"In 2021, 57 million people had dementia worldwide... Every year, there are nearly 10 million new cases," (World Health Organization). Dementia is a group of neurodegenerative diseases that affect a large amount of the aging population, and that have a wide variety of symptoms-- change in habits, forgetting the month or year, forgetting relationships to others, often losing or misplacing items, getting lost while driving or walking, and other behavioral symptoms that impair daily life and independent functioning. While there is no cure for dementia, there are treatment plans and things that we can do to make life as comfortable and joyous as possible for those who have dementia. Dr. Catherine Madison, MD, is a neurologist who decided to specialize in Dementia care after experiencing firsthand the impact her mother's journey with dementia had on herself and her family. Dr. Madison works with a nonprofit, Seniors at Home, which is an Organization that is proud to provide at-home care for seniors to help them live as independently as possible, and to age with dignity. Founded in 1850, they are a part of Jewish Family and Children's Services, one of the oldest and largest family service institutions in the United States.For this episode, Dr. Madison joins Dr. Jonathan Karp and student producer Kaya Basatemur to talk about the warning signs of dementia, dementia care, and how to provide an aging senior with dementia with the highest amount of comfort and respect possible. She also discusses some major points in her book, Navigating Memory Loss, to emphasize how important whole-person healthcare is. This book is not only for those living with dementia, but mainly for their family and friends. The format of the book is Q&A, which makes it helpful to find the information that you may need when dealing with the stress of providing care to a loved one with dementia.

I work at a school all day with kids whose ages from 4 year old to Seniors. I mostly see kids up through 5th grade but occasionally have the chance to visit with the older ones. And regardless of what age you teach or what age kids you might be parenting, there are usually times when you feel like your words fall on deaf ears and your actions go unnoticed.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at some of the big projects that are happening around campus. Dr. Ford shares news about the long-awaited renovations to Seth Pounds Auditorium, which officially began during Spring Break as crews fenced off and marked the area for construction. One of the college's first buildings, Seth Pounds is being transformed into one of the top auditoriums in the region, with an expanded stage designed to accommodate an orchestra and will host cultural events for both the college and the community. Ford also discusses new developments at the Northeast at Corinth campus, including facility expansions that will support the Alcorn County School District with concurrent enrollment opportunities and the creation of an Aerospace Technician lab in partnership with Northrop Grumman. Additional Booneville campus improvements include updated entrance signage to better guide students and visitors while reinforcing the college's community presence. Recreational enhancements are also underway, as the college adds pickleball and volleyball lines to the tennis courts beside the Haney Union, giving students more options for on-campus activities. One of the most impactful projects, according to Ford, is the buildout of the Career Technical Building in the former Corinthian building off Highway 4 -- a development that will significantly expand health science programs, boost enrollment, and provide more space for career-technical training to help prepare local workers for tomorrow's jobs. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

  Aging in Place: Safety, Technology, & Dignity w/ Drew Siefried of TruBlue Ally - AZ TRT S07 EP04 (286) 3-1-2026       Things We Learned This Week ·         America is aging rapidly - By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over 65. ·         Most seniors want to stay in their homes - More than 80% of older adults prefer aging in place rather than moving to assisted living. ·         Technology is transforming senior safety - Non-intrusive monitoring systems can detect falls and alert families without cameras or wearables. ·         One fall can change everything - Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and loss of independence among seniors. ·         Prevention is far cheaper than crisis care - Simple home safety upgrades can prevent accidents and help seniors maintain independence longer.     Guest: Drew Seifried LKIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewseifried/ Company: TruBlue Home Service Ally Website: https://www.trublueally.com/east-phoenix-north-scottsdale   With over 25 years of combined corporate and entrepreneurial experience, I currently own and operate TruBlue Home Service Ally, where we support seniors and busy families with home modifications and handyman services. In this role, we prioritize safety, reliability, and exceptional service, ensuring all personnel meet high professional standards. As a Certified Franchise Executive, I also guide aspiring entrepreneurs, including corporate professionals, first responders, and military veterans, toward business ownership through franchising. Leveraging expertise in franchise agreements and processes, I simplify the path to ownership, aligning opportunities with individual goals. My mission is to empower others to achieve their aspirations through purpose-driven ventures.   TruBlue Home Service Ally® provides a unique and affordable approach to helping busy adults and seniors live a worry-free life by offering trustworthy handyman, home maintenance and senior modification services. Helping you maintain your home both inside and out, TruBlue's services include: handyman projects and to-do list chores, preventative home maintenance programs, seasonal work, and senior modification services, all handled by a professional, bonded and insured Tru-Pro® Technician. Episode Overview America is entering a major demographic shift. By 2030, 1 in 5 Americans will be over the age of 65, creating what many experts call the "Silver Tsunami." Families across the country will face new challenges as aging parents want to maintain independence while staying safe at home. But aging at home safely requires planning. In this episode, we sit down with Drew Seifried of TruBlue Home Service Ally to discuss how home safety modifications, emerging Age Tech, and non-intrusive monitoring technologies are helping seniors stay independent longer — while providing peace of mind for their families. We also explore the unique needs of veterans and individuals with disabilities, and how communities and organizations can better support them.   Segment 1: Aging in Place & The Silver Tsunami Drew Seifried owns three territories with TruBlue, a national franchise focused on helping people safely remain in their homes. The company works primarily with: ·         Seniors and aging adults ·         People with disabilities ·         Veterans ·         Adult children caring for aging parents Their mission is simple: help people live independently and safely at home. The Growing Senior Population America is rapidly aging. Key statistics: ·         61 million Americans are age 65+ ·         By 2030, about 20% of the population will be seniors ·         Phoenix and other Sun Belt cities are seeing rapid senior population growth as retirees relocate This demographic shift will place new pressure on: ·         Healthcare systems ·         Caregiver workforce ·         Family members caring for aging parents The Hidden Risk: Falls in the Home One of the biggest threats to senior independence is falling. Key statistics: ·         1 in 4 adults age 65+ falls each year ·         Falls cause over 3 million emergency room visits annually ·         More than 300,000 seniors are hospitalized each year for hip fractures ·         Over 50% of falls occur inside the home In many cases, one fall can change everything. A serious fall can lead to: ·         Hospitalization ·         Loss of mobility ·         Long-term disability ·         Moving into assisted living The Most Dangerous Areas in a Home According to home safety experts, the highest risk areas include: ·         Bathrooms (tubs and showers) ·         Entryways and stairs ·         Poor lighting ·         Cluttered hallways or walkways Even small modifications can dramatically reduce fall risk. Preventing Falls Before They Happen TruBlue helps families install preventative safety upgrades such as: ·         Bathroom grab bars ·         Non-slip shower treatments ·         Improved lighting ·         Handrails and stair supports ·         Walkway hazard removal The company also performs full home safety assessments to identify hidden risks. As Drew explains, the goal is prevention — because once a fall happens, recovery can be much more difficult. Aging at Home vs Assisted Living Another major challenge families face is cost. Average assisted living costs in the U.S.: ·         $5,000–$6,000 per month ·         Often $60,000–$70,000 per year By comparison, many safety upgrades or in-home services cost a fraction of that. And most seniors prefer to stay home. Surveys show: ·         84% of seniors want to age in place ·         Independence and familiarity with their home environment matter deeply Segment 2: Age Tech & Smart Monitoring One challenge facing families is the shrinking caregiver workforce. With fewer caregivers available, technology is stepping in to help monitor safety. Adult children want peace of mind that their parents are safe — especially when they live in another city. But many seniors dislike traditional monitoring systems. Common concerns include: ·         Cameras in the home ·         Wearable emergency devices ·         Privacy issues ·         Technology complexity A New Approach: Radar-Based Monitoring A newer technology solution is radar-based monitoring systems like those from Pontosense. These systems use small radar sensors placed throughout the home. They can detect: ·         Falls ·         Movement patterns ·         Breathing and vital signals Unlike cameras, they are completely non-intrusive. Features include: ·         No cameras ·         No wearable devices ·         No audio recording ·         No stored video data The system can detect unusual events and send alerts. Smart Alerts for Families If a fall occurs, the system can: ·         Wait about 90 seconds to see if someone gets up (reducing false alerts) ·         Send notifications to family members ·         Contact caregivers ·         Alert emergency services if necessary Family members can also monitor activity patterns through a mobile app. For adult children balancing careers, families, and aging parents, this technology provides peace of mind without invading privacy. Segment 3: Disability Services & Veteran Support TruBlue also works with individuals living with disabilities and veterans who require specialized home modifications. Organizations supporting the disability community include: ·         Ability360 ·         Benevilla These groups offer programs ranging from adaptive sports to community support services. Health Challenges as We Age Many older adults face conditions that impact mobility or independence. These can include: ·         Arthritis ·         Balance issues ·         Progressive neurological diseases like ALS or MS ·         Reduced strength and coordination Simple tasks — getting into a bathtub, climbing stairs, or reaching shelves — can become difficult. Home modifications can restore independence. Importantly, these upgrades can be designed to blend into the home aesthetically, preserving both function and dignity. Supporting Veterans Veterans represent another group that often needs home safety support. Key statistics: ·         Approximately 17 million veterans live in the United States ·         Nearly 8 million veterans are age 65 or older Despite available programs, many veterans do not utilize assistance. Organizations working to support veterans include: ·         Paralyzed Veterans of America ·         Veterans of Foreign Wars ·         Elks Lodge Drew himself served in the military and is passionate about helping veterans access services and resources.

For decades, housing planners have assumed that seniors would eventually downsize, freeing up family homes for the next generation. But that hasn't happened.In this episode, Cara Stern and Mike Moffatt explore why most seniors choose to stay in their homes and why that decision is often perfectly rational. High moving costs, limited housing options, strong community ties, and government policies that encourage aging in place all make downsizing far less appealing than planners expected.This mistaken assumption has shaped housing forecasts, contributed to today's housing shortage, and fueled tensions between generations. Are seniors really the problem, or did policymakers simply plan the housing system around the wrong idea?And if seniors aren't moving, what does that mean for families trying to find space in cities where family-sized homes remain scarce?In this episode, we discuss:The Over-Housing Myth: Why the term does more harm than good.The Cost of Moving: Taxes, fees, and the "financial loser" trade-off of downsizing.Involuntary Over-Housing: What happens when seniors want to move but have nowhere to go.Policy Failure: How municipal assumptions about generational turnover are decades out of date.Chapters:00:00 Introduction01:00 The Irony of Planners Assuming Seniors Will Downsize2:32 Flawed Assumptions About Generational Turnover and Life Expectancy03:47 The Problematic Term "Overhoused"07:11 Defining "Involuntarily Overhoused"08:25 Underhousing Statistics in Toronto09:04 Zero Sum Mentality Created By Housing Shortage10:40 Density as a Solution for Seniors and Reducing Resentment12:33 The Financial Calculation: Why Moving Makes No Sense for Seniors14:00  Policies Actively Paying Seniors to Stay in Place16:09 Places where they have Implemented Better Policy Research/links:Right-Sizing Housing and Generational Turnoverhttps://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/planning-studies-initiatives/housing-to-2051/Perspectives on Growing Older in Canada: The 2025 NIA Ageing in Canada Survey – National Institute on Ageing, Toronto Metropolitan Universityhttps://niageing.ca/reports/perspectives-on-growing-older-in-canada-the-2025-nia-ageing-in-canada-survey/Canada's Demographic Time Bomb: What Boom, Bust & Echo Got Right - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3VT7x1lrBsCity of Toronto – Garden Suites and Laneway Suiteshttps://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/planning-studies-initiatives/garden-suites/Hosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at what people often assume about community colleges and what President Ford wishes more people understood — that the quality of education at Northeast rivals, and often exceeds, that of a four-year university. Ford breaks down the rigorous standards required of Northeast instructors, noting that every faculty member holds at least a master's degree or higher in their field. The veteran educator shares how Northeast isn't simply a stepping stone, but a launching pad — whether students are preparing to transfer to a four-year university, land their dream job, or sharpen their workforce skills. Ford also highlights the value and affordability of a community college education, emphasizing that Northeast students receive strong academic support, graduate with less debt, and leave with the confidence to succeed. Listeners will hear how Northeast's smaller class sizes — often a 1-to-20 or 1-to-25 ratio — foster personalized instruction and how instructors take a genuine interest in helping students thrive both academically and personally. Ford discusses the extensive support system available to students and employees alike, noting that Northeast is the only community college in Mississippi with a Director of Employee Development. Beyond academics, Ford explains how students can take advantage of numerous extracurricular opportunities designed to build leadership and community engagement. He also touches on Northeast's statewide articulation agreements that simplify the transfer process to four-year colleges and universities. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.

Winnipeg police have launched a campaign called "Just Hang Up" to warn seniors about scams, many of them fooled by artificial intelligence. But experts warn that it's not just older people getting duped out of money. It could happen to anyone, thanks to AI.

Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford and Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery look at the “quiet wins” happening every day across campus — the successes that may not make the headlines but make a big difference for students and staff alike. Ford highlights the dedication of the Fine Arts division, where band staff spend countless hours recruiting new students and assisting with state-level evaluations. He also points to major improvements in campus operations, including the new online payment portal that makes viewing and paying bills easier and more convenient — with usage jumping from less than 10% to 50%. Behind the scenes, Ford notes ongoing efforts to streamline services in areas like the Counseling Center and Business Office, reducing long lines and saving students valuable time. He also celebrates the personalization of summer orientation, which now includes more individualized sessions where entire high school groups visit campus together. Students and families can complete every step in one visit — from applying and submitting financial aid to scheduling classes and meeting advisors — ensuring they leave fully prepared and ready to start their Northeast journey. Ford reminds listeners that while big achievements often grab attention, it's the daily and personal victories that truly define Northeast. From students who once doubted whether college was right for them to those achieving milestones in student life, every success matters. He also spotlights campus engagement activities like “Jump On Board” — featuring new video boards at football and basketball venues, a fun customized photo booth generating more than 306,000 views and over 1,200 likes on social media, plus student events such as game nights, cornhole tournaments, and lifeguard signups. Northeast's facilities continue to see improvements, too, with upcoming vanity updates in each White Hall dorm room. Plus, get the latest updates on athletics, academics, workforce development, and all the incredible things happening at one of the nation's premier community colleges.
