Parent Care Workshop

"The Why" I Started This Website

Welcome, I’m Theresa.

Like many adult children, I never imagined I'd suddenly become the advocate and navigator for my aging mom while balancing motherhood, marriage, work, and everyday life. The journey opened my eyes to a world of resources, programs, and difficult decisions that I knew nothing about.

That's why I created Parent Care Workshop.

My mission is simple: to help families discover practical resources, ask the right questions, and make more informed decisions when caring for an aging parent. Some of what I share comes from my own experience, while much comes from extensive research, trusted resources, and the experiences of other families. My hope is that you feel more prepared, more confident, and never alone on this journey.

Area Agencies On Aging

Most families don’t realize there is a federally funded office in every county designed to help older adults stay safe and independent at home. Area Agencies on Aging connect families to important services like meals, transportation, caregiver support, respite care, and more—often free or donation-based. For many adult children navigating care for an aging parent, this can be one of the most important first places to start.
