Did you know? Each year more than one in four older adults, age 65 and older, experience a fall, resulting in about 3 million emergency department visits, 950,000 hospitalizations and 32,000 deaths. Many of these falls are preventable. (CDC) According to a recent report from Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), falls are the leading cause of both fatal and nonfatal injuries in this age group. About 20-30 percent of these falls result in moderate to severe injuries, leading to reduced mobility, independence, and an increased risk of premature death. Shockingly, in 2019, 88 percent of older adult hip fractures were caused by falls. In this episode entitled "Safe Spaces: Navigating Fall Prevention for Aging Parents," we connect with Kisha Steineger, Certified Senior Advisor® and Senior Care Consultant of CarePatrol Northeast Kansas.

Her parents bravely left everything they knew behind to pursue a life of peace and opportunity for their family in the United States. Christina has noticed the barriers to an individual's (and their family's) emotional, social, and cultural experiences while going through complex life events.

She serves at a long-term memory care community near her home in Boulder, Colorado.

In her professional world, Andrea has seen her share of conversations between seniors, service providers, and family caregivers. In particular, when caring for an older adult, she sees how difficult it can be for others to really know what would bring that person joy and satisfaction.Getting to the bottom of what is important to an individual's feeling of independence, happiness, and well-being is often obscured by how we go about those conversations. Where family caregivers may lack training, even professional service providers frequently enter into a dialogue that makes a senior feel embarrassed, disempowered ..or even worse, uninvolved in their own care.Building on her years of nonprofit experience with seniors and their family caregivers, her own experience being cared for, and her understanding of what it means to be vital at any age - Andrea developed THE CARDS I'VE BEEN DEALT™.THE CARDS I'VE BEEN DEALT™ uses a simple card game to gently shape the dialogue between families, care networks - and the individuals they support - to uncover what is truly important to the person. The Cards prompt players to express their wishes and goals in a way that invites conversation among all parties.The goal is to use the three sets of cards to create a Life Plan that uncovers a path to joy and satisfaction in everyday living.Join Andrea and Dorian to learn more about this innovative process that is being used in case management, in hospice care, and with adult children caring for an aging parent.About Andrea Gallagher:Andrea Gallagher, CSA®, is a for-profit and nonprofit corporate leader and change agent.

Life can change in a moment, and determining when to move from home or independent living to an assisted living community can be overwhelming. This difficult situation may be lessened by starting the conversation early and often talking about what's coming down the road for an aging loved one.  For older adults and their family members and caregivers, being proactive about understanding care changes and additional support will significantly improve their quality of life. An essential first step is having conversations about care wishes and spotting the signs that more support from an assisted living community may be needed.   Tune in for insights about assisted living, including signs that your loved one may need more help and how to start the conversation. Hear about the following: Changes Paula has seen in healthcare in her experience as a Certified Senior Advisor®, especially with seniors A real-life example of an urgent situation faced by caregivers where an abrupt change of condition that occurred made it unsafe for their older adult to live independently at home Early signs that it may be time to consider additional care support Tips for caregivers to proactively start the conversation regarding care and senior living options to meet the care needs of their loved one Tips and resources on what information is needed to prepare for this journey Resources and individuals who may be able to help jumpstart and support care wishes Considerations for determining whether assisted living is an appropriate option to meet care needs as well as financial considerations Helpful resources for older adults and caregivers to access when selecting an assisted living community To view resources, show notes and access more My Care Advisors episodes, visit mycareadvisors.com.

In episode 12 of The Caregiving Soul, Dannelle speaks with Olia about empowering all family caregivers through easy access to resources and expertise in a peer-to-peer fashion. In this bonus episode, Dannelle discusses 5 components of searching for a senior care community for a loved one. 1. The Community's Reputation You want to know the reputation, licensing status, and other background information. You can also research online to check reviews and reach out to others whose loved ones live or have lived in an assisted care community. If researching online, be careful about providing personal information online to avoid being overwhelmed by marketing calls. To compare Medicare providers visit this medicare.gov link. 2. The Environment and Location of the Community Expect to tour to get a feel for the community.Keep alert for the energy and atmosphere, as well as cleanliness and upkeep. While not always possible, do your best to find a location within commuting distance for regular visits. Ask about the building's safety procedures, particularly if it's a memory care or continuing care community. 3. Eligibility and Cost Have a clear understanding of costs and the pricing system based on your loved one's needed level of care. Request details in writing. Ask about the age and care restrictions.A care professional can also help identify and navigate eligible benefits including those earned by eligible veterans that can significantly reduce the cost of care. 4. Your Loved One's Care Needs It's important to consider not only what kind of care and housing options your loved one needs right now, but how their needs may change over time. Ask about the staff – what kind of training and support do those who provide daily care receive? Are there nurses and doctors on call? How is medication distributed? What does night staffing look like? What is staff to resident ratio? 5. Culture Ask yourself: What's most important to your loved one about their environment and daily culture? For example, if they like to play mahjong, listen to Marvin Gaye, or only speak Spanish and no one in the community can relate or share those experiences, it's likely not to be a good fit. Ask about events and activities. If there's an opportunity, speak with current residents to see how they like living there. You may also consider asking the staff about how to introduce potential friends with similar interests. Consider working with a certified senior advisor, a placement specialist, or another care professional who can provide detailed options based on your needs and preferences. Most reputable placement specialists will not charge a fee from you or your care partner because they're paid by the community.

Dannelle speaks with Olia Davis, a Certified Senior Advisor. In this episode, Olia shares what we need to know about the difficult decision-making process of finding the right senior care facility for your loved one and the resources available to help make these decisions. Olia and Dannelle also talk about how to empower our seniors to take part in seeking out the right care community for them. “When she moved her to a residential care home, now when she comes, she is spending time with her grandmother. She doesn't have to worry about all those other things... it's a completely different interaction. It's no longer task oriented. It's more emotional because all that stress and all those other things you have to worry about are gone.” - Olia Davis Timestamps02:26 - Olia's three core values and how they connect to working with older adults and caregiving 04:06 - Signs that a senior may need more help with care and possibly a community care living situation 07:05 - Having conversations with loved ones about moving to a senior living facility 10:19 - Finding the right community for your loved one 17:41 - Support for caregivers of seniors 20:36 - Options for affording care for seniors 24:21 - The benefits of long-term care facilities 26:48- What Olia is passionate about outside of her work with older adults and families Takeaway Learnings1) A hard decision, like moving a loved one to a care facility, begins with a conversation involving everyone concerned. Moving is known to be one of the most stressful life transitions. So, even when we make care decisions for someone who isn't independently capable, including them in the process whenever, and to the extent, possible helps make better choices and lessens the stress of transition. 2) Take time to understand the different options to make a more informed decision with your loved one, when possible, about what kind of community makes sense based on current and future level of care needs, cost, location, staff, and community policies, and other factors that may be important to your loved one's quality of life. 3) Consulting a senior care advisor can help narrow the field of best options that work for your situation with less stress. Actionable Tips1) We can't always check in in person, so it's important to be aware of potential signs that a loved one needs more help if they live alone or have infrequent visitors. Some of those warning signs may include: weight loss, a change in hygiene habits, memory loss, unpaid bills, or unopened mail, and increased isolation. 2) The considerable cost of care is a key variable for most of us when choosing a senior community. It's important to fully review, as best we can, what financial resources and benefits may be available to help cover the cost of both in-home and community care, such as Veterans Aid and Attendance, long term care insurance, personal savings, or other resources. A good place to learn about financial options for long term care is paying for SeniorCare.com. [00:46:00] 3) Navigating eligibility and applying for potential care benefits can be complicated. So, it's wise to seek guidance from a professional, like a financial advisor specializing in long-term care, a VA pensions manager, a benefits counselor at your local Area on Aging, or other long-term care professional.

Dannelle speaks with Jenn Chan, CEO & Founder of the Senior Shower® Project. In this episode, Jenn shares her story of caring for her grandmother as a young adult and how her caregiving experience has deeply informed her current work. You'll learn about compassion fatigue and caregiver burnout, as well as how to celebrate and support caregivers. Jenn and Dannelle also discuss seeking out spaces and connecting with others who are in a similar caregiving position to help you feel supported. “The dynamic of who your loved one used to be - do you want to hold on to that or do you want to let that go and do you want to be present? It's your time, make the best choice of the time that you have, and all your feelings are valid.” – Jenn Chan Timestamps3:02 Jenn's 3 core values 7:56 Caregiving as a young adult compared to an older age group 10:37 The best resources for younger caregivers 13:35 What is anticipatory grief? 17:45 How did Jenn come up with the Senior Shower® Project? 21:38 What is Jenn currently passionate about? Takeaway Learnings1. Millennial caregivers generally walk a very different journey than older counterparts. Many are holding off or limiting dating, career, social life, and personal goals while taking care of a loved one. 2. Creating connections with other young caregivers is so important for emotional health. Finding support groups, educational workshops, and community resources can help develop self-care routines and navigate unfamiliar caregiving territory. 3. Although it affects many, anticipatory grief can be hard to put a finger on. It can manifest as anger, sadness, frustration, or a loss of control. Being able to name it and identify the loss (of personal time, career opportunity, social life, etc.) in that moment can clarify the root of our emotions. With clarity, we can begin to accept what we cannot change. Actionable Tips1. Seek out spaces – whether virtual or in person - that help you feel less alone. A supportive friendship, young caregivers group, or educational workshop are a few ways to consider building the kind of connections that keep us in balance. 2. Invest in what helps you feel better (physically, emotionally, spiritually) to care for yourself. It might not look the same as it did before caregiving, but you're worthy of being looked after, too. 3. Celebrate the caregivers in your life! Jenn has created the Senior Shower® Project to lift up and honor caregivers and caregiverhood. Let's act on showing how much we appreciate the work of caregiving. About Jenn Chan, CSA®, CCC™Jenn Chan, CSA®, CCC™, is the CEO & Founder of Senior Shower® Project, a startup gift shop with a mission to celebrate family caregivers of older adults with a party.

He's walked this road before and takes a holistic approach in sharing his perspective and support as he advises unpaid family caregivers.
