Artful Aging with Amy Friesen

How to Assist an Aging Parent

The conversation of how to help aging parents can be difficult, as many adult children don't want to come off as parenting their parents, but many have to have tough conversations and make hard decisions with and for their loved ones. I am speaking with author and physical therapist, Teresa Moerer. In Teresa's book, The Art of Assisting Aging Parents, Teresa looks to build strategies and framework around caring for aging parents. As a caregiver herself, Teresa has seen first hand the trial and tribulations of helping her parents age artfully while remaining present in her own life. https://teresamoerer.com [https://teresamoerer.com] Guest and Podcast links here 👉 https://www.amyfriesen.com/artful-aging-with-amy [https://www.amyfriesen.com/artful-aging-with-amy] Join us on Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/artfulagingwithamy [https://www.facebook.com/artfulagingwithamy] Blog 👉https://www.amyfriesen.com/blog [https://www.amyfriesen.com/blog] Coaching 👉https://www.amyfriesen.com/coaching [https://www.amyfriesen.com/coaching] Join me on Instagram 👉https://www.instagram.com/artfulagingwithamy [https://www.instagram.com/artfulagingwithamy]

How to protect a senior from being scammed online

How to protect a senior from being scammed online is a new concern, surprisingly. As Covid kept everyone indoors, more and more people took to accomplishing their daily tasks and meeting online. Of particular interest, a large segment of seniors dove into learning zoom, face chat and many other apps in order to remain engaged while at home alone. Manual Loloyan is my guest this episode and we are shining a light on technology and scams that target seniors. #cybersecurity #scam #seniorscams Guest and podcast links here 👉 https://www.amyfriesen.com/artful-aging-with-amy [https://www.amyfriesen.com/artful-aging-with-amy] Previous episode mentioned in the show Artful Aging with Amy Show 15 Documenting a Lifetime Shady Pines Learning https://www.facebook.com/Shady-Pines-Learning-100679119200702/ [https://www.facebook.com/Shady-Pines-Learning-100679119200702/]
