The Care Advocates is brought to you by the All Home Care Matters Media team and focuses on providing family caregivers and their loved ones with support, resources, and discussion on the issues facing them in the matrix of long-term care.   The Care Advocates is hosted by Lance A. Slatton & Dr. George Ackerman, also known as Sharon's son George.   The Care Advocates are honored to welcome the sisters from "Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver" J.J. Elliott Hill & Natalie Elliott Handy as guests to the show.   About J.J. Elliott Hill, MBA:   J.J. is a finance executive turned entrepreneur, caregiver advocate, and podcast co-host. With over 17 years in commercial banking, she advised small to mid-sized businesses on strategic growth, asset management, and navigating regulatory and merger transitions. But in 2013, a corporate downsizing shifted her trajectory—leading her to co-found three startups spanning retail, manufacturing, and real estate.   In 2023, J.J. co-founded the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver podcast to raise awareness for the 53 million Americans caring for loved ones—just like she has done since 2019 for her mother, a 22-year Parkinson's patient. What began as a personal story has grown into a global caregiving platform, with over 300,000 monthly downloads and listeners in 54 countries. Today, Confessions is more than a podcast—it's a movement, offering training, keynote speaking, and advocacy that centers and elevates the caregiver voice.   In 2024, J.J. brought that same strategic mindset to the caregiving space as co-founder and CFO of CareForward, a public benefit company dedicated to supporting caregivers and the communities around them through technology-driven solutions and volunteer networks.   She holds a B.A. in Economics from Hollins College and an MBA in Executive Management from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. J.J. is a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) and is completing her certification as a Caregiving Consultant, Educator, and Facilitator through The Caregiving Years Academy.   About Natalie Elliott Handy, MSW:   Natalie is a seasoned healthcare executive with over 25 years of experience in health and human services. She is the CEO of CareForward, a technology-driven platform that connects individuals in crisis with volunteers and partner organizations to meet urgent, short-term needs and improve long-term outcomes. Natalie is also the CEO of Handy Innovative Solutions, a consulting firm focused on trauma-informed, evidence-based strategies for child welfare and behavioral health systems, specializing in transitioning high-acuity youth from congregate care into stable, family-based placements.   Natalie co-hosts the global podcast Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver with her sister, JJ Elliott-Hill. The show, ranked in the top 5% of podcasts globally and streamed in over 54 countries with 300K+ monthly downloads and streams, brings authenticity, humor, and hope to caregiving conversations. Through storytelling, education, and advocacy, the podcast provides a supportive space for caregivers worldwide.   A passionate advocate, Natalie has served in leadership roles across mental health, foster care, and healthcare systems, including CEO of multiple psychiatric treatment facilities and VP of Government Affairs at Health Connect America. She speaks nationally on caregiving, crisis response, and community solutions.   Learn more about the Self-Care at Sea Cruise: Official Website: https://www.funseas.com/self-care

On September 3rd, Hiroyuki Nishimura (48), founder and former administrator of the online forum “2channel,” shared his personal views on why wages in the nursing care industry do not rise, during his podcast ‘Hiroyuki's Killing Time Radio'. When asked, “I work in nursing care, why don't wages go up?” Hiroyuki responded bluntly: “They don't go up because it's a job paid from taxes.” He added, “I understand that nursing care work is very tough. Let's set that aside. The reality is that nursing care is work that even people without prior experience can do. Of course, there are skills involved, but fundamentally, it's a job that can be done by people without experience.” Episode notes: ‘“That's ridiculous”: 2channel founder on why salary of Japanese caregivers doesn't exceed average annual income': https://barrierfreejapan.com/2025/09/07/thats-ridiculous-2channel-founder-on-why-salary-of-japanese-caregivers-doesnt-exceed-average-annual-income/

What if you could communicate telepathically with someone living with advanced Alzheimer's? Dan Goerke discovered this extraordinary connection with his wife Denise after conventional conversation became impossible. In this episode, Dan reveals how their mental bond transformed his caregiving approach and ultimately led him to become a powerful advocate for Alzheimer's research.Perhaps most touching is Dan's compassionate philosophy: "Let her do it." When Denise would wander the neighborhood with scissors, pruning neighbors' flowers without permission, Dan instructed caregivers not to stop her. Rather than imposing restrictions, he recognized these creative moments brought her rare joy in a disease that progressively steals happiness. This perspective offers a powerful lesson for all caregivers—sometimes the greatest compassion lies in allowing freedom rather than control.From following behind his wife's car to detect unsafe driving patterns to navigating bathroom challenges with humor and patience, Dan's honest account of caregiving's frustrations and unexpected gifts resonates deeply. His journey from anger to advocacy demonstrates how channeling emotion into action can create meaningful change not just for one family, but for millions affected by Alzheimer's.Ready to transform your own caregiving approach or join the fight against Alzheimer's?

Caregiving often hides what I call smoldering rage—resentment that simmers quietly until a fresh crisis ignites it like a wildfire. In this week's Hope for the Caregiver radio show, I open with a monologue about those hidden embers, drawing from Montana's fire season to show how caregivers can confront resentment and apply God's grace before it consumes us. The program closes with a hymn every caregiver needs: “Be Still, My Soul.” Gracie's a cappella performance of this timeless hymn reminds us that God's faithfulness steadies us when caregiving feels unbearable and that the daily grind of service is, in fact, holy work. This episode also features excerpts from my conversation with author and fellow caregiver Jess Ronne, whose story of loss, resilience, and faith offers a powerful reminder that we're not alone in this journey.

Betsy Wurzel's guest today is Dr. Marc Sapir, author of I'll Fly Away: Stories of Disabled Elders. In this inspiring interview, Dr. Sapir shares why he gave his book the title I'll Fly Away, drawn from the 1929 song about freedom. He explains how the theme of freedom connects deeply with the lives of elderly and disabled individuals—social beings who deserve respect, autonomy, and dignity.During their conversation, Betsy and Dr. Sapir explored the PACE model program for elderly and disabled individuals, which recognizes them as cultural beings who should be supported in living meaningful lives. They discussed how music plays a vital role in bringing joy, connection, and healing, and why being socially active is essential for well-being.Another important topic they covered was end-of-life care. Dr. Sapir stressed how crucial it is to make your wishes known through a medical directive, ensuring that family or friends honor those decisions—even if they might disagree. He emphasized that, for many people, quality of life matters more than quantity.Dr. Sapir also shared stories of individuals featured in I'll Fly Away: Stories of Disabled Elders, reflecting on the lessons he has learned from his experiences. He spoke about how aging often brings physical and mental challenges, but reminded us that we must always treat the elderly with respect and dignity.The interview also touched on how healthcare systems can better support the aging population by recognizing their unique needs and providing programs that nurture independence and self-worth. About Dr. Marc SapirDr. Marc Sapir is a retired primary care, geriatric, and public health physician. He is also an essayist, playwright, fiction writer, poet, musician, and political activist. Dr. Sapir was the first Medical Director of the Center for Elders' Independence, serving disabled elders for nine years. He also previously worked with the United Farm Workers and was a panel member of the Mad as Hell Doctors for Single Payer Health Care.A graduate of Brandeis University and Stanford Medical School, Dr. Sapir also holds a Master's Degree in Public Health Epidemiology from the University of California, Berkeley.Betsy's RecommendationBetsy Wurzel highly recommends I'll Fly Away: Stories of Disabled Elders.

Matt Lynch, CTO and co-founder of Sage, joins the show to share how his team is using modern technology to transform elderly care. From rethinking outdated nurse call systems to capturing real-time data that improves both patient safety and caregiver retention, Matt breaks down the technical and human challenges of modernizing this critical industry. This is a story of mission-driven innovation, scale, and the surprising role data plays in quality of life.Key Takeaways• The aging population is outpacing caregiver availability, creating an urgent need for tech-driven solutions.• Most facilities still rely on fragmented or low-quality data, making it difficult to improve care.• Real-time documentation and streamlined workflows give caregivers credit for their work and reduce burnout.• New technology can deliver results at a fraction of the cost of outdated systems.• Adoption succeeds when tech is simple, resident-driven, and seamlessly fits into caregiver routines.Timestamped Highlights00:34 — Why Sage was founded: the gaps in elderly care tech that inspired three co-founders04:36 — The looming scale problem: a 40% surge in the aging population with flat caregiver growth06:56 — How poor data practices erode care quality—and what synchronous documentation changes12:05 — Why old systems cost 10x more and how modern tools flip the economics18:06 — Giving caregivers proof of their work and reducing turnover with better data21:54 — Lessons in building: why focusing on workflow software beat hardware reinventionA line worth remembering“Caregivers finally get credit for the work they're doing—and that completely changes how families and facilities work together.”Pro TipStart simple.

So many people want a long term care plan with all the bells and whistles.  They want a plan that will pay for everything that could ever happen.  These plans are often priced higher than a budget allows. Why do people state that they want no coverage if they can't get the best plan out there? We don't do this anywhere but with LTC insurance. Do we not own a car because we can't afford a Tesla? No. Do we not eat because we can't afford the steak? No. When I work wit you, we work together to determine how much risk is both acceptable and affordable. There are plans offered to people on a stricter budget.  There are plans that accept medical concerns that other plans don't accept.  There are plans offered to age 89 in some states. Listen and then scheudle some time to work through this together

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome AlzAuthors and filmmakers to discuss the upcoming AlzAuthors Film Festival.   About the Filmmakers and their Films:   Sept 8: Mary Crescenzo and her film, “Planet A”   Synopsis: Planet A   Planet A reveals the good, bad, and ugly secrets, thoughts and frustrations of past lives and present realities of Alzheimer's patients, their caregivers and family members. Follow Pauline and others who reside at a care home, when an arts practitioner working with residents unlocks the door to this world through an interwoven narrative of monologues and dialogs from distinct points of view. Planet A bears witness to both inhabitants and visitors who enter this terrain and shines a light in the darkness of this disease. Enter this land of revelation and unintentional masquerade where anyone can be called to reside.   Sept 22: Susie Singer Carter and her film, “No Country For Old People”   Synopsis: “No Country For Old People”   A filmmaker chronicles her mother's last 6 months in a 5-star nursing home exposing the systemic, deadly, profit-over-people business model. No Country For Old People is a scorching documentary posed to set the long term care industry, policy makers, and the country ablaze. Shining a much-needed light on what is truly a national human emergency, it is a clarion call for serious change.   October 6th: Frank Silverstein and his film “Lousy: Love in the Time of Dementia”   Synopsis: LOUSY: Love in the Time of Dementia   LOUSY: Love in the Time of Dementia is a front-row seat to ground-game dementia: its impact on my parents' life and our family's response. My parents cling to each other— singing, shouting and dancing— defying a world that overwhelms them. This film documents how their love helps them cope with their dementia and each other, and explores how this reality has restructured our family connections to each other and to the world. Full of painful humor and raw emotion, the film watches our family responding in real time, as we are forced to revise our relationships and rules for engagement on the fly.   November 10th: Kitty Norton and her documentary "Wine, Women, and Dementia"   Synopsis: "Wine, Women, and Dementia:   The documentary feature, Wine, Women, & Dementia, tells the tale of dementia life through the lens of the family caregivers who strive to accept the beauty and the brutality, the hilarious and the horrific - for themselves and their dementia person.
