  EPISODE 58 – Adult Foster Homes: The Hidden Gem of Senior Care

  Sep 14, 202622 minS1

  Assisted living isn't the only option — and for many seniors, it isn't even the best one. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Paula Johnson, who ran a beloved adult foster home in Southern Oregon for ten years, to talk about what makes these small, residential care homes so different from larger facilities. Paula shares what it's really like to care for up to five residents at a time, why higher-acuity needs like tube feeding, Hoyer lifts, and hospice care are often better handled in a home setting than in assisted living, and how something as simple as a weekly poker game can change someone's life. It's a candid look at an option many families don't even know exists. Why adult foster homes can accept residents with complex medical needs that assisted living communities often turn away How all-inclusive pricing in foster homes compares to the hidden add-on costs common in larger facilities Why smaller, home-like settings allow for truly individualized care, right down to special diets and personal routines The story behind "Holiday House" and why celebrating the little things mattered so much to Paula's residents Why Southern Oregon needs more adult foster homes, and how to get involved if you're considering opening one Whether you're exploring care options for a loved one or curious about what a career in this space could look like, this conversation offers a rare inside look at one of the most personal forms of senior care available today.

Veronica shares how it started, why it works, and what makes it so different from every other networking event out there.

  EPISODE 55: Fraud, Scams, and How to Protect Yourself - What Every Senior Needs to Know

  Aug 3, 202618 minS1

  Every week, seniors across Southern Oregon are being targeted by scammers pretending to be the IRS, their bank, Amazon, Social Security, and even people they know. In this solo episode, Jamie Callahan shares real stories from people she has personally helped — including a call she took just the day before recording — and breaks down exactly what to watch for and what to do when something feels off. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why the IRS will never call, text, or email you — and what to do if someone claims they are Why you should never share a verification code sent to your phone with anyone, ever How scammers use urgency and pressure to get you to act before you think Why gift cards, wire transfers, cryptocurrency, and prepaid debit cards are guaranteed signs of fraud How scammers spoof phone numbers and email addresses to look like people you trust Why even smart, savvy people fall for these scams — and why that matters If you have a senior in your life, share this episode with them. And if you ever find yourself in a situation where something doesn't feel right, call Team Senior. We will get on the phone with you and help you figure out what's really going on.

  EPISODE 54: Tai Chi for Seniors - Balance, Strength, and Healing Through Movement

  Jul 20, 202615 minS1

  In this episode, Jamie sits down with Bob Sheehan, a martial artist with 50 years of experience and a tai chi instructor who has been teaching in the Grants Pass community for over 15 years. Bob brings a grounded, no-pressure approach to tai chi that makes it accessible to anyone — regardless of age, fitness level, or health history. And if you think tai chi is just slow movement, this conversation will change your mind. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: Why slowing down your movement is actually what builds real balance and strength How tai chi targets the quadriceps and stabilizes the joints to reduce fall risk Why "becoming tai chi" — not just learning it — is the real goal How tai chi has helped students with back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and vertigo Why the 70% rule keeps students safe and progressing without injury How Bob personally used tai chi to recover faster from a quadruple bypass and a stage four cancer diagnosis Whether you're brand new to movement or looking for something sustainable and healing, Bob's classes are free, welcoming, and open to all levels.
