If you're worried about an older adult in your life, starting the conversation can feel overwhelming. πŸ’œ

A few gentle ways to open the door:
πŸ’œ "I've been thinking about you. How are things really going at home?"
πŸ’œ "Whatever you're going through, I'm here β€” no judgment."
πŸ’œ "There's a helpline we can call together if you ever want to talk to someone."

You don't need all the answers. You just need to show up.

Caregivers and family members are welcome to call the Seniors Safety Line.
