EP 139 - Kira Reginato, CMC: “Aging With Clarity, Compassion, and Confidence: What Families Need to Know Now”

Dale Corpus Season 1 Episode 139

When an aging parent begins to struggle, most adult children are hit with the same overwhelming questions:

Where do I start? What should I be looking for? Am I doing the right thing?
Today’s guest brings clarity, grounding, and decades of real-world wisdom to those exact questions.

Kira Reginato, CMC, is a gerontologist, certified care manager, and owner of Living Ideas for Elders, an eldercare management firm she founded in 2007. She has spent nearly two decades guiding families through aging, dementia care, housing transitions, family conflict, and the emotional weight of becoming a caregiver. Her work blends compassion, practicality, and storytelling — all with the goal of helping families make decisions with confidence instead of fear.
