When Your Mom Can't Ask for Help: The Supervision Threshold Christian Caregivers Need to Know

There comes a moment in dementia caregiving when the risks are no longer theoretical. Mom cannot ask for help. Hygiene is compromised. Wandering is no longer a concern — it is happening. In this episode, we walk with Angie, a Christian daughter navigating the sudden loss of her father, complex family dynamics, and the quiet realization that her mom may already require uninterrupted supervision. This is not a conversation about making decisions quickly. It is a conversation about recognizing what has already become true — and learning to see it clearly before Christ. Many caregivers assume they’ll know “it’s time” when their parent no longer recognizes them. In this episode, we gently but honestly dismantle that assumption and introduce a different marker: the supervision threshold. When someone with dementia cannot identify danger and cannot ask for help, the question is no longer medical. It is a stewardship question. You’ll hear: Why wandering and hygiene changes are cumulative safety markers Why recognition is not the deciding factor in care transitions How to think about uninterrupted supervision without guilt or panic Why legal and care conversations must begin before decisions are made What faithful discernment looks like when there is no easy answer Timestamp: 0:00 – Introduction 2:18 – The Real Threshold: Uninterrupted Supervision 7:41 – Hygiene, Toileting, and Safety Markers Stacking Up 13:04 – She Already Needs 24-Hour Supervision 28:51 – Telling Your Family: “It’s Time” This episode is especially for Christian caregivers who are: Carrying more than one household Managing care after the death of a spouse caregiver Navigating sibling dynamics and responsibility Feeling the weight of decisions without wanting to rush toward relief Nothing is decided in this conversation — and that is intentional.
