episode Re-Release: Navigating Senior Living Transitions with Jane Fisher of Oasis Senior Advisors cover

Description

In this re‑release episode, host Dave MacNiven sits down with Certified Senior Advisor Jane Fisher, owner of Oasis Senior Advisors of South Central and Southeastern Connecticut. Jane shares her journey from a long career in library leadership to launching her “third‑act” calling: helping older adults and their families navigate the overwhelming world of senior living options. Jane explains how Oasis Senior Advisors provides a personalized, concierge‑style approach to finding the right assisted living, memory care, or independent living community. She breaks down what families should consider, how budgets and care needs shape the search, and why planning ahead can dramatically improve quality of life. Jane also talks about the emotional side of these transitions, the importance of listening, and how her background in librarianship uniquely prepared her for this work. Whether you’re supporting an aging parent, planning for your own future, or simply want to understand how senior living decisions get made, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and practical guidance from someone who truly loves helping families find the right place.

Re-Release: Guided Exercise After 50 with George Norden of Joint Effort

This week, Sounds of Health brings you a re‑released conversation with exercise physiologist and Joint Effort Guided Exercise [https://jointeffortexercise.com/] founder George Norden — originally streamed live on Facebook and still one of our most impactful episodes for listeners over 50. George shares how adults in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond can safely regain strength, stamina, balance, and energy — and why the right environment and accountability structure make all the difference. He also tells the story behind Joint Effort’s unique “guided exercise after 50” model and how he grew from one small space with used equipment to four thriving Connecticut locations in Guilford, Branford, Old Saybrook, and Niantic. “The harder I work; the luckier I get,” George says as he reflects on seeing a need, filling a gap, and helping older adults feel better, move better, and stay independent.
