  • When Therapy and Caregiving Collide

    The demands of caregiving cause emotional and physical stress on the millions of caregivers across the country. It's common to feel angry, frustrated, worn out, or sad. And it's common to feel alone. Caregiver stress can put caregivers at risk of changes in their health leading to 1 in 17 dementia caregivers dying by suicide.  

    In this episode of Caregiver Crossing, talk with Delphia Bowser, therapist, and caregiver for her aging mother. Delphia shares with us her caregiving journey and how she has found some peace for her mental health through therapy and her faith.

  • The Restoracy: Fostering community in long-term care

    Did you know that 77% of adults over the age of 50 prefer to age in place, meaning that they would like to remain in their own homes as they age? When the expected happens and it becomes unsafe for them to remain in their own home- a long-term care community that looks and feels like home may just be the answer. 

    We sit down with Bryan Lindsey of The Restoracy of Whitestown, to discuss this newer option of care.
