Let’s dive into the art of proactive caregiving, equipping families with the knowledge and tools needed to confidently support their aging loved ones. Drawing from my book, "Sensible Senior Solutions," I discuss the importance of recognizing early signs of aging and strategically planning for potential health challenges.
We'll explore how to choose the right in-home care agency, focusing on personalized care plans and emotional support that align with your loved one's medical and cultural needs. I also highlight the financial aspects of in-home care, providing insights into various payment methods, particularly for seniors with dementia.
As caregivers, it's crucial to balance compassion with strategy, ensuring the well-being of both your loved ones and yourself. I'll share tips on maintaining your own health and sanity while managing the demands of caregiving. Don't wait for a crisis—empower yourself with informed decisions that ensure seamless transitions and continuity of care.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
