Life’s changing phases

The “empty nest” phase is a significant life milestone. It’s a time when your children leave home, often for university or to start their own careers. This period can bring immense pride in your children’s accomplishments, and it can leave a sense of uncertainty as well as perhaps some excitement. Adjusting to change can be challenging, yet it’s also an opportunity to rediscover ourselves, focus on personal growth, and embrace new challenges.

Problem solving: Being a parent or in other roles has likely made you adaptable and solution-focused, perfect for addressing the diverse needs of older adults, who are each unique in their personalities, interests and care needs.
