In today’s episode of Message In the Middle we’re diving into one of life’s most important, and often overlooked topics, aging well.
We’re asking the big questions many of us face as we grow older or support aging loved ones:
- How do we maintain independence?
- Is aging at home the best choice for everyone?
- What do we need to know about planning and paying for care?
Joining me is the incredibly knowledgeable Laura Lynn Morrissey, a Certified Fitness Trainer, Nutrition Coach, Dementia Practitioner, and Aging Specialist. Laura brings a wealth of experience from the worlds of healthcare, finance, fitness, and elder wellness. She’s also the founder of SilverSavvy, a platform dedicated to helping older adults and caregivers make informed, confident choices about aging with dignity and support.
In this episode, we explore:
- What inspired Laura to create SilverSavvy and champion the aging community
- Key factors to consider when deciding whether to age at home or transition to assisted living
- What to look for in a home care provider—and red flags to avoid
- Practical advice on navigating the insurance system and maximizing benefits
- Essential products for fall prevention, memory support, and post-hospital recovery
- Laura’s empowering message about how we can all thrive as we age
Whether you’re planning for your own future or supporting a loved one, this conversation is filled with expert guidance, practical tools, and reassuring insight.
