Protecting Aging Parents: Falls, Car Keys, Scams, and Caregiver Stress

Caring for aging parents is emotional, confusing, and full of risk you don’t see coming. In this Risk Raiders episode, Jeff and Brent break down how to protect elderly parents from the big four: dangerous falls at home, unsafe driving and “time to take the keys” moments, financial scams and bad actors, and the hidden liability of bringing caregivers into the house or moving to assisted living. They share real stories from the insurance world, practical red flags to watch for (like throw rugs, dents on the car, and sudden “new friends”), and how to use tools like certificates of insurance, LLCs, and legal/financial planning to protect both your parents and your own assets. If you’re starting to worry about Mom or Dad’s safety, independence, or money—but don’t know how to step in without blowing up the relationship—this episode will give you language, ideas, and a game plan you can start using this week.
