Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:26):
All right, all right, all right, good morning everybody. Good
morning here on the eighteenth day of October. Boy, the
falls coming in quick hum. Christmas is right around the corner,
Thanksgiving and all the other things too. I say, hey, hi, everybody,
it's my pleasure to welcome you. To let Grandpa speak.

(00:47):
Grandpa got a lot to say. He is the voice
of the fifty plus and all the rest of us,
the number one show on the Internet. And I'm your host.
I'm Grandpa, and I love everybody. And I believe doubt
shot not killed. Stop it. Stop doing that. You know

(01:08):
it's wrong. Your consciousness tell you that it's wrong. You
ain't got no minutes doing to cut somebody else's life short.
You see, we all know it's wrong to harm other people.
We know that it's an evil act. Don't do the
evil acts to nobody. Be nice, be good, make life
wonderful for everybody, make it like a utopia. Be good.

(01:32):
No matter who do it, what's wrong, it's still wrong.
It cannot be right because one person say I had
a right. But because person said that I did this
is you know it's still wrong. Don't do it. All
humans believe that we're here to make life better. That's
why we came to make life better for everybody. And

(01:53):
we all fit in the part, even though we may
be doing different jobs or whatever it is. Some people
working on the farm that feeds us, some people doing
other things that gives us opportunity to have lights or
whatever we need to see. By all the conveniences that
we have in life, we have everything that we need mostly.

(02:17):
I don't know we having problems with anything or not,
but we have almost everything that we need. So hey,
what we're fighting for. We believe that we're here to
make life better. That's that's what I'm saying. And we
have consciousness that tells us that we should be doing
it better. When you do something bad, anyway, you know
you did it wrong, even a little baby, you know,

(02:39):
when the babies, little baby's sitting around. I was watching
two little babies some time ago, and one had a
little bear, a stuffed animal, and he picked it up
and he was holding it, and another one saw it
and wanted it, so he ran over and grabbed it
and snatched it for the other other other babies snatched

(03:00):
it back, snatch it back. Then the other baby looked
at him and just gave up said no, go on
and take it. But that was a good example of
how in our early stages we do things that we
shouldn't do. Well, after the baby gave it to them,
the other baby felt a little bad about doing what
he did, so they had to make it up. So

(03:24):
the mom came along and took the bear away from
both of them at the time, and then they went
on about their business. But they knew that they were
wrong and that well, the one knew he was wrong
for doing what he did, and the other one knew
he was wrong too. That's why he stopped fighting. That's
basically what we're human beings. The way we are about

(03:45):
thinks we should stop. We don't need to just keep
on attacking each other for what. It doesn't matter, it
does never has. It just ht something in us, the
evil part of us. It comes in and we feel
good like I did something. Know you did something wrong,
and you feel it that you did something wrong. So

(04:06):
stop doing stuff's wrong. Start doing stuff that's right. Think
about that and make your own life even better when
you're doing something right, because when you make just doing
wrong stuff, you're creating wrong stuff for yourself. That's all
it is. Your feelings are not there. You feel bad
of things, you're not happy. Things are wrong for you

(04:27):
because you're thinking about negative stuff for other people. But
it don't work. If you're thinking about negative stuff, you
like the man drinking the poison hoping somebody else has died.
So stay, don't do that. Think about good stuff all
the time that you can. That's what you want to do,
whether we know it or not. We're here to make
life better. That's what we're supposed to be doing, making

(04:49):
life better. That's why we have creative problems with us.
We can create things. We can make things this, and
we can make things that. Whatever I need, I know
I can make it. I remember back any kid on
a scooter. Everybody had a scooter, remember the scooters. They
had a scooter. So I didn't have one. So I
took me a skate I put one skate in the front.

(05:10):
I took the skate park. You not even call it party,
but two part, two pieces. I took the front skate,
put that in the front of skating in the back,
and I made me a scooter. I called it a
skate mobile. Hey, I was doing so I solved my problem.
So even though everybody else had a scooter. We couldn't
afford to buy me a scooter, so I made my scooter.

(05:33):
So that's what I'm saying about life. We don't have
to be going through the problems that we think about
when we unless we when we think about it and
know what we need to do. Is that we do
things because we don't know. We don't understand what they
ask what the solution is. But that's one of the
solutions because we can solve most of our problems we
do not know. You know, like I said, we're just

(05:57):
here to make life better for everybody else as time
goes by. That's what we should be doing, and we should.
When we make life better for ourselves, we do a
lot better. So people say, well, I want to get rich,
do something that people like. Then do something that will
make people happy because people will pay you for it.
And that's mainly how you get rich. There's no shortage

(06:18):
of anything on the space of deserve that we need
or that we think. I mean, we might make up
something that we think is a shortage of it, and
certainly ain't no shortage of money. Money goes on forever.
You know. We got people that got trillions of dollars
now look like and look like you can go. And
I don't know what they're gonna talk talk about. After
they have trillionaires, we have thousand airs, we'll have millionaires,

(06:42):
and we got billionaires. Now we've got trillionaires. So hey,
thing be happening. It's around us all the time. We're
not looking at it. Oh, we think you to it,
and any one of us also can earn it. Earn
that you can if that's what you want to do.
If you keep your mind on it, stay focused on it,
you'll find a way to do it. And that's what
it is. So we don't need to get mad at

(07:03):
somebody else because they did it. We need to thank
them for doing it because they showed us the way.
They showed us that it can be done and successful
people that's what they're doing. We should be glad for
successful people because once they showed that it can be done,
you can do it too. Most anybody can do it
if they really want to do it. So we we
we've got everything that we need. We just don't know

(07:26):
it and we might be complaining, but we need to
stop that. There's no shortage of anything, like I said,
So why do we fight for well, we do weave.
Some must be even willing to die for something that
we you know that that is different that we don't
that we think we need ready to die for it.
We make everything, so while we're gonna die for something

(07:49):
that we all can make and we can so you know,
it's just a matter of fact. I don't want it
to work. I don't want to do this or what
it is. When I can take his, it's much easier.
And when we and when we die, we leave, we
leave all that stuff right here on earth. When we came,
it was here. When we leave, it's gonna we still

(08:10):
be here. And we try to claim, well, I'm leaving
it for my kids or whatever. You know, maybe most
of our children don't want anything that we live in anyway,
or that we leave them. They most last a kid. Now,
then what you're gonna do with your mom and dad's
house when if anything should happen to you, most of
them will tell you right away, the first thing we're
gonna do is sell it. Who's gonna sell their house

(08:34):
because we don't, but they think they want to leave
the house for you so you can have a place
to save and you know, living your life much easier.
Have a step up, you know, at least you don't
have to go out the house. I know of someone
in my family had a house all paid for and
they passed away. And what happened. What happens the people

(09:00):
they sold the house and now they're paying rent. They
didn't think about what they were doing. They sold the
house for the little money and they spent that money
that they got and now they're paying rent when they
could have been living in the house that was all
paid for it. But they didn't want it because that
was mama's house and it was the old house, and
I didn't we didn't like that were you know, get

(09:21):
out of my face. It's talk them silly stuff. You know,
we fight for what we you know, we need to
fight for things differently and think about things in a
different way. We live here, like I said, we leave
here on this earth. Ain't none of going with us
anyway wherever we're going, whether we thought we owned it,
you know, like I said, when we get leave it
to our kids, they're gonna get rid of it. They

(09:42):
don't want it, you know. So we don't need to cheat.
We don't need to line about things. We don't need
to do any of that stuff. Let's just live good
because it's gonna be there when we came here, it's
gonna be there when we leave, and we can get
all the things that we want to get. I'm not
saying we shouldn't have things. We should say have everything
that we can get. You know, yeah, right on, you know,

(10:03):
enjoy a thing. But that comes from you doing the
effort not to you're trying to figure out a way
to take like people nowadays are doing on the internet,
fraud their fraudy card. They got your ATM card, they
got your this card, they got your debit card, they
got your credit card. They're trying to take steal money
from that or whatever. That doesn't make any sense. We

(10:25):
just go get a job and earn you some money,
because they've got plenty of jobs out there the people
to learn. If you don't have a skill, learn a
skill and then earn you, earn you some money. That way,
you don't have to be taking shout and chance and
on going to prison. Why you don't take a chance
on going to prison when you can go take a

(10:45):
class and solve the problem anyway, and you solve a
problem forever. Other than that once you go to prison,
you ain't gonna have an opportunity to solve the problem anymore.
So it makes sense. So we got to take care
of when we ourselves and this in this world and
realize we're here to make life better for everybody else.
So when we leave, we left something good or wanted.

(11:08):
Let me ask you this, Do you think it would
be good if we all were happy? Man, wouldn't it
be nice? Everybody was happy, everybody was enjoying life the
way they want to enjoy life, and just living there.
We were and peaceful doing things people. It's good when
things are peaceful in life. You know, you live a nice,

(11:29):
peaceful life and you just feel comfortable every day. It's comfortable.
You're not stretching yourself out with a lot of the
worry and this, that and the other poisoning you in
your commune system. You're not doing things like that. So
things that matter to us, we haven't really thought about
them too much. But this is some of the things
that we've thought about. But we need to spend more

(11:51):
time thinking about ourselves because we live within ourselves. We
don't live out there. We're outside doing everything we can
on the outside and nothing on the inside. It's our
insights that we need to worry about because that's where
we live. You see in your mind, in your head,

(12:12):
and you want to make that as better or as
good as we can. And that's why when we get older,
older people have a lot to tell you. So that's
what I'm trying to do. Now, give you a lot
of wisdom and a lot of common sense so that
you can get around all the foods and stuff, all
the stuff that holds you up or mess you up,
or stretch you out, or keep you going in the

(12:32):
wrong direction. It lets you know you can solve these problems.
And that's what we're here for. You can do it.
You know, we can create anything we desire. You already
see that they got airplanes, cars, all kinds of stuff.
You can create whatever you want to create if you
learn and apply yourself is look around all the stuff

(12:53):
that we made everything you look where it is, so
it was all made for us to enjoy whatever it is.
As I get in my car, drive down the street,
I cruise around, I make it it this way. I
even make it nice and pretty, uh for me to
screw around for my enjoyment, for our pleasure. We have everything,

(13:13):
so why are we upset about anything? You know, we
have it. We have it all and every and it's
if you're convenient. It's convenient for everybody to do it.
I know some people don't want to do it. Some
people walk the streets. Some people say I'm homeless, some
people say I'm simpdy. But when you get tired of
being that and you make an effort, you could you
most of the people who said they were homeless, so

(13:35):
they solve their problem. It's solve the problem. Well, I
used to be homeless until I just got tired of it.
And that's what exact one got me a job. And
that's what you need to think about it. It's just
common sense. That's all it is. It's our common sense.
It's easier than we think. We want to make it
into a big problem. We wan't think. I got to
be an atomic energy scientist. I got to be this

(13:58):
kind of scientist. I gotta know how to new do this.
I got to make a computer. You don't have to
do any of that. You have had to make an
effort to what you want. Somebody been sending me in
letter telling me about buy a house, buy one house,
living in three years when the equity be allowed to
take that equity and buy another one, you know, and
buy another one. If you do that a couple of times,

(14:20):
you are on your way to having all you want
to have, money or wise or whatever. If that's what
it is you want. If you want something else, it's
also there too, which is good health. They've got programs
for good health. We've got programs to keep you mentally alert,
all kinds of things, got programs for you to travel,
for you to enjoy your life. It's it's we got everything.

(14:42):
What we need to do is get busy, enjoin it.
We're instead of passing it over like saying what we
don't have, forget about what you don't have, think about
what you want. While you're spending time thinking about what
you don't have, it don't make any difference. If you
don't have it, it ain't worth you thinking about it. So
that's common sense too. The world belongs to all of us.

(15:04):
The world belongs to all of us. Make sure we
understand that it doesn't belong to ones person, people, one
set of people. Whatever belongs to all of us. And
we were all giving the space to live in it,
and we got some people on this continent, some people
on that continent, some people. As long as we mind
our own business, everybody would be fine. We do all

(15:25):
the things that we're supposed to do. To enjoy life.
We have to live and be happy all the time
and enjoy the good things of life. Because there's so
many wonderful good things in life that you can have
and that you can enjoy, and that life is good
about them. So stop and think about it. When people
live together, that's what we do. We enjoy ourselves. That's

(15:48):
when we feel our best. And when you've been living
a long time, you get to understand this. You feel it,
you know it, and you can see it. Happeness is beautiful.
Clap your hand if you believe in happiness, clap your hand. Anyway,
it's all common sense, as I said, And that's the
first part of the show. The next part of the show,

(16:09):
we're going to talk about how to stop seniors from falling.
And there's a lot of falling that people are doing.
And when these fallings happen, these people become in the
they become dependent, and also they can have worse issues afterwards.
So there are steps to keep us from falling. But
That's what we're going to talk about a little bit later,

(16:30):
so stay tuned. I'll be right back.

If you've been waiting to go solar, don't wait any longer.
Propose legislation ending the thirty percent federal tax credit could
pass this summer and go into effect by December thirty first.
With utility rates rising year after year and summer hikes
with no end in sight, now is the time to
lock in fixed energy costs for years to come. As
Guard Energy is a local, family owned company that serves

(19:41):
southern California since two thousand and eight. With over four
thousand flawless installs and personalized service you can trust call
eight five five seven six zero energy. That's eight five
five seven six zero three six three seven before waiting
costs you thirty percent more as Guard Energy local, trusted, proven.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Hey, hey, be back here in the second half of
the show, and we're going to talk about older people falling.
Most people probably not at the age where you're falling,
but you might be on your way. So we thought
this might be a good idea to tell you upfront.
And it's from the National Council on Agent. They come

(20:40):
up with a lot of good programs. They represent a
lot of senior people that they help them. They developed
multiple experts over the years and they come up with
a program for National Falls Prevention Action Plan and they
give you some ideas. I'm going to give you the
ideas of what they're saying. Now. You may not be

(21:00):
falling right now, you may not be thinking about this,
but that's what happens to people who don't think about it.
It happens to them before they know what is happening.
Is like when I first had vertigo. I never knew
about vertigo, and all of a sudden I got vertigo.
One time. I couldn't get up. I could the walls
and things were flying up and down around me, but

(21:22):
I wasn't prepared for it. Had I been prepared for it,
I've been able to handle it better because I got
really stressed out and nervous because of it. But I
didn't know people had to be would go through that.
So it's the same thing with falls now. The National
Consolation on Agent Research estimates that they're spending forty five

(21:42):
million dollars for the bake this program work and the
merchant to get the message out to all the singers.
If they don't, they're gonna see and they'll save one
point two billion dollars. That's how much this thing has
cost us through Medicare and other programs. People falling and
they could prevent all that and stop falling, and also

(22:03):
say they're independence because you don't want to start falling
and you can't take care of you of it? Why
you got a cane or you. I'll see more and
more people in wheelchairs too. They're they're in the wheelchairs
because they can't. I guess they can't fuss without it.
So when even when they come to the grocery stores,

(22:23):
I guess they make it. Some of them have these
buggets in their cars, the little things. They unfold them
and they get out in and they start riding and
all that. So, yeah, you know, you want to keep
yourselves so that you can move around like you always have.
You want to keep your independence, you know. Anyway, the
Council says the voice for every person's right to age

(22:45):
as well, we should age, well, we should have that right.
Today's released by this information is and it's an integrated
strategy to significantly reduce the number of falls among older people.
So they got a program for that. And as I've
said before, there's always an answer to most of the solutions.

(23:07):
I mean, I mean there's always an answer or a
problem to most of our and a solution to most
of our problems. One of the nation's most pressing but
really address public health challenge is senior people falling. So
you know, we always try to make them give you
something on the show that nobody else is doing or
talking about. But this is a very important subject that

(23:29):
people should be talking about it and I'm here to
tell you all about it as I can today. So
pay attention that you might do help yourself from falling,
because once you fall, you may hit your head, you
can break your ribs, you can break arms, you can
break different parts of your body. You may if you
hit your head, you can you know, it goes anywhere

(23:51):
from you could even harm yourself enough the way you
pass away where you would die just from that one fall.
So I'm going to try to give you the things
that help you to prevent that from ever happening to you,
and it shouldn't have The action plan provides concrete steps
and they can't reduce the number of falls because falls

(24:13):
injury real bad. And this will help prevent injuries for
the next ten years if you follow these plans or
just listen to it. And it's being released in advance,
so this year's annual or wearing this week, so it's
time to fall in their tracks. It's time for false
to stop in their tracks. That's what I'm trying to say.

(24:35):
We need to stop these tracks falls from happening the people.
Like I said people, most people don't know about it
until afterwards. Although they have come up with these things
called alert Alert things for people who fall and can't
get up. But we want to try to prevent you
from falling in the first place. And that's what the
National Council on Aging is up to and us what

(24:55):
the as a nation, we can do much more to
help older adults avoid the these falls. All we got
to do is listen to it and come up with
a solution and the problem, and this is what this
is about, and they're devastating effects and costs in these falls.
False physic requires a multi disciplinary approach and that's exactly
what this plan prosolses and we can do. We all

(25:18):
know that sin and own some prevention is worth a
pound of cure. We know about that. And the cheapest
medical visit is one that never happens. That's the best
medical visits you can So what we want to do,
like Grandma would say, this winter is coming, you're gonna

(25:40):
have a cold. So we're gonna have to give you
three sixes or we're gonna have to give you some
other kind of medicine. And used to line us up,
you know as kids. You know, back in the day,
they would line up. It's trying to prevent you from
having a cold. We had colds anywhere, you know, they
weren't that bad, but they would they We went through
that prevention. I guess it did work in a way.

(26:01):
And now it's the flu. It's a different thing, but
this is what this is about. It's the same parallel thing.
That's why preventative action can be a win win thing
for older people all across our nation everywhere, you know,
everywhere in the US. As well as the taxpayers. It
helps them too, because they got to pay all the

(26:22):
bills now, thet the National Falls Prevention Plan is critical
to step forward to ensuring that people have access to
dedicated resources and quality care needs to stand strong. That's
what they need. So I want to thank the National
Council of Agent for their leadership and doing this and

(26:42):
coming up with the program. And they're working the work
the same way, and that's what our program is about,
helping seniors to be the most the best they can
be and live a wonderful life. Now, falls are not
an inevitable part of the agent. They're serious, and they're preventable.
It's a public health issue. They're consternation billions of dollars.

(27:06):
So we want to try to stop that, and we
want to take care of ourselves as well, care for expenses.
Each year. Now, for more than a decade, there has
been significant investments in different kinds of plans and evidence
based on false prevention programs. So they've been working on it.
So I think now they may have one that they

(27:28):
feel it's work, and in the coming year and beyond,
the focus will be on scaling a universal approach that
allows for nationwide data collection and evaluation of the outcomes,
which will reflect the return on your investment. Now, the
strategy will be focused on national, state, and local efforts
and a common approach to reduce falls among seniors. And

(27:52):
that can be very expensive and also damaging to the
person as well. They'll say one in four Americans after
the age of sixty five will fall each year, one
in four. So I don't know, you know, they got
one in four of this. They got all kinds of

(28:12):
other things and problems too. Now, falls are the leads
and causes. They can be fatal. These falls can be
really fatal. There's a lot of people that I've heard of.
You know. Back in the day, they used to say
that if a man falls and breaks his hip, he
will not live longer than maybe two or three years afterwards.
And it was more or less like true. I don't know.

(28:33):
I think they've solved that problem. But anyway, some people
will now fall and they hit their head and now
they can't think right, or there's something else is happening
to them, or they, like I said, they may lose
their life. I know, they're going to lose their independence,
and they become socially isolated. So they've become very difficult.

(28:57):
It becomes very difficult for them to live their life
in it more and function properly. So you want to
make sure you live your life, prevent a fall and
live your life normally as you grow older, and as
you grow older, you want to live the best life
that you can live. You know. Now, the Medicare costs
for accidental failure falls are usually like eighty billion, wow,

(29:19):
eighty billion every year. By two thirty, the cost of
shooting fall related injuries is projected to be. It has
growing is respected to be now one hundred billion dollar business.
That is a lot of people, and it's a lot
of costs that somebody got to pay. And we're having

(29:41):
problems as you know, with our health money anyway, So
I'll see it like that. Yet, falls are preventable, and
evidence based programs that reduce falls can risk to help
the other people, help older people to stay in the
and we want them to stay independent because if they

(30:03):
stay independent, they can still live their life to their
best time right now for them to live, engage in
their communities. They can stay a part in their community.
They don't have to be isolated. They can be a
part of being doing everything Now. The research reveals that
partitionans in these programs experience a fifty percent reduction it's

(30:25):
a fifty six month reduction or injury fault and two
percent reduction in a number of times that people fall
or they are falling. So it's a lot of times.
I guess what they're indicating that people have more than
one fault. So if you've had a fall, you know
it is time for you especially to address the problem

(30:46):
and start working on ways to prevent that from happening
to you ever again, and that's what we want to
and all the people, all of us who never fallen.
I've never had a falling, but I'm prepared to get
myself ready and keep my strength up so that I
don't have that problem. I don't want to go through that,

(31:06):
and I don't think anybody else should be investment that said,
Researchers estimate that forty six million dollar annual investment in
false prevention programs can save the federal government a lot
of money. It can save in between two hundred and
sixty million and one point two billion dollars, that's what

(31:27):
it could save. And this is what this program to
do is to initiate the program that we're talking about.
It only cost you forty five million. And the main
thing about that did doing this kind of a thing,
even though it may cost you a lot, cost you
a forty five million, is not nearly as bad as

(31:48):
paying for him. If we don't do nothing, you can't
just sit by and say we don't do nothing. You know,
the Nation False Position Action Plan was developed to overcome
it's culminating. It's a two year summit that they drew
up that it started with one hundred and eighty two
people invited and partitionants and centuries and people in government,

(32:12):
also in healthcare, agent services, disability service. They all got
together and they came up with this plan that we're
talking about now. The plan outlines six integrated goals that
you must do. So I'm going to start here and
start giving you number one. So if you're all getting older,

(32:32):
you know, like a lot of people are, and all
you may need to pay close attention. Even if it's
not you, you might help somebody else. It may be your
relative or somebody your spouse or somebody who has those problems.
You will know what to do and how to help them,
because other than that, they're going to be like a
terrific burden that you have to bear. Okay, expand awareness.

(32:56):
You've got to expand people to the aware of this problem.
It's a national communications program that we must do to
increase and refrain from the public's understanding of falls, to
make them understand, to build knowledge about how to avoid them,
and to boost demand for program to help prevent them.

(33:17):
That's what this program is for, and that's why it's
important for you to listen and try and learn some
of the things because you may be one of the
people who fall. You never know. You go along, you
think everything is fine, and all of a sudden, bam,
there's something that's happening to you. Okay, that was the
number one thing that did. They have six goals that

(33:37):
they can do that you can follow and to keep
yourself healthy and strong. Now, Number two broadened funding by
increasing spending on falls and preventing, awareness and screening, assessments, intervention,
and management. We will make it much easier to obtain

(34:00):
the funding that we need from governments and health system
and to share programs if we can show that the
money will be spent for a good purpose. And so
that's what we that's what number two is. So all
of us should chip in, especially if you're over sixty five,
and even if you're younger than sixty five. You never know,

(34:23):
because some people may be falling. You know, there's one
thing about all all disease things don't happen to you
just because you're getting older. It happens to you all
the time. And a lot of the things that happen
to older citizens are happening to younger people. But we
don't get into it as much. We don't say it
as much about it, and we don't think something happened

(34:44):
to an older person or old that must be a
senior moment or something like that. They'll say things like
that to try to cover it up and I don't know,
I guess soon to take away the energy out of
it or whatever, you know, But that's not what we
what we're about. We want to put the energy back
in and we want to make sure that we can

(35:04):
get this funding. And we can get the funding if
you show you have a program that can work for
the people, the government or health services or people who
just donate money to different things will come along and
help us, help us do something because you are doing
something that will work, and that's what they're paying for.
People want to know if their money is being used properly.

(35:24):
So when you start to organize money or to get
money to have to fight a program that needs to
be fought by the public, that's one way to do it.
If you can't get the government to do Okay. Number three,
scale intervention by expanding clinical interventions. We need clinics and
all that community based prevention programs. We need programs in

(35:47):
the community so there is a capacity to help all
older people at risk because we have different programs that
they can we through the National Organization on the Council
of Aging. That's one of the programs, and that's who's
without this program here, and they're wanting to get themselves

(36:09):
going so that they can become a call in the wheel,
so that they can do something to help older people
to live longer and to stay healthy and not necessarily
be falling and causing a problem that's very expensive. And
you know, most of us are not in a position
to really. A lot of people don't have insurance, a

(36:32):
lot of people don't have this, don't have that to
cover a lot of these things. So it has to
be other organizations come in and they come in and
they come in, they're helping, they want to do something
good and just show you, to show you, we've got
a country a lot of people who are dedicated to
making life good and are dedicated to trying to make

(36:52):
life better for other people, and they're in this country.
They may not get a lot of praise, they may
not get a lot of accolades and all that, but
they're there and they want to do the program. And
that's what this program is proven that We have people
there with prevention to try to help do programs that
would help everybody, and they would help you be healthy,

(37:13):
and they would help you be strong and help you
needli along wonderful life. And that's what we're are all about.
And that's the beautiful part. That's why I said a program,
every program where everybody's happy and doing good. Hey, you
can't beat it. We're all there working for each other.
It takes a village to take care of each other,
one of us. So that's what this program for number

(37:34):
four means. Coordinate care by creating an infrastructure that supports
partnerships among the healthcare providers and the community based aging networks.
You coordinate between them, and all of them are there
to help all of them. There are there to serve
the purpose. A lot of times we don't do that.

(37:56):
A lot of time they have Senior Citizen centers all
over with a lot of great information, and then a
lot of time we don't even visit them. We I
an't going up to center centerces our Senior Citizens Center. Uh,
we don't participate. We don't go, but we all should go.
I've gone, I've joined you join them. You put your
name down you become a member to them and they

(38:19):
offer a lot of help and and you can get
a lot of help that way. And it's something that
you all. They're the group like seniors, work together with
each other to might make life better for each other.
They need each other's support. We do. We need each
other's support. I said they, but I'm one of them
as well. We need I mean, I left myself out

(38:44):
saying they, well, we need this kind of support. We
need all the support we can get, all the support
that we can help as best as you get older.
Because a lot of people put the well you're old,
you push you on the side of the road. Just
get out the way. That's all you got to do.
You don't matter anymore, but you do. You do matter
as long as you live it. You have a wonderful

(39:06):
life ahead of you. You have a lot of good
things contributed. Some of the greatest things that has been
contributed to our society had come from people who are
way up in age, like sixty seventy. Some of us
have written great books and all that in their eighties.
So you do have a wonderful life there. And just
because you're getting old, on mean, you've got to be
trash or sput aside. You can. You know, some people say, well,

(39:30):
we don't care about them falling, Well, a lot of
us do, and that's what we're trying to spit the
point across. We don't care about what other people be
saying about that because they're not trying to do anything
worthwhile to try to help other people. But this is
one thing that programs that would help help older people

(39:50):
in a lot of things in their life. Like I
was saying, falls can sometimes cause you your life. You can
use your life from falling in your home. If you
fall and you hit your head it a certain way,
you know you lost your life. You may have lost
your independence and everything. So it's important you're saying, well,
I don't care about falling. I'm not far. I'm done

(40:10):
just saying there. But hey, this is about the future
for the next ten years, to prevent falling that you
may happen. You may not be falling today, but you
could be falling tomorrow. I say it that way. Yeah,
So I'm trying to keep it light so you can
enjoy it as well. Okay, Now, number five on the
this it goes of things like that. Here's number five

(40:35):
harness technology by pursuing hardware and software developers with falls
experts to collaborate on false prevention products. They have many
products that keep you from falling. There are accessible needs
for older adults now one of the bigger problems to have.
And I was talking to a friend this morning and

(40:55):
he was saying he was going to get a cane. Well,
that's what you get as a cane. At one time,
my sadding nerve went out. I had a cane, and
so I wanted them want to fall. I didn't want to,
you know, go through that. So I had a cane.
So you too can if you haven't think you're gonna
have a problem. Some of the things you can get.
They may not be saying that here, but I'm just
gonna add it to you. Get you a cane, Get

(41:17):
you a good looking cane. Get your cane is fancy
if you don't feel a feeling. But I don't be
walking around with no cane. Well it's better to walk
around with that cane than be falling. So and who
cares about what other people got to say? They ain't
saying nothing anyway in your favor, so so why you're
worried about them? Don't even think about what they're trying

(41:39):
to say. What other people think about you is none
of your business. That's their problem because whatever they're thinking,
they're creating for themselves. They might think they passing it
on to you, but they are not. If they're disrespecting you,
or they don't like you, or in some way, that's
a problem in them. That's one other reason why I
always say I love everybody because I take all the
negativism and all the other stuff out of me. So

(42:02):
people are looking me in they'll say, how come you
look like you are? You look like you're sixty years old.
You look like you're this, and you look like you're that.
How do you maintain yourself like that? That's one of
the ways you do it. If you're thinking good, you're
looking good. So remember that. Remember these steps are important.
And somebody is ready, it's concerned about you falling or

(42:25):
you might be going to fall if you haven't fallen
falling already. These are all important now to remember. So okay,
So that's what I'm trying to get across to you today,
And that's what I am getting across to you today.
You hear me improve data collection and research by gathering
more and more information. That's what everybody has to do,

(42:47):
and that's what these organizations will be doing. There'll be
connecting studies to understand the challenges and the needs that
you seniors may have even after they fall, and they
have a lot of issues and they have a lot
of problems. So this is one program that should be addressed.
And nobody's been saying too much about that about people.

(43:07):
You know, they talked about different sicknesses that seniors do have,
but these are problems that when seniors get so weak.
This is a senior problem because younger people are strong
enough and active enough to you know, to keep themselves
going and keep them sin. I would imagine some of
the younger people fall and harm themselves as well from

(43:28):
accidents and different things like that. But seniors be falling
for they may just be walking along and all of
a sudden, bam, are going up and down the stairs, bam,
and they fall and they roll down them stairs and
hurt themselves even worse. So there's been a lot of people,
We've heard a lot of people, some famous people who
have fallen in their home and you know, that was

(43:51):
more or less like an end prop in happening something
that ended their lives as they know it, by falling.
So what we want to do now is to get
the information to you that falling is a thing that
people need to worry about, especially seniors. So let's get
into that. Let's really realize what it is and prevent

(44:11):
it from happening to us. We don't want to happen
to you now. The twenty twenty five plan that they
come it expands proposals that were issued before and these
include stigma related to falling, stigma, stigma related to falling,
lack of awareness and that's what I'm fulfilling now, making
you aware of it about the issue of work can

(44:34):
be done and the lack of coordination among community and
clinical providers. Can they can make a big difference in
something like that. To know them, that is, to know
that it's there, to know that somebody is there. It
really works out because if you have to fall and
you wonder what can I do work? Who can I
turn to? Where there are people that you can turn to,

(44:54):
And one of the people that you might want to
turn to is the National Council for Seniors for Aging
Seniors n's the Council on Aging seniors. That's one organization.
It's the nci so c A Association. Yeah, so look
that up and then if you haven't had a problem,

(45:16):
you know there are other organizations. There are many organizations,
is true. But the idea now is to get the
organizations to realize that they need to step up their
programs on fall seniors falling, so that's when people's fall,
they have somewhere to go. They don't just have to
go down there to the doctor, and the doctor's not

(45:37):
looking at you in the same way as it would
if you had something supporting you or groups supporting you
or whatever, because they handled just that problem, and most
doctors hand so many problems, they don't handle that one problem.
When you walk in and say I fail on my
wife field, they is gonna treat you like it was
a regular case or whatever it is for the damage

(45:57):
that they have. But if youre going to with the
National Aging Association, then you tell them you fail, they
know what to do. It's like I'm getting all over
I thought about I think about the blue zone. I
don't know the blue zone, but I thought about, well,
I'd like to join a blue zone. I don't know
if they have a blue zone or now. But the

(46:17):
blue zone also helps people to as they aging. It
helps them to know the things that they're gonna face
and come and come involved with as they age. And
a lot of people don't know that, so they figured
well out, oh it's just the old person's thing. No
it's not. No, it's not. That's why you need to
know what it really is if something happens to you

(46:40):
or whatever it is, so you can deal with it
in the proper way, you know. And they got a
lot of different things going on now that are bothering people.
They're health wives, especially with men in consonance. He runnings
back and forth, the bathroom, you can't sleep at night.
There's organizations and groups that help solve that problem. And
if you don't know about it, you just be keep
going through it and going through it and going through it,

(47:02):
and you know, you know, then you don't have a solution.
So it's programs like let Grandpa Speak that would give
you answers and solutions to some of the problems that
you can get old would and go on living your
life in a beautiful way. Okay, Bile, We're working to
reduce falls among older Americans. We allow for healthier, more

(47:24):
independent living. And that's what people nobody don't want to
go to dependent living, assisted living. They want to avoid
that'll stay at home. Now. We also lessen the financial burden,
and that can be very expensive trying to get with that,
you know, to trying to address the healthcare system that

(47:46):
would that you had to go to get to be
treated for a fall if you have to fall, you know, well,
I'm proud to work with alongside. But there's a some senators,
there's some solutions. There's a people in the government who
are working to implement a practical solution to benefit our
seniors and also to relieve the tax players appaying so
much money. And the action plan the details not only

(48:09):
the steps required to realize each goal, but also the
potential for barriers to be a successful life. And that's
what we want to do, you know, want to life wonderful,
successful life every day in our life and know we're
living now. We look forward to working with a broad
range of partners and government and health and social services.

(48:29):
So they will be doing that and so they should
be coming out with programs keep your eyes and ears
open and hey should be all right, thanks should be
good for you. There's just an answer and solution. If
you have the fall, you don't haven't flashing. This is
what you can think about the National Counsel on Aging.
It's the national voice every person's right to age well.

(48:50):
We should be able to age and live a order
for life. Working with thousands of people, we provide reduced
to bring the the tools, the best actresses, and they
advocate for every person can age with health and financial
security that you may need. So and so that's what
the program is. That's what it's about. And I hope

(49:12):
I've told you something that you if it happens to you,
you would have an idea of what to do and
how to solve a solution and how to solve the problem.
So that's it. It's a Grandpa here every week with
this program telling you how to live your life good.
And I used to try to bring up something that's
most people are not talking about now. Most people are

(49:32):
not talking about seniors falling, but it is a big
problem for seniors to be falling. Okay, hey, Grandpa comes
up every week. Make sure you listen. Make sure you're
tuning in and I'll talk to you next week. You're
listening to the number one program on the Internet. Talk
to you, be good, I love you all.

Speaker 7 (49:49):
Bye bye.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
In the PAS
