Breaking Before Broken
In our series on self care we've talked about a lot of energy protection and other methods to avoid burnout.

Sometimes, in this and almost every industry, there's the overwhelming instinct to give it all we have, but as we're finding out - that is a recipe for disaster. Enjoy this very short, but heartfelt message, and we'll talk to you next week! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.Love, Kelly & Nico...

What Does REAL Self Care During The Crazy Busy Holiday Season Actually Look Like?
Massages, facials & spa days are great, of course, but does that really prevent or help with burnout? We talk about real life every day methods that we're trying to learn, impliment or find out about to help us manage what is our (and almost every industry's) busiest and most hectic time of year.

Longevity Or Quality Of Life? And At What Cost?
Decisions, decisions. Is it really that simple of a question to answer? Of course not and that's why we're discussing it on our unscripted show this week. We talk about the cost of the very end of life care, the individual decisions of the person in their final stages, and the unpredictability of absolutely every single thing that is medical related in life. It's a very intense and intimidating topic to talk about - but as usual, these are the topics that cause chaos when discussed too late.S...

These topics aren't going to discuss themselves, and they will become a huge problem if they're not discussed before it's too late. Our wonderful guest is Pooja Patel, an occupational therapist and podcast host of "Aging Together". She brings several points to the surface such as, adult children waiting until it's too late to start thinking about assisted living, the generation that didn't really plan for life expectancy beyond the age of 65 yet generally living way longer, how power of attor...

Care Navigation: How Can Our Industry Provide Better Guidance In Understanding Patient Options?
In an inpatient setting there may be a social worker type figure available to help.

In this episode we share examples, and ideas and even ask you for any of your stories, resources, ideas or successful attempts at care navigation in your industry or with...

Using All Allocated Veteran Care Hours Is Apparently Now Too Much???
A recent HCOA newsletter email arrived, stating that the US Department of Veterans Affairs was exceeding it's budget, and that the VA would be monitoring billing and claims by agencies to ensure compliance with new changes that are being implemented. The average number of hours allocated to veteran care by the VA is six to sixteen (6-16) hours a week, and because they're all being used, it's apparently too much? We're just going to open this episode standing on the soapbox, instead of casuall...
