No family should have to navigate long-term care for their loved one on their own. A caregiver podcast can be a great, on-the-go resource for any caregiver.
Caregiving isn’t just about medical care. There are legal, financial, emotional, and physical topics that relate to the world of caregiving. Podcasts are a great format for exploring these factors, and understanding them can help families provide more well-rounded care.
At All Home Care Matters, we’re one of the best caregiver podcasts for long-term care providers across the U.S. Subscribe to our podcasts or YouTube channel today to learn caregiving tips from experts in the field.
Top 4 Guest Insights from the All Home Care Matters Caregiver Podcast
At All Home Care Matters, we believe caregivers should be equipped with the tools they need to provide expert care.
We created our caregiver support podcast to spotlight some of the brightest minds in the long-term care field. Our podcast brings together doctors, patient advocates, authors, and other industry leaders to share their insights every single week.
Listening to our podcast or watching our YouTube videos can equip you with the tips and resources you need to better understand aging-related topics.
If you’re new to our caregiver podcast, there are many episodes to explore. Some of our top insights over the years include:
1. Dementia & Alzheimer’s Advocacy
Our podcast Conscious Caregiving with L&L is a series that features Lori La Bey, the founder of Alzheimer’s Speaks and co-founder of the Dementia Map. This monthly show is co-hosted by Lori and Lance A. Slatton, the host of the All Home Care Matters YouTube show and podcast. Lori draws unique insights from her 30-year journey caring for her mother with dementia. Based on her experience, she helps families develop the knowledge they need to move away from crisis mode and towards providing comfort for their loved ones.
The main emphasis of this show is removing the stigma behind dementia and helping caregivers and seniors live “graciously alongside” the disease.
The show covers care advice and strategies that caregivers can apply to their everyday lives. For example, using simple, inexpensive fixes from the hardware store to prevent wandering out of the home. Or, tips for reducing the stress of repetitive questions.
2. Navigating the Technological Landscape
On all our podcasts, you’ll learn actionable advice from medical professionals that you can apply in your day-to-day life.
Many of our episodes focus on how technology can support aging in place, so that your loved ones don’t have to be moved to a care home. For example, how features on everyday devices like iPhones and Alexa devices can help seniors stay independent.
We also share personal stories about caregivers’ experiences, particularly the emotional weight of safety decisions.
Past episodes of our caregiver podcast have examined kitchen-related safety risks, and how smart technology can potentially reduce the burden on caregivers. Options like automatic stove shut-offs can reduce stress and protect seniors from harm.
3. Support Programs & Resources
One of the main goals of our podcast for family caregivers is uncovering hidden resources. These are tips, tools, and programs that are often overlooked during a crisis, or are unfamiliar to families who are new to caregiving.
We welcome patient advocates who raise awareness of veteran-specific programs, legal funds, and long-term care insurance. Our podcast tackles complex topics such as power of attorney, creating wills, and managing finances.
The experts we feature on our caregiver podcast break everything down into manageable steps. That way, you can get started with legal and financial planning sooner rather than later.
4. Emotional Support Systems
Our caregiving tips podcast also shares stories from authors on the subject of caregiving. Guests share their experiences and the techniques they used to create an emotional support system.
These guests include mental health professionals and other experts who discuss how to handle caregiver’s guilt and tips for respite care.
The goal of sharing these stories is to show the struggles caregivers go through and that you’re not alone.
