Have you ever thought about starting a coaching-based private practice? You're going to love this episode! I sat down with Emily Gavin who decided to take the leap into private practice with encouragement from her peers and spouse after being laid off from her job.In this episode, she talks about her journey from SNFs and inpatient rehab to owning her own dementia-focused business. Emily shares how caring for her mother-in-law with dementia inspired her special interest. Emily S. Gavin, MS, OTR/L, came to occupational therapy as a second career in 2012 at the age of 41. After a few years of clinical work in geriatrics, she transitioned into a management position at a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in Philadelphia, PA. This non-traditional setting allowed her the freedom to develop specialized knowledge in dementia care training, though she always felt the vulnerability of being a middle manager. Being laid off in May of 2023 seemed like the perfect time to start PhillyCare Coaching LLC, the private practice she'd always thought of as the next thing.Emily hopes to complete her Post-Professional OTD at Thomas Jefferson University in late 2025. She has also earned an Advanced Practice Certificate in Coaching, and will soon be a certified practitioner of Skills2Care®, an evidence-based program supporting caregivers of people living with dementia. She uses the Allen Cognitive Disabilities Model to inform her treatment plans.Emily lives in the Germantown section of Philadelphia with her wife and four cats. Someday she will have time to knit again.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:The moment that brought Emily to become an OT and start a private practiceWhen she realized her passion for dementia patientsHow she kicked imposter syndrome to the curbHow long it took Emily to get her first private practice clientThe types of clients Emily works withHow she networked to grow her private practiceThe power of referrals in growing your private practiceI hope you enjoyed this episode with Emily!

Those wishing to make a public comment on “Medicaid Program; Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Managed Care Access, Finance, and Quality,” a proposed rule by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, may do so here. Dr. Heaphy's slides are available here. This webinar will discuss the work of Dennis Heaphy on spiritual care in healthcare settings for individuals who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare coverage. It emphasizes the importance of coding chaplaincy services for these populations, particularly those enrolled in capitated care plans. Adapted from Heaphy's recent article in Health Affairs: Spiritual services are an oft neglected but important part of comprehensive care. While CMS and its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (the Innovation Center) have taken significant steps in the right direction, CMS could require providers in the Fully Integrated Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans (FIDE SNPs) and Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to provide enrollees with spiritual assessments and spiritual care as optional services. We are joined by: Dennis Heaphy, DMin, MPG, MDiv, MEd joined the Disability Policy Consortium (DPC) in 2008. He engages in Community-Based Participatory Action Research and is also a policy analyst. He promotes legislation and policies at the state and federal level that positively impact social determinants of health. These and other barriers lead to inequities in healthcare access and outcomes for people with disabilities and ethnic and minority populations. Mr. Heaphy is active with the Massachusetts Public Health Association and Health Care for All, developing strategies to increase the utilization of public-health principles in the development, implementation and evaluation of healthcare policies. He is also active in a number of policy initiatives at the national level that increase the voices of persons most impacted by negative social determinants of health and gaps in access to home and community-based services. Mr. Heaphy is also interested in the role of spirituality and spiritual care in improving wellness and health outcomes for persons with disabilities. *** We thank our sponsor for this webinar, Interfaith America.

On this revisited episode of Beyond the Balance Sheet, we are joined by guest Anna Hall, the creator of The Purpose Equation®. Throughout this episode, we discuss the importance of purpose and defining your how and your why. Anna breaks down what purpose is, and how people can go about finding their purpose through her signature equation. Anna says that  knowing your purpose equation can determine how to move through life. She  believes people's purpose(s) can shift throughout their lifetime through different milestones. Later in the episode, Anna provides excellent advice for parents supporting their children to determine the child's purpose by getting  curious about their interests. Tune in today to learn about individual purpose and how to create meaning and joy in everyday life.     IN THIS EPISODE:     [1:50] What does the word “purpose” mean?   [3:23] What is the purpose equation? What are the components?   [6:37] How does the purpose equation translate to practical things?   [13:22] Is there a natural time when people re-define their purpose?  [16:15] What is the linkage between mental wellness and a sense of purpose?  [23:53] How do families and parents talk to their children about purpose?  [28:55] What is Anna's purpose?     KEY TAKEAWAYS:     Purpose is not something that you do. What you do is an output of who you are and your why.   Everyone has a purpose. Everyone has the power within themselves to make a difference in the world.   What does your child love? A parents' job is to help unpack WHYs in the activities your children love. Focus on having your child figure out WHO they are, not what they will do.

In today's episode, Jennie and I discussed what the next several years may look like for the field of Geriatrics and the care of older adults.

For many of us within the healthcare industry, the greatest crisis looming before us is not the risk of infectious disease, but a rapidly aging and frail population. Over the next 40 years, the number of Americans 65 and older will double to 80 million. Over the same period, adults aged 85 and older, who are often in the most need of basic personal and clinical care, will nearly quadruple. As congregative retirement communities are hit hard by COVID-19, and the evidence builds for a whole-person care approach to medicine, the argument for Programs for All Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE) has never been stronger. John sits down with the founder and CEO of one of the fastest growing PACE companies in the US, Edenbridge Health, to discuss the program's many virtues and Edenbridge's unique PACE and PACE-Lite business models.

Stephen Gordon has dedicated his career to improving eldercare services and supports, and during his time as a geriatrician and educator, he observed a trend among his fellow travelers: People tend to fall in love with a specific reform idea or organization, and then have trouble seeing the potential for connections and overlap with other novel models. As the CEO of Edenbridge Health, Gordon hopes to build on the firsthand successes he saw working for a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) organization in Boston, taking the best parts of PACE and finding creative ways to tailor the model to local markets and individual elders' needs. In this edition of “Let Me Say This About That”, Marla and Mary take a closer look at six principles for Edenbridge Health and how they so closely align with the Green House Core Values.  Gordon talked so often about his mentors, Marla explores what mentorship is all about and Mary explains how it has always been a vital part of the Green House model.

Older adults often turn to institutional settings like nursing homes when they need more help than they can get at home.  However, since the 1970s, there has been a program that allows older adults to receive nursing home-level care outside of nursing homes.  That model of care is known as the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly, or PACE.  On today's podcast, we discuss PACE with two leaders in the PACE community, Dan Drake and Jay Luxenberg. Dan is the President and CEO of Trinity Health PACE, the second largest provider of PACE in the country, and Jay is the Chief Medical Officer of On Lok, the very first PACE demonstration site in the nation. We talk with Dan and Jay about all things PACE, including: What is PACE and what is included in it that makes it able to care for nursing home level care in peoples homes? How is PACE paid for, what does it need to cover, and who is eligible? How did PACE start and what's the evidence that it works? What are the challenges to PACE implementation and what do they think the future has in store for PACE? Why should you work at a PACE program?
