    Linda mentioned this from Gemini: “Yes, Gen Z is highly susceptible to online scams, with studies showing they are up to three times more likely to fall victim to fraud than Baby Boomers. Despite being digital natives, their high-frequency social media use and reliance on instant payment apps make them prime targets for phishing, shopping scams, and fake job offers.”

  • AI Healthcare Training, Ending Well 4-21-26
    2026/05/04

    In our News for the Ages by Rethinking Aging Club episode recorded on April 21, 2026, Benjamin Surmi highlighted focus in the UK on training caregivers in dementia care, emphasizing the need for effective training evaluation. Benjamin also covered AI's role in automating documentation, staffing analysis, and onboarding in senior living. Ellen Khalifa shared insights from her solution-focused coaching training using AI.

    The conversation also covered the importance of end-of-life care, including recognizing signs of impending death and ensuring family members are informed and prepared. We mentioned that The Pitt had a very relevant episode on respecting the wishes of our loved ones avoiding over-intervention, particularly intubation when it would cause more distress than help. We recommended to follow Dr. Kaishauna Guidry for more resources on hospice care.

    Finally Linda Sherman did one of her Film Corners, introducing her 2026 recommended streaming shows which includes “actors of a certain age and topics relevant to aging” called “Aging Gracefully” as a category.

    Presented by Benjamin Surmi, Senior Living Expert and Social Gerontologist
