In this episode we explore the crucial and often overlooked issue of supporting family caregivers in the workplace. Stephanie Leung, CEO and founder of Karehero, who shares her personal journey from a high-flying career at Goldman Sachs to becoming an advocate for caregivers. Stephanie opens up about her experiences as a family caregiver from a young age and the challenges she faced balancing work and caregiving duties. With over 7 million people in the UK alone juggling these roles, it's time we address the pressures they face and how employers can step up to support them.  Stephanie's story highlights the pressing need for better support systems for working caregivers. Her experience underscores the often-unrecognized burden many employees carry, dedicating over 33 hours a week to unpaid care on top of their regular jobs. Stephanie emphasizes the need for organizations to adapt to the realities of an aging population and a shrinking birth rate. The importance of understanding individual needs within the workforce is paramount to retaining talent and preventing burnout. We explore how employers can create supportive environments for caregivers, ensuring that employees don't have to choose between their careers and their loved ones.  Chapters (00:03) - Supporting Family Caregivers in the Workplace (14:01) - Business Solution for Family Caregiving (25:14) - Supporting Working Family Caregivers (33:53) - Future Workforce Care Challenges   Karehero https://www.karehero.com/ Disruptive HR Website: www.disruptivehr.com Join the Disruptive HR Club https://disruptivehr.com/welcome-to-the-future-of-hr/ Email: hello@disruptivehr.com

What happens when your Dad has a stroke and needs you for support and care?Employees are choosing in record numbers to retire early, pass up promotions, or find part-time work so that they can care for aging parents or spouses. Others cannot afford to stop working, so they burn the candle at both ends while juggling work and caregiving.

How do you overcome ageism in today's society? Corinne Aumen, Ph.D. joins us for a conversation to talk about ageism and her new book, “Keenagers”. She is the founder of Choice Care Navigators based out of Greensboro, NC, where her company is dedicated to helping families navigate the aging process. Her passion lies in helping us reshape how we perceive older adulthood, a vision she has beautifully encapsulates in her book “Keenagers”. She is on a mission to change the conversation around aging. Especially in a culture where many avoid thinking about older adulthood until the last minute, she urges us to embrace aging in a positive light. During our conversation, Corrine explained where ageism comes from and how we have the largest demographic of people over 65 years of age with 10,000 people daily turning 65 and the highest number of people wanting or needing to continue to work.  Research shows that those living a powerful and purposeful life gain a longer life by at least 7 ½ years. If we don't have purpose that is when we start to see that negative downhill effect usually after the 18-month honeymoon phase.  Dr. Becca Levy shares a lot of research and stats on ageism and more about the impact of the 7 ½ years. Corinne urges us to get educated and to better understand that living with purpose helps increase our vitality but also how older generations impact business and healthcare. She speaks with us about stereotypes and how what we say matters. Some of those stereotypes in business might include things like:Older people can't learn.Older workers cost more money.Work is too much for them.But the benefits of keeping older adults include:Maintaining a strong knowledge bank.The social acumen.Etc.If we take an example like technology, the older generation is being left out and with having the largest population ever in an older demographic, this becomes highly impactful. Especially when a youngster is creating apps and algorithms' s that are focused on a specific demographic. And with the acceleration of AI (Artificial Intelligence) it's even more important to influence the knowledge of older generations to help us shape correctly and with fewer biases.Healthcare is another area that is impacted greatly as we will often hear doctors explain things away because of age versus the actual problem at hand. It becomes imperative that you advocate for yourself or at least have someone with you to help advocate and get the answers you need.  Corinne urges us to educate and arm ourselves for the day that each of us will eventually get to, ageism impacts everyone and we owe it to ourselves to prepare and enter it prepared. If you have questions for Corinne that we did not answer in this podcast you can find her on her social feeds on IG, FB, and LI. Want to know who has been on our most recent podcast or want to learn more about our community events, visit us at www.wilempowered.com and sign up for our monthly newsletter.

So about 65% of family caregivers have some type of health decline during their caregiving period. And so it's ensuring that you have a long-term care plan in place, because as much as we would want to admit it, we have to take care of ourselves too. And it may happen that not only you're taking care of a loved one, but you're also needing your own long-term care. So having that plan in place for yourself, having your finances in order so you understand what those financial boundaries look like. So exactly when you need to pull from savings, how much can you pull from savings? That may be the decision of whether do I pull money from my 401(k )or do I pull it from a taxable brokerage account, because those can be two different tax implications. And then it's looking at your loved one's financial situation. If you're going to be their power of attorney, you're going to have to understand what that role looks like, and you probably should know where their accounts are, how much money they have so they can afford long-term care themselves. Do they have enough money to either pay for a care worker or pay for you to take care of them? So those are the questions that I start, I'm kind of like the devil's advocate where I am [asking ] if this scenario happens, are you prepared for this situation? Because it may happen to you if just like me, I needed to take care of myself and I needed a couple weeks to do that and to get myself recuperated On Boundaries  "Take care of yourself and know those boundaries. It's okay to have boundaries. It's okay to have limits. Maybe you have a relationship with your loved one that's not a healthy relationship. It's okay to ask for help and find other ways so that you are not paying, you're not doing the primary role of family caregiving. It's okay to set up a support system where you're not doing all the activities when it comes to caregiving. So for example, for my loved one, we have a neighbor that comes over and walks the dog. We have another neighbor that comes over and sees my grandmother an hour a day and they chitchat. So trying to spread out the wealth of caregiving is what's going to help you in the long run. That could be an hour that you can go on a walk or an hour that you can relax. Sometimes you have to get a little bit creative. As I talked about previously. A lot of people don't know they're actually family caregivers. And the trouble with that is that there are so many great resources, but if you don't feel like that's part of your identity or...

I've been in my "cave" a lot the past few years. Between COVID, family caregiving, and chronic illness, it's been easy to avoid connection and community.And in some ways it's been good. It's been a very creative period. It's helped me to figure some things out.But.I am also realizing there's healing that can only happen in community. And I also have work to do in the world that requires contact with other humans.So May has been the month of venturing out of the cave and throwing myself ungracefully back into the world of human connection.Going on vacation with friends. Sleeping on the couch of an AirBNB. Sharing a kitchen. (HUGE.)Hiking with others. Putting my slowness, my weakness, and my weirdness on full display.I have definitely made mistakes and been a jerk. But I've also learned A TON. Stuff you literally can't learn on those solo spiritual getaways.So in today's episode, I talk about what this part of my healing journey — that is happening in community — is revealing. And also share some survival tips for those of you who need a little help coming out of the cave.Resources MentionedSarah's InstagramSarah's Breathwork MeetupEmail: sarah@missadventurepants.comSpecial OfferDownload a FREE meditative breathwork session for long COVID symptom relief — or any time you want to relax!

On March 28th, the New York Times Magazine published a powerfully revealing article about young adults caring for their aging parents - while trying to earn a living, parent their children, and preserve their own health. The statistics were dramatic. "The share of caregivers who are under 45 quintupled over the past two decades, to nearly 66 percent from 16 percent." These caregivers are "often shouldering the burden with no pay and little outside help", even from other family members. The magazine article profiles Randi Schofield as she spirals downward attempting to meet the needs of her father, who suffers from car accident injuries complicated by other long-standing health issues. Our Lynn's Legacy: Caring for the Caregiver program was created out of our own caregiving experience to respond to the extraordinary needs of family caregivers in distress. In this podcast, we share insights into the physical and emotional toll caregivers like Randi experience, and how Lynn's Legacy can help. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/28/magazine/elder-child-care-millennials.html

A transcript is available online We all know how the classic 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz" ends: Dorothy taps her heals together and reminds herself that 'there's no place like home.' And that's true for many people in need of long-term care.On today's program, two conversations about some of the challenges faced by two different groups of people wanting to stay in their homes and receive needed services there: people with a disability and the elderly. Both groups often find that living in their homes and in communities they're familiar with benefits them in multiple ways.But the cost of long-term assistance from caregivers can make staying at home difficult, if not impossible.Dr. Maureen Nash is a geriatric psychiatrist. She talks with host Seán Collins about the many psychological benefits of receiving care in a familiar setting for those who choose "aging in place."And we hear from Dr. Lisa Iezzoni from the Harvard Medical School about the many barriers that exist for people with a disability, regardless of their age, remaining in their own home...Dr. Nash has recently been named a Distinguished Fellow of the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry.

All Home Care Matters was honored to welcome, Dr. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci as a guest to the show.   Dr. Buffy Lloyd-Krejci, president and founder of IPCWell, has always had a passion for mitigating infectious diseases through a data-driven approach. Even before the pandemic, Buffy realized how serious infections disproportionately impact vulnerable populations. COVID-19, in her view, merely sheds light on the systemic challenge of infection prevention and control and its adverse impact on patient care.   During the COVID-19 pandemic, IPCWell has taken a “boots on the ground” approach to support healthcare facilities such as nursing homes across the nation, doing in-person, deep-dive assessments to offer immediate support to healthcare workers on the frontlines. Dr. Lloyd-Krejci travels the country to long-term care facilities to assess, train, and educate with humor, vigor, and empathy. She has developed practical tools, led trainings and “train the trainer” programs, provided ongoing support to IPC teams, and created the “LTC playbook” for Doctors Without Borders infection control support for early use in hard hit areas of Detroit and Houston.   Recently, she published her first book, BROKEN: How the Global Pandemic Uncovered a Nursing Home System in Need of Repair and the Heroic Staff Fighting for Change, a novel which exposes the dire need of a massive policy overhaul within the nursing home industry.

As a family caregiver the journey of dementia can be a perpetual grieving process. But how does one deal with this grief? For Bishop Kenneth Carder, it was through a lens of faith. In part two of our discussion, we explore more on how caring for those whose memories are fading can affect one's thinking about God, life, and what really matters. Bishop Carder's point of view taught him that a caregiving partner can broaden one's outlook on identity and worth. And ultimately, through all the pain and loss, one can understand the most powerful message of all: love endures.

He knows that loving a person with dementia can expand one's capacity to love without reciprocity. In fact, Bishop Carder has so many powerful insights, they couldn't all fit into one episode.
