Aging In Full Bloom Capital Health Care Network

Elizabeth Marcus is my guest. She is the author of Don't Say a Word: A Daughter's Two Cents.

The book is about Elizabeth's parents, Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s. They begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends.

Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child.

Though unique in its loony details, Don’t Say A Word! will resonate with beleaguered adult-children everywhere who will recognize the special misery of watching their parents become taken over by dementia.

No one says aging is easy. And I think this poem from Patricia Fleming does a great job in reminding us about that.

What does it really mean, family owned and operated?

Capital Health Care Network celebrates 40 years in business in 2021. My guest are sisters (and daughters) of the original owners, Bob and Lynn Huff. Sarah Manning, Chief of Community Design and Kara Bernsen, Chief of Network Development.

Kara and Sarah cover how their parents started the business started 40 years ago, and how over the decades has come to change to meet the demands and challenges of serving our older adult population.

What is most important to them are these four values...

Compassion: We approach others with an open heart and understanding.
Leadership: We will inspire others to set high standards.
Respect: We respect others and the contributions they make and will treat them with dignity.
Gratitude: We are grateful for the responsibility and opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of senior adults.

Coupled with the mission of seniors...

Enjoying a safe environment
Receiving quality healthcare
Gaining opportunities for spiritual, social and intellectual engagement

Who doesn't remember working the broom and towel in front of the TV with Body By Jake?

Now in is 60's, Jake knows how important it is to stay active and physically healthy. I talk with Jake about his beginnings on TV, and what he is doing today to help older adults stay active during COVID-19.

Jake started as a personal trainer with clients including Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford, whom he trained for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Steinfeld became Chairman of the California Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2006 and served until 2011 under Governor Jerry Brown.

As a tribute to his lifelong devotion to physical fitness and for his persistent teaching of the Fitness Life Style, he was inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame, Class of 2006.

Jake was named Chairman of the National Foundation for Governors' Fitness Councils in 2012. Through the cooperation of public and private partnerships, the NFGFC rewards "Don't Quit" fitness centers to elementary and middle schools who show innovative ways to promote fitness and nutrition in their schools and communities across the United States.

As Jake states, "We all have dreams. And, you know, a lot of folks don't don't act on their dreams because they get they get afraid. They feel they're not to be able to succeed. Well, maybe they talk about their dreams and the people they talk to about them, but they maybe might not be as positive as they would hope them to be. It's not that they don't want you to succeed, but like my parents, they don't want to see you get hurt."
