The remote lakeside home where her mother had lived alone for twenty-five years overflowed with garbage and recyclables. Despite their difficult relationship, Stettinius, age 40 at the time, moved her mother to her family’s small home in Upstate New York. It was not long after that that Stettinius learned her first lesson as a reluctant member of the “sandwich generation”—she couldn’t be a superwoman. “Inside the Dementia Epidemic: A Daughter’s Memoir” is the unflinching and hopeful story of Stettinius’s journey into caregiving, and offers an unprecedented look into the challenges of Alzheimer's care. With the passion of a committed daughter and the fervor of a tireless reporter, Stettinius shares the lessons she's learned over seven years of caregiving, at home and in a range of dementia care facilities—lessons not just about how she learned to negotiate the world of elder care, but about how caregiving can strengthen relationships.  http://www.insidedementia.com 00:32:00Kind EthicsnoInside the Dementia Epidemic,Alzheimers,Martha Stettinius,caregiving,dementia“Inside the Dementia Epidemic: A Daughter’s Memoir,” a debut memoir by family caregiver Martha Stettinius, tells the compelling personal story of her long jouhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/07/25/mike-campbell-cpa--making-senior-housing-decisions-wiselyLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/07/25/mike-campbell-cpa--making-senior-housing-decisions-wisely/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/07/25/mike-campbell-cpa--making-senior-housing-decisions-wiselyWed, 25 Jul 2012 21:00:00 GMTMike Campbell, CPA - Making senior housing decisions wisely Mike Campbell, CPA and author of When Mom and Dad Need Help, A Step-by-Step Guide to Senior Housing and Care, will be discussing financing and choosing senior housing options.  00:33:00Kind Ethicsnosenior housing,Mike Campbell,choosing a skilled nursing facility,senior housing options,choosing an assisted livingMike Campbell, CPA and author of When Mom and Dad Need Help, A Step-by-Step Guide to Senior Housing and Care, will be discussing financing and choosing seniorhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/07/12/viki-kind--making-your-wishes-known--advance-directivesLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/07/12/viki-kind--making-your-wishes-known--advance-directives/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/07/12/viki-kind--making-your-wishes-known--advance-directivesThu, 12 Jul 2012 19:00:00 GMTViki Kind - Making your wishes known - Advance Directives It is important that you have a voice in your life and health decisions even if you have a cognitive impairment.  Who will speak for you if you are sick or injured?  What should this person tell the doctor?  What else do people need to know to make sure you get the care you need and deserve?  Listen in and get your questions answered with clinical bioethicist, Viki Kind.  Author of The Caregiver's Path to Compassionate Decision Making - Making Choices for Those Who Can't.  Thursday, July 12 at 12PM PDT, 3PM EDT. 00:30:00Kind Ethicsnoadvance directive,living well,making your wishes known,power of attorney,surrogate decision makingIt is important that you have a voice in your life and health decisions even if you have a cognitive impairment.  Who will speak for you if you are sick or injhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/05/07/karen-rinehart-author-of-knitting-with-hospital-glovesLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/05/07/karen-rinehart-author-of-knitting-with-hospital-gloves/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2012/05/07/karen-rinehart-author-of-knitting-with-hospital-glovesMon, 07 May 2012 16:00:00 GMTKaren Rinehart, author of Knitting with Hospital Gloves Join me as I interview Karen Rinehart, author of Knitting with Hospital Gloves - The How-To Guide for Becoming Instant Caregivers.  Did you just get the call that your loved one is in the hospital or are you the advocate for someone who is in and out of the hospital all the time.

It will help seriously-ill parents plan their end-of-life care; prepare their children for their death, and record life memories. Because it is tailored to the needs of parents who are dying, it is more specific for that purpose than general reviews of end-of-life issues. It uses a workbook format that includes questions to help consider issues relating to children, as well as more general questions that will help in planning and trigger memories about the past.

We serve as a link between those who want to donate their body to science and those researchers and educators who need human tissue to further their medical education and research projects. Our program is no cost to donors and their families. Once accepted, Science Care handles all transportation, cremation, filing of the death certificate, and return of the cremated remains within 3-5 weeks. Anyone can register as a donor over the age of 18, or the family can decide to donate their loved one at the time of passing. Pre-registration is not required. We can facilitate a donation in almost every state in the U.S.except for Minnesotaand New Jersey. While we strive to accept every donation, final acceptance into our donor program is contingent upon medical and suitability criteria at the time of passing, in order to honor the intent of donation and safely serve the needs of the medical community. Science Care is able to accept almost anyone who wants to donate, including people with cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes. Exclusions may include contagious diseases, certain past surgical procedures, and bone and joint issues. Some of the healthcare advancements Science Care has been part of recently include cancer research through a grant with the National Cancer Institute, Alzheimer’s research, medical device development, and improving minimally invasive surgeries. 00:30:00Kind Ethicsnowhole body donation,science care,donation for medical research,kristin dorn,viki kindScience Care is a whole body donation program for medical research and education.

This project sheds light on the 21st century American struggle with communication and preparation at the end-of-life. It examines multiple perspectives on end-of-life care and includes interviews with patients, family members, doctors, nurses, clergy, social workers, and national experts from around the country. While in production, Mike and Terry donated more than 3,500 hours to the effort which included shooting 70 hours of film and conducting in-depth interviews with 40+ individuals from California, Illinois, Indiana, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont and Wisconsin. 62 "person on the street" interviews were also conducted in New York City in April of 2010. The bottom line is that Consider the Conversation does not seek to hand down answers. Instead, it provides something far more important - the questions all of us need to contemplate. That being said, the producers have three goals for this film: 1) to change the current American attitude from one that predominantly views end-of-life as a failed medical event to one that sees it as a normal process rich in opportunity for human development, 2) to inspire dialogue between patient and doctor, husband and wife, parent and child, minister and parishioner, and 3) to encourage medical professionals, healthcare organizations and faith leaders to take the lead in counseling others. Consider the Conversation was released on DVD via Amazon.com on March 1st and will air on several PBS stations later this year. 00:31:00Kind EthicsnoConsider the conversation,Mike Bernhagen,Terry Kaldhusdal,end of life conversation,hospiceListen live or download later: April 6th, 2PM PST, 4PM CST www.considertheconversation.org Motivated by their personal experiences with loss, two long-timhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2011/03/21/jessica-brill-ortiz-the-consumer-voice-empowered-effective-and-independent-family-councilsLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2011/03/21/jessica-brill-ortiz-the-consumer-voice-empowered-effective-and-independent-family-councils/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2011/03/21/jessica-brill-ortiz-the-consumer-voice-empowered-effective-and-independent-family-councilsMon, 21 Mar 2011 16:00:00 GMTJessica Brill Ortiz – The Consumer Voice, “Empowered, Effective and Independent Family Councils”Jessica Brill Ortiz – The Consumer Voice, “Empowered, Effective and Independent Family Councils” http://www.theconsumervoice.org/ Join me as I interview Jessica Brill Ortiz from The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care and Ken Pedersen - Chair of "FAMILY COUNCIL at The Cedars," Charlottesville, Virginia The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Careis the leading national voice representing consumers in issues related to long-term care, helping to ensure that consumers are empowered to advocate for themselves.

McVicker mirrored the typical caregiver in the United States – mid 40s, married and employed. Overwhelmed and feeling isolated, she eventually quit her job to care for her parents full-time. It was this decade-long struggle that inspired her to write her first book, Stuck in the Middle: Shared Stories and Tips for Caregiving Your Elderly Parents.

We address two major problems for caregivers: limited time and chronic exhaustion. The CRF provides vouchers for “respite” at-home care, which are donated or purchased on behalf of the CRF from professional at-home care service companies. These vouchers give caregivers time to address their personal needs and grants them the resources needed to invest in their own well being. We created the CRF to respect caregivers, build strong families and ultimately help America face one of its single largest challenges: the aging of America and its impact on caregivers. How Does The Caregiver Relief Fund Work? The Caregiver Relief Fund begins with leading at-home care companies. We work directly with the individual franchises to secure donated vouchers for “respite” at-home care. In cases where donations are not possible, the CRF may negotiate to buy vouchers to help those caregivers in need. After securing the hours, we will select and match the available relief funds. In order to receive a voucher, caregivers begin by filling out an application form and sharing their caregiving story. Voucher recipients are non-paid caregivers with an annual income of $80,000 or less who have been in a caregiving role for a chronically ill individual, elder or disabled person for 12 months or longer.

Breathe was written and published in the first few months after her mom passed during an unexpected hospitalization. It was written during that raw period, when the most important aspects of your life become clearer. The book is a fast read, but it holds a powerful story that can change your life. It will make you laugh, cry and smile. Breathe is a journey of learning to let go. Bland is a healthcare professional with over 35 years experience in the hospital setting with a focus on taking care of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. She wants to help others better understand end of life decisions in the hospital. This understanding comes through open communication prior to an illness between family members and their healthcare providers. Breathe views this period as a part of life that is not a time to deny or dread, but one that can be used to reflect on how you live your life. The nurturing process is so evident in Breathe. Breathe will enhance your journey in life, provide you with clarity for end of life decisions related to advance care planning, and allow you the opportunity to help others. Breathe opens the door for a meaningful dialogue between patients, their families, and healthcare providers. The book is about living, loving, and letting go gracefully when the time comes. The royalty from the sale of the book goes directly for relief and development to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.

She helps families, communities, organizations, and businesses maneuver the turmoil of aging and illness. She has dedicated her life to working with people in transition. Lori has done this by guiding businesses and organizations on how to improve service delivery to enhance relationships with senior consumers and their families. Lori’s mission is to shift society’s negative perception of aging and illness, by getting individuals and businesses to appreciate and embrace the gifts wrapped in every stage of life. She believes by removing the fear, the embarrassment, and the judgment that cripples our relationships; we can enhance our connections with the people we love and care for. Lori understands Caregiving from the inside out. She lost her Father to brain cancer after a 4 ½ year battle. Her Mother has struggled with Alzheimer’s for 30 years and is now in her end stages of the disease. Today she shares tips and techniques she learned as a Caregiver. Her goal is to help people embrace the person who once was, engage the person before them, and let go; allowing love to flow forward; as the ill and aging surrender to the shell of a body that in prisons them. Lori owns Alzheimer’s Speaks and Seniors Lifestyle Trends. She was recently featured on FOX News for her cutting edge work with Alzheimer’s disease.

What you can expect: The cornerstone of each Leeza's Place is a specially trained "Leeza Care Advocate" whose primary responsibility is to guide caregivers and their loved ones through the emotionally charged maze of memory disorders: educationally, supportively, and confidently.

(MRHS) which serves elderly residents of Morningside Gardens, a 982 unit, multi-racial, middle income housing development in West Harlem. It consists of six high-rise buildings and approximately 1,700 residents. More than 50% of the households include a resident over the age of 60. Many of the older residents have lived in the Gardens since it opened for occupancy in 1957 and have "aged in place." As a result, the complex has become what is known as a "NORC"--a Naturally Occurring Retirement Community--with a large population of elderly people with special needs. The mission of MRHS is twofold. We aim to: * HELP frail and at-risk elderly residents of Morningside Gardens remain in their own homes comfortably, safely, and with as much independence as possible for as long as they can. * PROVIDE programs which promote health and provide opportunities for education, socialization and recreation for all older residents of Morningside Gardens, with particular attention to the special needs of the infirm, homebound, and isolated. 01:00:00Kind EthicsnoRon Bruno,Morningside Retirement,morningside gardens,caregivers path,viki kindInterview with the executive director of Morningside Retirement and Health Services, Inc.

A common and understandable coping mechanism in care giving is to simply stuff the overwhelming emotions that surface repeatedly in your work. How else can you keep going? Eventually, those emotions refuse to be ignored. All too often, psychological and physical crisis occurs. With support, insightful information, and authentic self-care, you can begin to understand the complexity of the emotions you've been juggling and, most likely, suppressing. Most people never take the time to understand how their jobs affect them emotionally. Give yourself credit for moving forward and affecting change. Your hard work will pay off. Authentic Self Care Begins With the Following: • Be kind to yourself. • Enhance your awareness with education. • Accept where you are on your path at all times. • Understand that those close to you may not be there when you need them most. • Exchange information and feelings with people who can validate you. • Listen to others who are suffering. • Clarify your personal boundaries. What works for you; what doesn't. • Express your needs verbally. • Take positive action to change your environment.00:45:00Kind Ethicsnocompassion fatigue awareness,caregiver stress,aging parents,healthcare stress,Patricia SmithViki Kind interviews Patricia Smith, "The Compassion Fatigue Awareness Project" Patricia will be talking about the Path to Wellness. compassionfatigue.orghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2009/07/31/Viki-Kind-Frances-Shani-Parker-Author-of-Becoming-Dead-Right-Part-2-of-Improving-your-Nursing-HomeLifestylehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2009/07/31/Viki-Kind-Frances-Shani-Parker-Author-of-Becoming-Dead-Right-Part-2-of-Improving-your-Nursing-Home/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/kindethics/2009/07/31/Viki-Kind-Frances-Shani-Parker-Author-of-Becoming-Dead-Right-Part-2-of-Improving-your-Nursing-HomeFri, 31 Jul 2009 19:00:00 GMTViki Kind & Frances Shani Parker Author of Becoming Dead Right Part 2 of Improving your Nursing HomeViki Kind & Frances Shani Parker, Author of Becoming Dead Right Part 2 of Improving your Nursing Home An award-winning writer, consultant, and former school principal, Frances shares insights and experiences about her years of hospice volunteering in Detroit nursing homes. Using stories, poems, and general information, she has written a groundbreaking book that is an inclusive and literal guide for becoming dead the right way. Topics include hospice, caregiving, dementia, death, bereavement, and strategies for improving eldercare and nursing homes. While universal perspectives are presented, the often missing views of people of color and residents in urban nursing homes are examined. Frances' background as an educator and her upbringing in New Orleans, LA add interesting layers to her problem solving in nursing homes and to her descriptive storytelling. She uses her writing and public speaking skills to advocate for senior citizens and promote conversations empowering others to have dignified death journeys. Her favorite anonymous quote is "If you think one person can't make a difference, you haven't been to bed with a mosquito."

On average, we're able to show our clients how to save about 70% on their prescriptions. Here's what R. Michael Dowden from Farmersville, OH, a recent MrMedSaver.com client, said about his Rx Savings Report: “I can see already, the biggest benefit is putting information into the hands of the consumer. On some of these, I thought I already had the answers to what was the lowest cost and still effective medicine. Now I have alternatives that I can discuss with my doctor(s).” Imagine if your mechanic selected which car you would purchase. Not having a firm grasp of fluctuating automobile prices, imagine if he chose your new vehicle without even taking cost into consideration. Instead, what if he based his decision solely on performance, looks, and amenities, and chose a brand new Mercedes? Would you stand for this? Of course not . . . that would be preposterous. Yet this scenario is the norm for the pharmaceutical industry. Usually, the person who selects your medications (your doctor) has no idea what you’ll have to pay for them. The pharmaceutical industry changes at such a rapid pace that doctors simply can't keep track of drug prices or developments like new generic availability. In fact, one of the key sources of drug information for doctors is drug company sales reps. These salesmen are highly trained at pushing doctors away from cost-effective generic medications, and toward the expensive brand-name drugs they are promoting. The design of the entire pharmaceutical industry is flawed, forcing you to pay much more than needed for your medications . . . and there's no one to look out for you. Now, with the help of Mr. MedSaver, that’s all about to change.

Using stories, poems, and general information, she has written a groundbreaking book that is an inclusive and literal guide for becoming dead the right way. Topics include hospice, caregiving, dementia, death, bereavement, and strategies for improving eldercare and nursing homes. While universal perspectives are presented, the often missing views of people of color and residents in urban nursing homes are examined. Frances' background as an educator and her upbringing in New Orleans, LA add interesting layers to her problem solving in nursing homes and to her descriptive storytelling. She uses her writing and public speaking skills to advocate for senior citizens and promote conversations empowering others to have dignified death journeys. Her favorite anonymous quote is "If you think one person can't make a difference, you haven't been to bed with a mosquito."

Holly Thomas has spent the last ten years of her life studying yoga, meditation, consciousness psychology, and the physiology of stress which has lead to her current work as a licensed HeartMath Provider. Holly's goal was to find ways to bring simple, effective, scientifically validated stress and emotional management tools to the everyday person. She has been a licensed provider in Los Gatos for three years and has been working with health care providers and their patients using the HeartMath techniques and personal biofeedback units. Holly believes that what makes HeartMath different from other forms of stress management, is that the techniques effect a physiological change in the body immediately upon practicing, and you can literally do the techniques while standing in line at the grocery store, talking with others, and while busily rushing through your day! The ease at which the tools can be used does not diminish its effectiveness. In fact, one who diligently uses the tools in their life can actually re-train their nervous system over time, to handle stress and manage their emotions with more ease.
