LLN Episode #296: Corrinne Auman, PhD - Overcoming Ageism in Today's Society

About Corrine Auman, PhD: 

Corinne Auman is the founder of Choice Care Navigators, a company dedicated to helping families navigate the aging process. She is dedicated to fostering personal growth, resilience, and authentic living at every age. Corinne's passion lies in reshaping how we perceive older adulthood, a vision she beautifully encapsulates in her groundbreaking book, "Keenagers." Corinne is on a mission to change the conversation around aging. In a culture where many avoid thinking about older adulthood until the last minute, she urges us to embrace aging in a positive light. Her story is not just about her successes; it's a call for all of us to care about aging, dispelling myths and embracing the beauty and potential of every stage of life.

 

What We Discuss In This Episode:

Corrine discussed the complexities of aging and the societal perceptions surrounding it. She emphasized the importance of a positive outlook on aging, arguing that it can empower families to plan effectively for their older loved ones, contrasting this with the panic often induced by negative cultural messages.

We also addressed the challenges faced by caregivers, many of whom are older adults themselves. Corinne discussed the importance of self-care for caregivers and the need for expert guidance in navigating senior health care complexities. She provided insights on when families should consider transitioning elderly parents to senior living communities, advising preliminary research to ease the decision-making process during health crises.

Corinne addressed the modern perspective on retirement, noting that individuals in their 40s, 50s, and 60s are rethinking what it means to retire. Corinne pointed out that there are no longer mandatory retirement ages, allowing people to continue working while collecting social security. Many choose to transition from their first careers to new ventures, such as consulting or starting businesses.

We discussed the appropriate time for families to seek senior living communities for elderly parents. Corinne Auman detailed the spectrum of senior living options, from independent living to skilled nursing, highlighting the differences in care and support provided. She stressed the importance of researching these options in advance to alleviate stress during potential health crises.

Corinne highlighted the unique stressors faced by adult caregivers and recommended seeking specialized therapy services. She detailed the differences between home care, which involves assistance with daily tasks, and home health, which includes medical therapies ordered by a doctor. Auman also noted that costs for these services can vary significantly by location and often require private payment.
