Today’s episode features a great documentary film maker Sky Bergman. Sky's recent work Lives Well Lived focussed on a cohort of 40 inspiring individuals over the age of 75 and how they’re challenging the assumptions and stereotypes of later life.We had a lovely chat with Sky about her film, and there’s some really warm moments in here about how sensitive and inquisitive conversations with our loved ones allow us all to reflect and learn from their experiences. As you heard at the start of this episode, this will be our last regular release for Season 3. There is one more Who Cares episode for the season, with Daniella Greenwood and Maurie Voisey Barlin, that you can catch this Friday.In the meantime we hope you enjoy this wonderful conversation with Sky Bergman, and we’ll see you soon.The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️ 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 ⬇️🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ace-aged-care-enrichment/id1528261777🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4wk2d6NjlbHg8Eid35TNB2❤️ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-ace-aged-care-enrichment-77188643/💙 Listen Online: https://silvradventures.com.au/podcast/ SilVR Adventures - Meaningful virtual reality experiences and activities for older adults to improve mental well-being.

Today we're focussing on the importance of social connection and presenting two perspectives on how it can affect the health and well being of older adults.Our first conversation features Dr. Snorri Bjorn Rafnsson from the University of West London, who's research examines some of the determinants of dementia and how we might delay and stop it's onset. In this episode Snorri helps us take a closer look at the relationships between loneliness, internet usage and dementia play out and some potential new areas for exploration.In the second half of this episode we speak to Jamie McIntyre from the Australian Red Cross who co-ordinates around 50 volunteers up in Tweed Heads as they provide support to socially isolated older adults. Jamie and the team do great work in partnership with SilVR Adventures, together we've been bringing immersive virtual reality experiences to care facilities and Jamie shares a little bit with us about that experience and how the SilVR Adventures' solution is enriching the lives of older adults through social connection.The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️ 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 ⬇️🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ace-aged-care-enrichment/id1528261777🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4wk2d6NjlbHg8Eid35TNB2❤️ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-ace-aged-care-enrichment-77188643/💙 Listen Online: https://silvradventures.com.au/podcast/SilVR Adventures - Meaningful virtual reality experiences and activities for older adults to improve mental well-being.

For today's episode we're dedicating it to understanding more about financial elder abuse and how to prevent it.We're joined by Luke Wright from the Victorian State Trustees to understand a bit more about the prevalence, causes and many face of financial elder abuse and some warning signs to look out for.As Luke says in the interview, financial abuse is almost the canary in the coal mine of elder abuse - as its presence is a pretty good indicator of other types of abuse.Whatever you're doing in your work this week, we encourage you to have a think about elders around you that might be vulnerable to abuse and what you can do to prevent it - you can visit elderabuseawarenessday.org.au for more information.You can hear Daniella and Maurie’s take and thoughts about these ideas in their show Who Cares? which is released on Friday.The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️ 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 ⬇️🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ace-aged-care-enrichment/id1528261777🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4wk2d6NjlbHg8Eid35TNB2❤️ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-ace-aged-care-enrichment-77188643/💙 Listen Online: https://silvradventures.com.au/podcast/SilVR Adventures - Meaningful virtual reality experiences and activities for older adults to improve mental well-being.

In today's episode we’re exploring a radically different approach to dementia care which can help people remain in their own homes for longer.Judy Cornish is the creator of the DAWN method - and she joins us for a fun and fascinating conversation about how she came into dementia care with no prior experience and developed a way to embrace the strengths and avoid weaknesses of people living with dementia. Judy’s model leverages the highly developed intuitive skills of people living with dementia and encourage carers and families to communicate in ways that don’t depend on the often-diminishing rational skills, which she explains in quite a bit more detail throughout the episode.If you want to learn more about Judy’s wonderful work after this interview which I think you will, she has two books available online The Dementia Handbook and Dementia with Dignity that you can check out.As always you can hear Daniella and Maurie’s take and thoughts about these ideas in their show Who Cares? which is released every Friday.The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️ 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 ⬇️🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ace-aged-care-enrichment/id1528261777🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4wk2d6NjlbHg8Eid35TNB2❤️ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-ace-aged-care-enrichment-77188643/💙 Listen Online: https://silvradventures.com.au/podcast/SilVR Adventures - Meaningful virtual reality experiences and activities for older adults to improve mental well-being.

Today’s episode is all about falls. Falls are one of the most prevalent and challenging risks that older adults face and addressing them, needs consideration of a wide array of risk factors. From physical and mental health, to environment, and as we learn in this interview – even what you’re thinking about.Our guest is Professor Kim Delbaere from UNSW and Neuroscience Research Australia or NEURA. Her work focuses on understanding the factors that can lead to falls among older adults and finding out, what she calls "acceptable interventions”.Kim is also the President of the Australian and New Zealand Falls Prevention Society and has been instrumental in the creation of new tools for falls prevention such as the app Standing Tall (which you can learn more about at www.standingtall.org.au).As always you can hear Daniella and Maurie’s take and thoughts about these ideas in their show Who Cares? which is released every Friday.The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️ 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 ⬇️🍏 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ace-aged-care-enrichment/id1528261777🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4wk2d6NjlbHg8Eid35TNB2❤️ iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-ace-aged-care-enrichment-77188643/💙 Listen Online: https://silvradventures.com.au/podcast/SilVR Adventures - Meaningful virtual reality experiences and activities for older adults to improve mental well-being.
