Helping care for your aging parents is something you've always been willing to do BUT caring for your aging parents is WAY more than you bargained for!
You’re irritated about how your parents are always criticizing everything you do to help them.
You’re sad and guilt ridden when your dad says “I can’t believe you are going to put me in a home”.
You’re concerned that your mom is not keeping her house as tidy as she used to, but when you say anything, she becomes defensive.
You scratch your head wondering why your dad won’t take a bath and worry about how you’re going to convince him that he needs to.
You’re baffled by how unreasonable your mother is about accepting your help with her grocery shopping.
You’re frustrated that your dad will not listen to reason and let you show him how to use his computer to pay his bills.
It is maddening when your mother constantly says “This is how I have always done it” even though “it” may not be the safest way for her to do it now.
What if instead, you could have a cooperative relationship with your aging parents so you can…
keep them safe at home and in the world
talk to your parents in a way that they would listen to reason
empathize with them in a loving and authentic way
understand what is going on with the changes and behaviors you are noticing
help them maintain their dignity as they age
feel more confident in knowing which battles to pick and how to avoid power struggles

Hi, I’m Edla
My caregiving role started over ten years ago. When I signed on for this role I had no idea the emotional toll it was going to take on me.
I was working full time, married and had two kids still at home. Many days I wandered around in disbelief and on autopilot. No one was getting the best of me and I surely was not taking care of myself.
I was constantly asking my friends and colleagues about how to deal with what I sarcastically called “the behavior of the week”. I got some great ideas and some not so great ideas. Some things worked, other things did not.
I was constantly putting out fires! It was A LOT!
Once my parents passed and I was able to get a little distance from that grief I began sharing everything I learned with clients and friends.
I used my experience and training to create the One-Eighty products and programs so other adult children like you can prepare and be proactive with your own caretaking challenges.
What former group members have to say...
My mother and I have had a difficult relationship. Now as she is challenged by her loss of control and physical abilities, our relationship has become more contentious. Edla, having recently faced some of the same issues with her parents, has offered me so many strategies. The most important thing for me is that Edla constantly reminds me to take care of myself. Sometimes we forget that part.
Vickie L.
Edla's training, years as a counselor, and own personal experiences made her a fantastic resource when my father started showing the consequences of a stroke and Alzheimer’s. She understood the challenges I faced and gave me some great ideas on how to talk to my parents about some hard issues. I think one of the reasons Edla is such a great counselor is that she deeply cares about people, listens to what clients have to say, and knows how to get to the root cause of the problems.
Klaus A.
Edla is smart, funny, and relatable as she shares her step-by-step guide to managing the stressful season of elder care. I left the program feeling like I have tangible things to try next time I am struggling with an aging parent. It felt great to talk with other people going through some of the same things as me.
Adrienne A.
Edla's expertise and compassion created a safe space for sharing and learning, fostering a sense of community and understanding that I deeply appreciated. I left the session feeling empowered and equipped to navigate this journey with greater confidence and resilience.
Kristin K.
I had been feeling confused, frustrated, and lonely in my efforts to support my aging dad. The One-Eighty Program helped me to get clarity about some of the things I was experiencing and learn some strategies to make things a little easier. Edla provided a great framework for learning the information and skills and I learned from the other participants too. It was a great program and I feel much more equipped to support my dad after the program.
Brandi T.
Great program that helps to focus on solution oriented approaches to deal with the emotional and practical concerns that arise as aging parents need increased care and attention. One of the most helpful parts of the program is the reminder of how parents are just human too and how to recognize their emotional needs and concerns while being clear about your own as a caregiver. The group format is particularly helpful so that you can see that others share both similar and different situations and help to provide additional insights of how to navigate this difficult and emotional time of life.
