She discusses practical steps—like posting reminders for caregivers, switching to an electric toothbrush, and exploring mobile dental services—to ensure loved ones keep their teeth healthy and avoid unnecessary dentures. To close, she lightens the mood with the Song of the Week: “Can You Picture That?” by Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, a joyful throwback from The Muppets.
In this episode of Sandwich Stories, Lexie Callies breaks down the real costs of her mother’s current memory care facility in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, sharing how daily rates, rent increases, and add-on care like incontinence support quickly add up to jaw-dropping totals.
She reflects on the financial realities of long-term care, the importance of staying vigilant about loved ones’ care, and the tough truth that even well-prepared families eventually face limits. To wrap up, Lexie lightens the moment with the Song of the Week: “Lemonade” by Forrest Frank, recommended by her friend Jeremy.
