A Radio Talk with Aging Info Radio

Earlier this month I had a chance to talk about some of the questions I most often get asked as a geriatric care manager. In Chicago, there is a radio talk show on Chicago senior care and other topics that are relevant to elders. It is called – appropriately – AgingInfoRadio, and the program airs every Thursday. You can actually listen to our give and take by going to the archives of this program at AgingInfoRadio
Some of the questions we discussed in that 25-minute conversation included:
- What should I look for in a geriatric care manager?
- Is there a central directory to help find a geriatric care manager?
- How would you sum up what a geriatric care manager does that people cannot already do for themselves?
- When is home no longer the best place for an aging family member/loved one?
- What elder resources are available to help an older adult in their home?
- What can be done to make home “secure” for an older adult?
- What services can be brought home to maximize independence?
- How do I guard against an accident at my parent’s home?
- What are the best alternatives to home?
- What is the difference between independent living and a nursing home?
- What is a Continuum of Care Facility?
- What questions should a family member ask to get the right facility for a loved one?
If you would like to hear the answers I shared on the air, please check out the conversation I had with the host Sue Zawacki at Radio Talk with Charlotte Bishop

Re: A Radio Talk with Aging Info Radio
Charlotte Bishop was my expert guest on Aging Info Radio...for caregivers, seniors and those concerned about their aging journey in October 2010. Charlotte is an EXPERT with so much knowledge about Care Management and taught my listeners so much.
If for any reason you are experiencing stress caring for an aging loved one or you can see it coming contact Charlotte Bishop at Creative Case Management. She will offer you options and education to help you navigate your journey with little or no stress.
Most importantly, you do not want to become frustrated which leads to resentment caring for your mother, father or an aging loved one. You want to remain being their loving son, daughter, relative or friend. Charlotte will guide you so this remains so.
Charlotte has my highest recommendation as she is an expert in her field along with being the Founder and President of Creative Case Management! Sue Zawacki, Show Host
