2024’s Encore Episodes: This week, we highlight an episode that captured the hearts and minds of our listeners, making it the second most listened-to podcast of the year. Discover the story of a family caregiver and inventor, who created a lift device to aid those with mobility challenges. This episode is more than just a tale of creativity; it’s a powerful narrative about love, responsibility, and the impact of one person’s determination to make a difference in the lives of many. Join us as we celebrate this remarkable journey of innovation and caregiving. Steve Powell’s story is a beautiful example of how love and necessity can spark innovation. Rayna Neises had the honor of discussing Steve’s mission to create a world where the elderly and disabled can rise with dignity. His invention was born from witnessing his own parents’ struggles, a challenge he met with a blend of compassion and creativity. Steve Powell recounts the painful reality of his parents’ frequent falls and inability to get up on their own due to health issues and its impact. Driven by a divine nudge and his parents’ plight, Steve, a creative technology expert, invented a life-changing device. This invention not only helped his mother regain her independence, preventing falls for nine months, but also marked a turning point for many others facing similar challenges. IndeeLift transformed from a personal mission to a global endeavor, improving lives and allowing people to age in place with dignity. Our discussion wasn’t just about the mechanics of caregiving; it was about the soul behind it. We discussed how faith intertwines with compassion, how innovation can uphold the dignity of those we care for, and how emotional and practical support can transform the caregiving landscape. Steve’s journey and the solutions offered by IndeeLift.com stand as a beacon of hope, showing us that through ingenuity and empathy, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those we love.

?? Rethinking Care for Older Adults ?? In our latest episode of the Chasing Care Podcast, we’re diving deep into a crucial topic: the growing preference for home care over residential care for older adults. ?? Did you know that only 25% of people over 45 feel comfortable with the idea of moving into a care home? This is the lowest percentage we've seen since tracking began in 2014. Even more striking, only 29% of those over 75 are okay with it—a significant drop from 44% just eight years ago. These numbers highlight a significant shift in mindset around care options. Many individuals now prefer the comfort and familiarity of receiving care in their own homes. Join us as we explore these insights, challenge common perceptions, and discuss the benefits of home care. If you or a loved one are facing decisions about care options, this episode is packed with valuable guidance. ?? https://lnkd.in/eEPmmdZJ Let’s empower ourselves and our communities to make informed choices about later-life care! #ChasingCare #HomeCare #ElderCare #Aging #Healthcare #Podcast

Are your clients aging alone? If yes, ask them the following questions: Are you prepared to be your friends’ caregiver? What if your friends have no money and suddenly look to you for care? How do you say “no” to taking care of friends? Far too often, the plan for solo agers is to ask, “who will take care of me?” without considering the other half of the question, “who will land on my doorstep looking for care?” In this episode Ailene and I discuss the often-overlooked reality that solo agers might also find themselves providing care to friends and others they are not related to and how to plan for caregiving as a solo ager. ? This insightful discussion offers valuable guidance for solo agers at any stage of life, whether they are just beginning to think about their future needs or are actively navigating the challenges of aging alone.
