    The 411 on Home Health & In-Home Care

    Home health care helps older adults live independently for as long as possible, even with an illness or injury. It covers a wide range of services and can often delay the need for long-term nursing home care. Home health care may include occupational and physical therapy, speech therapy, and skilled nursing. Join Desiree King, Lorna King-Bobb & Pauline Smiley from Livewell Pathway as they discuss The 411 on Home Health and In-Home Care.

    The 411 on Smart Clothing

    Myant knits sensors and actuators into everyday textiles, giving them the ability to sense and react to the human body. This continuous bidirectional interface to the human operating system will empower humanity to transform its capabilities and performance, help people proactively manage health and deliver treatment, and allow us to build better connections to our own selves and those around us.   This is what we call Textile Computing™ or as I like to call it “Smart” Clothing.   Myant has worked tirelessly, with the brightest minds in the industry, to offer families with elderly parents a solution! They have designed a comfortable, user-friendly connected garment called Skiin, that shares biometrics like resting heart rate, core body temperature, activity levels and more, in real-time via their ‘Connected Life App’.   With Skiin garments you can have peace of mind, knowing your loved ones are happy and healthy – from anywhere, at any time.   Myant is now accepting applicants for their Skiin Early Access Program. The Early Access Program gives participants, and a family member or close friend (program partner), the opportunity to try Skiin at no cost. In exchange, they require participants and their program partners to complete one weekly survey over the course of four weeks, and a final feedback interview with a member of our Skiin team.   Join Desiree King and Gagan Gill from Myant Inc., as they discuss The 411 on “Smart” Clothing and how to become a part of their Skiin Beta Program.

    The 411 on Active Adult Lifestyle Communities

    Active adult communities refer to either an age-targeted or an Age-restricted community designed for people aged 55 or older.  These communities offer the best in retirement living, creating a community of like-minded people while removing many of the mundane burdens of life in a regular community or suburb.   Homes for active adults tend to be single-family detached homes, and typically range from 1500 to 2,000 square feet, and lots tend to be less than a quarter of an acre. Join Desiree King and  Stephanie Lane from Geranium as they discuss The 411 on Active Adult Lifestyle Communities & The Courts of Canterbury.

    The 411 on Funeral Pre-Planning

    Planning a funeral service can be overwhelming. Nobody shows you how. Nobody even talks about what to do when a loved one dies. Trying to make funeral arrangements in the aftermath of a tragedy can be one of the most difficult things you will ever face. Preparation brings peace of mind.  Planning your own funeral isn’t exactly top of mind for most of us, but there are many benefits to planning ahead, both for you and your family. Join Desiree King and Minnelle Williams as they discuss The 411 on Funeral Pre-Planning. To view the Video of this Podcast, which includes demonstrations, visit The Senior Living 411 Inc.

You may become unable to care for yourself for 90 days or more at any point in your life. Long term care insurance can cover some of the costs of a care facility or a caregiver in your own home following an accident or illness. There are so many myths surrounding Long Term Care Insurance, so let’s get it straight! Let’s learn what Long Term Care Insurance is and so much more.

    The 411 on Cognitive Skills & The Aging Brain

    Every day we perform hundreds of cognitive tasks but are mostly unaware of the effort involved. These tasks take different forms, such as noticing colors, remembering names, or calculating time on a watch. As people age, their movements and reflexes slow and their hearing and vision weaken. The question is how do we identify whether these changes signify normal aging or Dementia, or severe memory loss that interferes with daily life, which is not part of the normal aging process. Let’s learn what’s healthy aging and what’s not. Join Desiree King and Carolyn Tinglin as they discuss The 411 on Cognitive Skills & The Aging Brain.

    The 411 on Surviving COVID-19

    For most people when the conversation around COVID-19 starts, one of the first comments is “Do you even know anybody who has it ?”  Most people you speak to, myself included do not.   Outside of what you see on the news, and out of all my family and friends there have been no cases. One day while on Facebook, I came across a testimony shared by one of my Facebook friends detailing her brother’s experience with COVID-19.  I have seen a lot of videos and read a lot of stories around this topic, however, this was one of the most detailed recounts of the experience with Covid that I have heard thus far. I immediately felt a need to share his story.  I reached out to her and asked if her brother would be willing to allow me to interview him on the show and he said yes. Join Desiree King along with a special guest, for The 411 on Surviving COVID-19. To view the Video of this Podcast, which includes demonstrations, visit The Senior Living 411 Inc.
