Today's guest is Jay Colburn, Vice President of Long Term Care Services at York General. Jay's journey into healthcare leadership is rooted in a deep respect for community, quality of life, and the belief that aging should come with dignity, independence, and support. Under his leadership, York General is not only growing its facilities but also expanding the vision of what long-term care can and should be. From infrastructure investments to strategic care models, Jay is helping redefine aging in place—and what it means to grow older in a community that values its people. 

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Jill Couch as guest to the show.   About Jill Couch:   Jill's grandmother is her inspiration; her dad was her teacher. Both passed from this life with dementia. The DAWN Method taught Jill how to get it right with her dad. Jill is an Occupational Therapist who saw a different way to help in dementia when she began learning the DAWN Method.   About Better People Care LLC:   Jill founded Better People Care in 2018 when she began experiencing how the tools of the DAWN Method were helping her provide the right kind of care for folks experiencing dementia. Now, she and her team bring help and hope for many families in Northern Colorado. In addition, we specialize in training and coaching in the DAWN Method, care management, and healthcare advocacy for people living throughout the United States.   About the DAWN Method:   Here at the Dementia & Alzheimer's Wellbeing Network® (DAWN®), we've discovered something really special. We've found that although our clients lose some cognitive skills, they never lose all their skills. In fact, with dementia, we keep our primary thinking skills and continue to live in the present—fully able to enjoy beauty, positive emotions and companionship.   There are strengths in dementia, and both you and your loved one will benefit when you understand how to provide strength-based care. You will be able to keep your loved one home longer, with fewer conflicts, and your family will have less stress and expense. What they believe: We believe in preserving dignity and autonomy through aging in place for as long as possible. We do this by training families and caregivers to recognize and meet the emotional needs caused by dementia, how to support the cognitive skills their loved ones lose, and how to work with the skills they'll keep.   The seven tools of the DAWN Method® of dementia care:   The tools of the DAWN Method of dementia care: 1. Mood management, 2. Security in Confusion, 3. Security in Care, 4. Social Success, 5. Sense of Control, 6. Sense of Value, 7. Secure Future (in flower shape)   The first three DAWN tools are techniques for caregivers to help their loved ones regain a sense of security. Feeling secure is the most basic human need; we cannot relax if we don't feel safe. The last four tools help caregivers enhance their loved one's sense of contentment (“wellbeing”).   When caregivers use the first three DAWN tools, their loved ones learn that they can still be safe, and become more emotionally stable. With the last four DAWN tools, caregivers are equipped to restore and enhance their loved ones' sense of comfort in moments when discomfort looms.   The model or metaphor that best describes how the tools of the DAWN Method work together is the DAWN flower:   The DAWN flower shows the emotional needs created by dementia as a feedback loop—with the first DAWN tool, mood management, at its center. Mood management is central to being proactive and providing strength-based dementia care, because when someone loses their memory and thinking skills, they have lost the very skills we normally use to manage our own moods.   Their companions have become their mood managers, whether they realize it or not. Learning how to proactively create positive moods is the first tool of the DAWN Method, and one that enriches both care partners for the rest of their lives.   Once caregivers know how to create and maintain positive moods, they can help their loved ones learn an enduring sense of security in the two areas most vital to those undergoing cognitive impairment: learning that they can be safe even when confused, and learning that they can be safe accepting help from others.   The four components of wellbeing are much simpler. Someone can be given the gift of contentment (wellbeing) in moments and, if someone or something takes it away, their care partner can restore it in moments. With dementia, we have no need to learn contentment, because we never lose the skills we need to enjoy what others bring to us.   Once care partners are working with all seven of the DAWN tools, the relationship between them and their loved ones becomes marked by contentment and beauty rather than conflict and distress.

With limited affordable options, many older adults are searching for ways to stay in their homes while staying connected. Enter home sharing—a creative and growing solution that allows older adults to share space, reduce expenses, and build meaningful relationships. In this episode, we explore how home sharing works, who it benefits, and what it means for the future of aging in place.

Send us a textWhat happens when a doctor of physical therapy who swore he'd never work with older adults discovers his true calling in senior care? Matt Hansen, Executive Director of the Home Care and Hospice Association of Utah, takes us on his remarkable journey from pediatric specialist to passionate advocate for quality home-based care.Matt reveals how his perspective dramatically shifted when he recognized the profound similarities between life's bookends—young children and seniors often share the clearest understanding of what truly matters in life. Through candid storytelling, he challenges some of our most deeply held assumptions about caring for aging loved ones, particularly the belief that families should handle everything themselves.The conversation tackles head-on the uncomfortable reality that well-intentioned family caregiving often fundamentally changes relationships. When adult children become caregivers, they frequently stop being daughters or sons in the same way. Professional support can preserve these precious family dynamics while ensuring comprehensive care.Perhaps most provocatively, Matt questions the inheritance mindset that prevents seniors from utilizing their life savings for quality care. "The money my parents saved is there to take care of them," he emphasizes. "The greatest inheritance they've given me isn't financial—it's values, work ethic, and love."Looking toward the future, Matt shares his optimism about emerging technologies that promise to transform home care. From non-wearable sensors that monitor vital signs through mattresses to AI systems that streamline documentation, these innovations may help address the serious staffing and reimbursement challenges facing the industry.For anyone considering home care for a loved one—or as a career path—this episode offers invaluable perspective. As Matt beautifully states, entering someone's home to provide care isn't just a job; it's stepping onto "sacred ground" where you might be their only advocate for maintaining independence and dignity.• Moving from pediatrics to geriatrics after initially being reluctant to work with older adults• The misconception that families can handle senior care alone without professional support• How family relationships change when relatives become caregivers instead of maintaining their primary roles• Challenging the mindset that saved money should be preserved as inheritance rather than used for quality care• The funding challenges facing home care with Medicare Advantage plans paying significantly less than traditional Medicare• Technology innovations making aging in place safer, including non-invasive monitoring systems and AI-assisted documentation• Utah's surprising statistic of over 450,000 family caregivers, many who don't identify as caregivers• The sacred responsibility of working in someone's home and serving as their advocateSupport the show

Marcy Sagel, Founder and President of MSA Interiors, recently sat down with us to chat with us about what goes into designing for aging in place and some key design strategies to think about when it comes to senior living.

I hate to break it to you, but we all are getting older. And many of us have older parents and loved ones as well. When it comes time to care for an aging parent or loved one, one of the best choices may be to age-in-place in a familiar home--their own. Enter Interim Healthcare - Annapolis. Today, we speak with Art Dandridge who is the owner of Interim Healthcare - Annapolis headquartered right on Bay Ridge Avenue. We cover a lot of ground about aging in place-from the obvious benefits to the level of care they can provide. We learned that Interim Healthcare can handle a rehab assignment just as easily as they can a 24-7 situation. Maybe you just need a periodic well-check and organizational visit for mom or dad--Interim Healthcare can handle that as well. It is a real peace of mind for a child that may not be local. All of this is handled by a small army of CNAs and GNAs (employees, not contractors) who are overseen by a team of four RNs. And while honest, respectful, and competent care are the hallmarks of Interim Healthcare, they are quickly followed by effective communications. But enough of this... Have a listen!

Have you ever thought about what it truly takes to age safely and comfortably in your own home—or to help a loved one do the same? As we or our parents age, simple things like stairs, bathrooms, and even lighting can become a hazard. But with the right modifications and a little planning, staying independent at home is more possible than ever.Today, we're diving into the world of aging in place with someone who has dedicated his career to making homes safer and more accessible. My guest, Greg Cantori, has decades of experience in construction, nonprofit leadership, and aging-in-place solutions. He's the founder of Little Deeds, a company that specializes in home safety and accessibility, and he's here to share practical advice on what families can do to create a safer living environment.We'll be covering everything from common home hazards to smart technology solutions, DIY fixes versus professional upgrades, and we'll even learn more about some of the costs and government agencies that might be able to help.

Only 5% of homes in the U.S. are moderately accessible. Stairways, sunken living rooms, poorly designed bathrooms, and trip hazards are just the start.    Greg Cantore's journey has spanned bicycle mechanics to defense work and leading nonprofit programs. But his mother-in-law's experience living in a house that wasn't designed for her needs opened his eyes to the bigger issue.   After modifying her home, and later adjusting to her needs in assisted living, Greg realized there was a larger need for accessible, supportive home solutions. Today, he runs Little Deeds, a company dedicated to making homes safer and more accessible for aging individuals.   Your home should support you as you age. Find out how Greg is helping make that a reality for so many.

Many people want to age in place — to stay in their own homes and maintain their independence as they get older. But it takes planning, tough conversations, and sometimes, a complete shift in expectations. What happens when a parent's needs change? How do families navigate decisions about safety, finances and caregiving while still honoring their loved one's independence? And when multiple family members are involved, how do you share responsibilities without creating tension?MPR News guest host Kelly Gordon and her guests discuss the pros and cons of aging in place, what to plan for and the conversations we should be having when it comes to taking care of a loved one as they get older. Guests: Archelle Georgiou is a physician, TV medical correspondent and author of the book “Healthcare Choices: 5 Steps to Getting the Medical Care You Want and Need.”Dawn Simonson is the CEO and President of Trellis, a nonprofit organization focused on helping older adults in Minnesota age well through advocacy and support.

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, Nancy Griffin interviews Dr. Pamela Toto, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Department of Occupational Therapy and director of the Pitt Healthy Home Lab. They discuss optimal aging in place, the role of occupational therapy in helping older adults live independently, and the innovative projects and technologies being developed to support this mission. Pam shares insights on the significance of home environments, the balance between safety and independence, and the need for early planning in aging. About PamPamela Toto, PhD, OTR/L, BCG, FAOTA. FGSA is an occupational therapist, a Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and the Director of the Healthy Home Laboratory – a community laboratory that brings the best science into home settings to maximize independence, health, and safety. Board Certified in Gerontology and a Fellow of the American Occupational Therapy Association and the Gerontological Society of America, Dr. Toto's interests focus on implementing effective strategies in everyday settings to promote aging in place. She is currently the Primary Investigator for a Technical Studies grant funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Studies determining how best to integrate smart technologies into existing community-based home modification programs. Key TakeawaysThe Healthy Home Lab focuses on interprofessional collaboration to support aging adults. Professionals include nurses, social workers, engineers, occupational and physical therapists, physicians, and physician assistants.Aging in place is about more than just living in a house; it's about participating in meaningful activities and being part of a community.Home retrofitting is best achieved through small, manageable changes rather than major renovations. Intervening early in the aging process can prevent larger issues and is often more cost-effective.Lighting improvements are one of the simplest and most effective changes for aging in place.Risk management is essential; older adults should have the right to make choices about their living environment.Occupational therapists are trained to help people across the lifespan with activities of daily living and help people maximize their bodies and minds.

Independent living, assisted living, memory care -- the terminology alone can be overwhelming. We wade through the many senior housing options when aging in place at home is no longer an option, with our conversation from January for Aging Matters on Colorado Matters. Then, for Black History Month, we revisit an exhibit at the Museum of Boulder that showcases Colorado's Black history. It runs through September.
