Our July episode has host and gerontologist, Sherri Snelling, talking with Saudia Gajadhar, Chief Happiness Officer at Comfort Keepers about this year’s National Day of Joy survey among older adults and family caregivers and Comfort Keepers’ role in the new PBS documentary, “Caregiving.”
In CAREGIVER WELLNESS NEWS, Sherri shares the latest stats to highlight July’s National Sandwich Generation Month as well as global wellness hacks for International Self-Care Day (July 24). She also talks about a new habit-stacking wellness trend for older women who care caregiving: how “rucking” is the new “walking.” And a new study shows the significant stress burden on caregivers of those with dementia or Alzheimer’s who wander. As an intro to the interview with Saudia, Sherri shares the difference between happiness vs. joy from her book, ME TIME MONDAY.
In our WELL HOME DESIGN NEWS, Sherri focuses on the financial wellness challenges for the Sandwich Generation including a recent Edward Jones survey showing Sandwich Generation caregivers need more education from financial advisor about long-term care costs; and the actual monetary responsibility many Gen X, Millennials and older Gen Z are taking on caring for children and older parents at the same time. Sherri also shares the topics from the July “Self-Care in 7 Minutes” videos found on the Caregiving Club YouTube channel: Caregiver Bill of Rights, How Alice in Wonderland Helps Caregivers Build Resiliency, 10 Global Wellness Hacks for International Self-Care Day, How the Sandwich Generation Can Build Social Wellness.
