Created for families of aging loved one, the The Grey Take offers a fresh, fearless, and often funny perspective on one of life's most complex journeys: caregiving. The podcast dives headfirst into the grey areas families face when caring for aging loved ones, because life—and aging—isn't black and white.

Since its launch, The Grey Take has connected with caregivers and aging experts across the country through candid conversations, practical advice, and relatable stories. Building on the momentum of its first season, Brookdale is expanding the podcast experience by introducing video episodes, giving audiences a new way to engage with hosts and guests through YouTube and Spotify.

"Season One confirmed what we believed from the start: that caregivers are looking for authentic conversations, practical guidance, and a community that understands what they're going through," Brookdale Chief Marketing Officer David Cygan said. "We're excited to continue growing The Grey Take in Season 2 and beyond, while expanding access through video so even more people can connect with these important stories and conversations."

Season One featured episodes such as:

• "Take Time for Yourself: Caregiver Exhaustion"
• "Affording Senior Living: What You Need to Know"
• "Our Take on Senior Romance & Dating"
• "How to Help Without Taking Over"

Now entering Season Two, The Grey Take continues to expand the conversation with new guests, new perspectives, and, for the first time, full video episodes available on YouTube and Spotify. Episode 21, "Signs It's Time for Assisted Living," kicks off the new season by helping families recognize when additional support may be needed and how to navigate that transition with confidence and compassion

Listeners can continue to be part of the conversation through The Grey Take hotline, where caregivers can call or text to share stories, ask questions, or suggest topics for future episodes. The number is 1-833-GREYTXT (1-833-473-9898).

New episodes of The Grey Take are available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
