What is Our Elephant in the Room Series?

December 28, 2022

To cap off an amazing year, we’re taking this opportunity to go down memory lane. Throughout 2022, we created a blog post each month to discuss some of the more challenging topics that accompany aging.

Our Elephant in the Room Series addressed complex issues and provided recommendations on navigating various challenges, from urinary tract infections to dementia. We tackled the tough stuff with the hope that it would reach and offer comfort to our readers.

We’re all different and facing unique matters. We may need advice, but sometimes asking for it or speaking openly about it can be difficult. The Elephant in the Room was specifically designed for those things we want to talk about that might not be so easily said aloud. We hope that readers, whether connected to Edgewood or not, have access to resources for themselves or their loved ones.
