We are an aging society. Some of us worry about what will happen when we can no longer take care of ourselves without help. We may not like to think about it but we should. Long-term care (LTC) can be challenging to access, difficult to navigate and expensive. And yet, who among us wants to spend the last months or years of their lives without options on how we will live and be cared for? Diana Mason, RN, talks with two experts on the topic. Liz Seegert is an independent journalist who is also the topic editor on aging for the Association for Health Care Journalists and a HealthCetera Correspondent on aging. She recently wrote a column for the Association that provides basic information on LTC options. Thanks for returning to HCC. Dr. Melissa Batchelor Murphy, RN, is Professor and Director of the Center for Aging at the George Washington University School of Nursing. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on August 7, 2024.

Talking about death and our choices in dying is crucial to those of us who want to die a “good death” but it’s equally important that our loved ones know of our end of life and post-life wishes. Dr. Diana Mason, RN, talked with Mary Ellen Markant, RN, an end-of-life educator, about preparing for death. Markant writes and talks to groups about how to begin to feel comfortable with and accept death as a natural part of living. They also talk about “green” burials and other choices related to our after-death preferences. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX radio on July 17, 2024.

Samadhi is a nonprofit organization based in Kingston, NY, that takes a mindfulness approach to preventing, treating and supporting people in recovery from SUD and addiction. But the need for these services extends beyond the city’s borders. With funding from OASAS, the NYS Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services, Samadhi purchased a mobile van to take its services to northern Ulster County and Delaware County. Diana Mason, PhD, RN, talked with Jason Tompkins, a CRPA (certified recovery peer advocate) with Samadhi and Simon Abramson, LMSW, a psychotherapist and the Director of Mobile Outpatient at Samadhi. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX Radio on July 3, 2024.
