September 08, 2021 Elder Law Attorney Maggie Kimmel
Elder law is an area of legal practice that specializes on issues that affect the aging population. The purpose of elder law planning is to prepare the elderly person for financial freedom and autonomy through proper financial planning and long-term care options.
With me on this episode is my new friend Maggie Kimmel. an attorney with AlerStallings.
As she states...
AlerStallings offers continued support through all seasons of life to make sureour clients’ estate plans are up to date and reflect their current wishes. Mygrandparents came to this firm eight years ago to craft their own estate plan.Hearing them talk about that continued support and feeling cared for madeall the difference for me. I knew this was the way I wanted to practice law.
She loves meeting with clients, hearing their stories, and then helping them craft an estate plan that will work for them and their families exactly the way they want it to.

August 11, 2021 The Creative Care Imagination Kit with Dr. Anne Basting
My guest is Anne Basting, PhD, who is a leader in transforming aging and eldercare. I have her on this podcast to talk about her Creative Care Imagination Kit.
Based on Dr. Basting’s twenty-five years of research, this “imagination kit” makes it easy for families, friends, and caregivers to make meaningful connections with elders and others dealing with physical, cognitive, or emotional challenges, including memory loss.
The Creative Care Imagination Kit sparks conversation and encourages active listening, allowing all ages to freely share ideas and stories without worrying about getting the details “correct.”
Dr. Basting’s years of research have shown that these practices stimulate the brain and awaken the imagination, adding wonder and awe not only to the daily lives of those with dementia but to all family members, and providing them with a means of connection and communication.
You can find out more about the kit here - https://www.harpercollins.com/products/creative-care-imagination-kit-anne-basting

June 23, 2021 Author Eleanor Lerman - Watkins Glen
My guest is author Eleanor Lerman, and her new book is Watkins Glen. It's the story of Susan, a woman in her sixties, who finds herself taking care of her estranged older brother, Mark, who has Alzheimer's.
They are the children of a father who worked in his brothers' upholstery factory for most of the year but in the summers, escaped with his family to Watkins Glen, where he was the best outlaw drag racer in a town that primarily caters to high-end road racing.
After a life spent in New York City, Susan has moved back to Watkins Glen where she takes her brother to live―temporarily, she thinks.

June 09, 2021 Author Marilyn Peterson Haus - Half of a Whole
My guest is author Marilyn Peterson Haus.
Her book, Half of a Whole, explores the intimate bond between a twin brother and sister, the cruel consequences that occur when one of them becomes mentally ill, and the courage required to break away when love is not enough.
Just when Marilyn thought she had escaped life as the child of born-again farmers on the Minnesota plains, her twin brother’s manic violence catapults her back to the fissures of her childhood. Half of a Whole is the haunting chronicle of her twin’s encroaching mental illness, her mother’s blatant favoritism, and the stultifying strictures of her family’s religious zealotry. Sentence by sentence, she battles to break free from a painful past and live life on her own terms.

May 12, 2021 Taking Precautions After You Are Fully Vaccinated
We're going to talk about what seniors should do once they've been vaccinated. Dr. Ronan M. Factora is a geriatrician in Cleveland, Ohio and is affiliated with Cleveland Clinic. As he states, "now we're starting to see solutions to how we can get back to normal. And one of those interventions, one of the solutions does include vaccination. 00:03:08.760we should take advantage of this because we all want to get back to the type of life that we were living before the pandemic."Do you think we will do you think we'll get back to normal? "I know that there's going to be changes. And, you know, normal is a relative term. I guess the goal is to get closer to normal because it doesn't sound like we're going to get rid of coronavirus."Dr. Factora goes a bit deeper to help us understand the term "bubble" in relation to who we can come in contact with."Everyone has their bubble and then there's different different kind of terms for the bubble for sure. You have the bubble of the people who live underneath your own household. You know, where everyone's been at. But some people have expanded that bubble to include close friends and family that they know have been, you know, really limited in terms of where they go. So if you're very well aware of the whereabouts and the goings on of friends and family who they've been in contact with, where they've gone to, then you can have confidence that they're not going to be bringing in coronavirus from some other location outside of that bubble that we're talking about."Email me, Lisa Stockdale, anytime at [email protected] In Full Bloom is sponsored by Capital Health Care Network, an Ohio based, family owned and operated company, providing solutions that help seniors age on their own terms.

April 07, 2021 Dirty Old Man Syndrome
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 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 of reminding us about that.
