Podcasts about age friendly

We often hear from CC Linstroth about Age Friendly on KYMN Radio, but today we focus on her and her story, as the recipient of this year's Joseph Lee Heywood Distinguished Service Award. 

How can we improve care for older adults while supporting their independence and dignity? In this episode, we speak with Ellen Flaherty, PhD, MSN, APRN, vice president of the Dartmouth Health Geriatric Center of Excellence, about the 4 M’s of age-friendly care: what matters, medication, mind, and mobility. She shares how older adults can advocate for their needs, why proper medication management is vital, and what red flags caregivers should watch for, including delirium and cognitive changes. We also explore the importance of staying active and resources like the My Health Checklist, a workbook to help adults 65+ prepare for healthcare visits. Discover how the 4 M’s can guide more personalized care that honors each person’s goals. Check out The John A.

Not because they've lost interest, but because the tech feels too fast, too small, too alien. As the world grows older, maybe it's time to stop asking them to adapt—and start building tech that adapts to them. On the show: Heyang, Steve Hatherly & Ding Heng

Despite decades of progress in geriatric care, too many older adults still struggle to receive the reliable, evidence-based care they deserve. In this episode, Dr. Terry Fulmer, President of the John A. Hartford Foundation, and Faith Mitchell, an Institute Fellow at the Urban Institute, discuss the development of age-friendly health systems and the ongoing challenges in ensuring older adults receive high-quality, evidence-based care. Dr. Fulmer highlights the "four M's" framework (What Matters, Medications, Mentation, and Mobility) as a way to simplify and scale age-friendly practices, benefiting over 4 million older adults in the U.S. Sustained partnerships, government initiatives, and long-term philanthropic support have been essential in spreading this movement globally. Equity and accountability are central, ensuring all health care staff contribute to reliable, harm-free care for every older adult, regardless of background. While challenges like increasing diversity and system coordination persist, there is optimism in innovations like AI and a growing commitment to improving care for aging populations.

Announced at the 8th annual awards on 7th November, the winning campaigns were chosen for their exceptional contribution to making Ireland an outstanding place to grow older.

In today's rapidly evolving marketplace, being an age-friendly business is not just a nice-to-have—it's a game-changer. But what exactly does it mean to be age-friendly? It means tailoring your business to meet the needs of the new consumer majority: people over the age of 40, the group holding the most wealth in our society today. In our latest episode of "This is Getting Old," we dive deep into what it takes to create an age-friendly environment that truly resonates with this demographic. As we age, we all experience changes—some normal, like squinting at a receipt, and others that may lead to situations of disability.

Join us as we explore practical steps and insights on how to make your business a welcoming place for everyone, regardless of age or ability. Whether you're a business owner, a caregiver, or simply curious about creating more inclusive spaces, this episode could be the key to unlocking new opportunities for your business. #ThisIsGettingOld #MelissaBPhd #Podcast #Health #AgeFriendly #Business #Innovation #Inclusive #HealthyAging #BusinessTips
