When Aging Gets Complicated: How Care Managers Bring Clarity
In this episode, Jacqui Clark sits down with veteran elder care manager Kira Reginato, a deeply experienced professional who has spent decades helping families navigate one of life’s most overwhelming chapters—caring for aging loved ones. Together, they unpack one of the most misunderstood roles in the senior care world: the Aging Life Care Manager, also known as a geriatric or elder care manager.
Kira explains the difference between hospital case managers and community care managers, the trigger moments that prompt families to seek help, and why most people wait far too long to bring in professional support. She shares real insights into dementia-related challenges, caregiver overwhelm, driving safety, and how care managers quietly become lifelines for both older adults and their families.
Through compassionate guidance, practical strategy, and years of hard-won wisdom, Kira shows why having the right care manager can change everything.
