As summer draws to a close around Lake Minnetonka, family life undergoes a familiar, fast-paced transition. Yellow school buses return to the roads, autumn calendars fill with sports practices and after-school routines, and work schedules accelerate. For many adult children in our community, this annual shift brings an unexpected challenge: having significantly less time to care for aging parents.

During the summer, dropping by Mom or Dad’s house in Excelsior to assist with laundry, prepare meals, or run errands might have fit into a flexible afternoon. But when back-to-school season arrives, balancing your own household’s demanding timeline alongside an aging parent’s daily needs can quickly lead to caregiver burnout.

You shouldn’t have to choose between being there for your children and ensuring your parents stay safe, healthy, and supported in the home they love.
