n this episode of the Living Well, Mark and Joy have invited Renee Joyner (RN) and Diane Sancilio from Gilchrist Hospice to our podcast studio. Gilchrist is a non-profit, hospice care provider in MD. Arthur Grau, a TVIH member and a volunteer at Gilchrist for 8 years, will also join us.
We will have a conversation on "hospice care", a topic that is important but most people do not want to talk about. However, one day we or our loved ones may need and benefit from the services offered by a hospice facility.
In today's podcast, we will discuss all aspects of hospice care: the planning, in-home hospice nurse visits, inpatient services at Gilchrist, payment for services, and the emotional toll on family members.
A Summary from Diane Sancilio (Director of Counseling and Support at Gilchrist)
Join us for an honest conversation about hospice and the myths that often prevent families from seeking support when they need it most. We will discuss Gilchrist's long history of caring for Maryland families, what hospice truly means, and how it helps people focus on quality of life, comfort, and connection. Along the way, we will answer common questions, share experiences from our work, and offer practical guidance for anyone caring for a loved one facing a serious illness. Our hope is that viewers/listeners will leave feeling informed, reassured, and empowered to have these important conversations before a crisis occurs.

EP 26, Fraud Prevention: Advice From A Retired Police Officer
Seniors are primary targets of widespread fraud and scams because they have retirement savings, are generous and more trusting. After seniors discover that they have lost money to scammers, they are less likely to report the scams due to shame.
We often receive telephone calls, emails, text messages, and fake impersonations from strangers or fake businesses, asking for emergency money, offering loans, or asking personal information to receive a big prize.
In this educational podcast, our guest Andre Lingham, a 33 year veteran of the Howard County Sheriff's and Police Departments, will teach us how to spot the different kinds of frauds and scams, how to protect ourselves, and how to report fraud to authorities. We will also learn how scammers use artificial intelligence to trick us to give them money.
