Sue McCormick, owner of SYNERGY HomeCare of North Atlanta, joined Elizabeth Pehrson, host of the On Purpose Podcast to offer guidance on caring for aging parents. With more than 17 years of experience, Sue affectionately calls seniors the “Golden Population,” emphasizing that they should be honored and respected.
Her passion stems from both professional experience and helping her own parents age in place. She believes seniors thrive when they have a sense of purpose, encouraging caregivers to engage them in meaningful ways, from small daily activities to community events like the Golden Gala she organized, featuring dance lessons and social engagement.
Sue’s Top Advice
Be proactive. Many families wait too long to ask for help, leading to unnecessary stress and resentment. She suggests watching for signs like parents having trouble with daily tasks. When care is needed, resources like placement companies, elder advisors, and services like Meals on Wheels can help.
Since most seniors prefer to age at home, SYNERGY HomeCare of North Atlanta offers flexible support, from occasional help to 24-hour live-in care. Planning ahead—both emotionally and financially—ensures aging parents receive the care they need while allowing families to focus on what matters most: their relationship.
