If your parent recently had a stroke and now struggles to speak, understand, or find words—they may be living with aphasia. And you’re likely wondering: How do I help them?

In this video, I explain what aphasia is, how it affects stroke survivors—especially seniors—and the practical steps you can take to help your parent regain confidence and connection. You’ll also hear a true story of a Bay Area family I helped find the right housing and care for their dad after a stroke changed everything.

💬 Whether you’re caregiving, making housing decisions, or just trying to communicate again—this episode is for you.
