    Caregiving a Parent Who Abused You, Longevity and Immunity 6-30-26
    2026/07/15
    The News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging club episode recorded June 30, 2026 tackled a heavy topic first. Debbie Howard presented an article by Katie Engelhart, which highlighted the challenges faced by caregivers who were abused by the parents they cared for, particularly those with dementia. The article revealed that at least 20% of U.S. caregivers have been physically, mentally, or sexually abused by their parents. Debbie emphasized the complexities of dementia, including the difficulty of distinguishing between past abuse and new behaviors. Our discussion also touched on the financial and emotional burdens of caregiving, the importance of planning, and the potential benefits of mental health services and trusts for caregivers. Ellen Khalifa presented an article on longevity and immunity, focusing on the Buck Institute's research on extending health spans and the importance of a healthy immune system and nutrition. The article features their CEO Eric Verdin.Commentary from Linda Sherman, Ray Gordon and Elizabeth Magallon Fleury.Presented by Debbie Howard, Caregiver Advocate, Aging Matters International NY Times Magazine 6-17-26 The Pain of Caring for a Parent Who Abused You by Katie Engelharthttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/magazine/elder-care-parent-abuse.htmlKatie Engelhart interviewed two dozen caregivers who described being harmed by the parents they were caring for.The United States is reliant on unpaid family caregivers, and millions of adult children are caring for parents who didn’t really care for them.RelatedNY Times 6-27-26 My Awful Mother Is Getting Alzheimer’s. What Do I Owe Her? reply by “the ethicist” philosopher Kwame Anthony AppiahResources:Debbie Howard’s recent LinkedIn article on this topicFamilies need to plan for caregiving before their caregiving recipient has dementia. Because Debbie's article had a lot to do with caring for people with dementia we also talked about documents that need to be prepared:A good estate/elder-law plan for dementia often includes four layers:- Durable Financial Power of Attorney*Gives someone authority to pay bills, access accounts, hire caregivers, pay for home modifications, pay care managers, and arrange long-term care.- Advance Health Care Directive / Health Care Power of AttorneyNames the person who can make medical decisions when you cannot. The National Institute on Aging describes this as naming a health care proxy to make decisions if you cannot communicate.- Living Will / Dementia-specific care instructionsThis expresses what kind of care you want or do not want, especially around quality of life, feeding, hospitalization, comfort care, and end-of-life wishes. Alzheimer’s Association describes advance directives as documents that record treatment and care preferences, including end-of-life wishes.- Revocable Living Trust, if appropriateThis can let a successor trustee manage assets for your benefit if you become incapacitated. It is especially useful when there are homes, investments, or complex assets.Alzheimer's Association planning adviceBarak Gaster's dementia directive from 2018Powers of Attorney AARP 2021*Durable Financial Power of AttorneyThis lets you name a trusted person - often an adult child - to manage your money and pay for your care if you become mentally incapacitated. “Durable” means it continues to work after incapacity, including severe cognitive decline or dementia. AARP specifically notes that durable POA can help families avoid court intervention when someone has severe cognitive decline such as late-stage dementia.The document should be drafted to say clearly that your agent may use your funds for your care, comfort, housing, safety, transportation, in-home help, care management, assisted living, memory care, and other support. It can also say whether family members may be paid for caregiving - but that part should be done carefully.Kaishauna Guidry, MD, hospice expert and author in our audience commented: ‘There’s often issues obtaining 2 capacity letters to invoke the POA. I deal with this all of the time. A family recently had a bad day in court because an NP filled out the paperwork. Lay people need to understand that these legalities require a physician. The healthcare systemThe healthcare system has trained the public to use the term "provider," which is confusing to patients and familiesThere are also dueling siblings that can complicate these matters. One disgruntled sibling questions capacity just because of ongoing family dynamics.As you age, please learn about these things to protect the estate for care.’Presented by Ellen Khalifa, Habits Coach for Healthspan and Wellspan SF Chronicle 2-22-26 Longevity and Immunity by Erin Allday featuring Eric Verdin, CEO of the Buck Institute for the Research on Aginghttps://www.sfchronicle.com/health/aging-longevity/article/age-old-immune-system-21367407.phpApple accessReferred to with Ellen’s articleEric Verdin quote that we liked: “we're...

    This News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging Club episode was recorded in June, which is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month. We were glad to be able to include this important article from the Guardian about people living with dementia in early stages rallying to get better media representations and treatment. They have formed or become active in organizations like the Young Dementia Network, Dementia Alliance International, Deep (the Dementia Engagement and Empowerment Project). All of them are “experts by experience," and many are actively involved in research projects such as Living Well With Dementia. Benjamin Surmi, who has extensive experience in the memory care world reported for our discussion.Ellen Khalifa, a peer educator for GLP-1s, presented two studies showing that semaglutide slowed biological aging in HIV patients by 9%. The original study was done in the UK and published in The Lancet, then UC San Diego ran the data through epigenetic clocks.Elizabeth Magallon Fleury's report focused on one of the challenges of aging in place, the fact that older homeowners often stay put due to financial and housing availability constraints. Ray Gordon, who is an architect and urban planner, commented on the need for innovative housing solutions, including modular and panelized construction, to address the housing shortage. They also discussed the potential of 3D printing for affordable housing.Presented by Benjamin Surmi, Social Gerontologist and Senior Living Expert, VP Arvo.care, Advisor to Koelsch Communities The Guardian 6-9-26 People Living with Dementia Are Fighting Against Damaging Stereotypes and Demanding Proper Medical Support by Anne Karpfhttps://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/09/dementia-rebels-diagnosed-determined-change-peoples-mindsLinda Sherman referred to the 2014 film Still Alice where Julianne Moore plays Alice Howland, a linguistics professor diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
