill Poser, founder of Life Care Concierge of South Florida, about what aging life care management actually is, why families never call until they're seven minutes from a crisis, and why having a nurse at the center of an aging parent's care changes everything a home care agency simply cannot. Jill explains the concept of filial maturity — the healthy mindset where adult children support their parents without becoming their parents — and what it felt like to hire her own care manager so she could go back to being her parents' daughter instead of their caregiver. They also discuss why people with dementia are still adults who deserve to be treated as such, what executive function means and why losing it is often invisible to the person losing it, how therapeutic recreation and ethical wills fit into a truly patient-centered care model, and why so many families in South Florida move into 55-plus communities without ever thinking about what happens when things change. Jill Poser is the founder and leader of Life Care Concierge of South Florida, a nurse-led aging life care management practice serving high-net-worth families in the South Florida area. She is certified three times in care management and co-founded a charity GALA for the Alzheimer's Association.
