The Future of Nursing Homes: Smarter Training & Stronger Partnerships For decades, nursing homes have struggled with staffing shortages and outdated training models. But what if we could change that? The Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative is an innovative program connecting schools of nursing with nursing homes to provide better training, improve workforce development, and enhance residents' quality of life. This initiative, which started in Pennsylvania, is now expanding nationwide. According to Nancy Zients, Chief Program & Strategy Officer at the Jewish Healthcare Foundation, the project was born out of the devastation of COVID-19 in nursing homes. "We knew there had to be a better way," she explains. Rather than simply increasing staff numbers, the program focuses on smarter training, interdisciplinary teamwork, and student engagement—bringing a fresh perspective to long-term care. Kim Ratliff, Director of Nursing at Wesleyan Hans Living Main Line, highlights the program’s resident-centered focus. "We’re improving quality of life by paying attention to what matters most—mentality, mobility, medications, and personal interests." Traditionally, nursing students get little exposure to nursing homes. Taylor McMahon, Director of Nursing at The Willows, notes that many students enter the program with misconceptions. "Once they experience long-term care firsthand, they see the depth of the work and the relationships they can build." The program has already led to new hires, with students choosing to stay in long-term care after graduation. With successful pilot programs in Pennsylvania, the Teaching Nursing Home Collaborative is now expanding. The goal? Transform nursing homes across the country into centers of learning, quality care, and professional development.…

In this episode, I speak with Cameron Huddleston, a financial expert specializing in protecting older adults from financial exploitation. Cameron explains the two primary types of financial abuse—scams from strangers and exploitation by people the victim knows—and discusses how quickly financial abuse can happen, particularly in caregiving situations. She offers practical advice for families transitioning a loved one into assisted living, such as removing financial documents, limiting access to money, and automating bill payments to reduce the risk of exploitation. We also talk about how to approach the sensitive topic of financial planning with aging parents, focusing on empowering them to remain in control while setting up safeguards like powers of attorney and estate planning documents. Cameron shares resources available on her website, including an emergency organizer and scam red flag sheet, along with information about her book Mom and Dad, We Need to Talk , which provides more tips on navigating these important conversations and protecting loved ones' finances.…

In this episode of This is Getting Old: Moving Towards an Age-Friendly World , financial expert Cameron Huddleston shares essential tips for recognizing and preventing scams targeting older adults. Scammers have become more sophisticated, using fear, urgency, and emotional manipulation to steal personal information, drain bank accounts, and isolate victims. From tech support and romance scams to investment schemes, these fraudsters take advantage of vulnerabilities, often leaving their victims financially and emotionally devastated. To protect yourself, watch out for red flags such as unusual payment requests (gift cards, wire transfers), pressure to act immediately, or isolation tactics. If you suspect a scam, cut off contact with the fraudster, consult someone you trust, and report it to authorities like the Federal Trade Commission or the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging’s Fraud Hotline. Education and awareness are key to preventing these scams—talking to your loved ones about these tactics can help them stay safe.…

In this episode, I talk with Brandon Davis about the Davis Focus Project, an innovative mental health program using neurofeedback to help veterans overcome challenges like PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Brandon explains how neurofeedback works by mapping the brain, identifying dysregulated areas, and providing real-time feedback to help the brain self-correct. This non-invasive approach allows individuals to heal while doing everyday activities, like watching TV, with many seeing significant improvements after just a few sessions. Remarkably, not a single person who’s completed their program remains on medication, highlighting its transformative impact. Brandon also shares how neurofeedback compares to years of meditation in helping the brain achieve mental clarity and self-regulation. The Davis Focus Project offers personalized care, regularly updating brain maps to track progress and target the most pressing issues. Even if veterans aren’t local to Tennessee, Brandon promises to connect them with resources nationwide. To support their mission, listeners can donate—just $60 a month can fully fund a veteran’s treatment and potentially save a life. Learn more at thedavisfocusproject.com .…

When Dementia Patients Stop Eating: A Caregiver’s Guide to Support and Comfort Caring for a loved one with dementia is an emotional journey, and one of the most difficult challenges is when they stop eating or drinking. This heartbreaking transition often signals the later stages of the disease, leaving caregivers feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do.
