How Caring for Her Mom Inspired Vicky McGrath’s Business
Description
What do you do when a deeply personal heartbreak opens the door to your life’s next purpose?
After watching her mother decline from Alzheimer’s and seeing her father struggle as the primary caregiver, Vicky McGrath realized how many families were navigating aging and dementia completely overwhelmed and unsupported. Instead of saying “someone should help,” she became the person who did.
In this episode, Vicky shares how she started a senior home care business in her 40s with zero healthcare experience and built a company that now supports hundreds of seniors and families across Ontario.
This conversation is honest, emotional, practical, and deeply relevant for anyone caring for aging parents or wondering if it’s too late to start over.
In this episode:
• The early signs of dementia families often miss
• Why caregiving can feel so isolating
• The importance of having a care plan before a crisis
• What families need to know about aging at home
• Starting a meaningful business later in life
• Why your hardest experiences can become your purpose
