Episode 41: Transforming Caregiving Across Generations
How can we navigate the challenges of caregiving with grace and innovation? Join Great Decisions, Incredible Lives; Retire With Intention host John Creekmur and guest Dr. Merle Griff, discuss Dr Griff's groundbreaking approaches to family caregiving, intergenerational connection, and fostering independence for seniors.
Dr. Merle Griff, psychologist, CEO of SarahCare, and author of Solace in the Storm, explores caregiving across generations. From her personal experiences to her professional insights, Dr. Griff emphasizes empathy, intergenerational connection, and practical solutions that empower caregivers and those they care for. She also highlights the importance of respite, customized care, and her unique "SarahCare Way."
Key Takeaways:
Empathy in Caregiving: Understanding the grieving process is vital for emotional resilience even when loved ones are still present.
The "SarahCare Way": A person-centered approach that adapts services to the individual's needs rather than asking them to fit into a system.
The Importance of Respite: Caregivers need breaks to refuel and maintain their well-being.
Intergenerational Play Therapy: Strengthening family bonds through shared activities and meaningful connections.
Staying Independent: Strategies like fall prevention, cognitive stimulation, and adaptive technologies help seniors stay home longer.
Caregiver Isolation: Finding ways to stay connected with friends and maintain personal interests is essential.
