Dr. Corinne Auman is a Gerontologist with over 20 years of experience. She has a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology with a specialty in adulthood & aging. She's an author, educator, caregiving and aging expert. Corinne’s passion for educating families comes from her own family's caregiving journey and years helping families through her care management company.
She’s on a mission to change the conversation around aging with her book Keenagers. The term Keenagers describes an emerging demographic which includes those in their 50’s,60’s and beyond. Her book explores aging, ageism, caregiving and so much more.
In this episode, we’re tackling some of the tough caregiving topics from having that conversation to the cost of senior living and care and the lack of training and support in the healthcare industry.

They don’t give you a handbook when your mom or dad isn’t safe to live alone any longer…
This is what a family member recently said to me and while a complete handbook would be way more involved than this podcast episode…and probably not even possible… I’m going to share insights from families just like yours and give you some tips for creating your own handbook to hopefully help make your journey a little more doable.

Last episode we talked about this same topic but we applied it to those in Independent and assisted living. We talked about getting creative and advocating ….and with Memory care I believe that’s even more important …if you’re listening and you’re a family member looking for memory care I believe you hold the key to helping this transition to memory care be successful… If you’re listening and you work in memory care… I challenge you to become curious about your residents…Who they are and what they used to love.

Some of my favorite stories in senior living have come from finding that thing…that activity…that spark.... that makes this really difficult transition… a little more personal.
Many seniors express that moving to senior living is where they're going to die or that you...their loved one or caregiver are just going to drop them off...or another phrase I've heard is you're going to dump me at a senior living community. So how do you move past these fears? Because the other thing I've heard from seniors, after sometimes years of acclimating is.... I wish I would've done this earlier. What made that shift? My guess is that making friends and finding purpose are key.
What if you could speed up this process by digging deeper….getting creative...moving past the activity calendar and advocating for those things that used to spark joy in your loved one? You just may find that you not only improve your loved one's experience...but you open the door to changing the energy, spirit and focus of the entire community.

Rehab…. Short term rehab…. Skilled nursing facility… SNF…
Through the years, I've witnessed families struggle with tough decisions, particularly when it comes to transitioning to assisted-living or memory care following a crisis at home, often triggered by a fall or illness. Unfortunately, about 90% of the families I've worked with have faced challenges with short term rehab stays… some more serious than others.
So In today's episode, we'll dive into some of these stories but also explore alternatives and discuss how to advocate for your loved ones.

When you toured a community you most likely gave them your phone number and most likely your Mom gave them hers. When you do that you’re going to get follow up phone calls. That call is to check in and see where you’re at in the process and how things are going. From this call the home visit is born.
In this episode we're talking about what exactly a home visit is and why it can be a helpful resource for families.

"I'm sorry...what did you say?"
After years of working in senior living, I still forget that this industry has its own language. A language most of the families I work with have never heard or know very little about. A language largely from the medical field... no doubt due to its creator Doctor Keren Wilson of Oregon.
No matter where it came from, not knowing what you're being asked or what it all means for your loved one and their care....only adds to an already stressful search. In this episode, we're talking terminology through story...
NOTE: THIS EPIODE IS NOT AN ALPHABETICAL LIST

Despite the fact that dementia is a very individual disease - and that symptoms may vary - many memory care communities will not even consider a new resident with a Lewy body, Frontotemporal, Vascular or Alcohol Related Dementia diagnosis. They won’t even look at their medications or doctors notes.
This week we're looking at some of the symptoms of the different types of Dementia including Alzheimer's and why it can be more difficult to find care.

It feels like it should be easy. You search..."my mom needs help going to the bathroom". Or "care for my elderly parent" or "help for seniors". You google and you should be able to get a straightforward answer, right? You call the places that come up during your search and none of them can help. Almost all of our clients tried to find the right fit on their own before they found us. This week we're talking about why it's so hard!

Many families struggle with disclosing their loved ones care needs especially if there are behaviors they find embarrassing or if they feel no-one could possible want to care for their loved one.

In this episode we're talking about why it might not be a good idea to NOT disclose and when it might be ok.
