Caring for Your Aging Parents
Season 02 Episode 11
How Assisted Living Empowers Aging Parents
What if assisted living could actually enhance your aging parent's independence rather than limit it? Join me, Lynn Smargis, on this enlightening episode of Caring for Your Aging Parents, where we shatter common misconceptions about assisted living facilities. These communities are designed with the goal of fostering an active and engaged lifestyle for seniors.
From offering assistance with daily activities like dressing and medication management to organizing social and recreational events such as book clubs and scenic tours, assisted living provides a supportive environment that promotes both independence and a higher quality of life for your loved ones.
Discover the multitude of benefits that assisted living offers, especially for seniors who have experienced falls. We'll discuss how these communities provide comprehensive care, a built-in social network, and 24-hour emergency assistance, all of which contribute to peace of mind and potentially lower overall costs compared to staying in a paid-off home.
As a caregiver, your well-being is crucial too, and we'll explore why prioritizing self-care is essential for providing the best care possible. Reach out to me for resources and guidance, including finding a senior advisor in your area. Tune in for valuable insights and practical advice to support you on your caregiving journey.

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.
