    Medicare 2027 Plan Changes: Coverage Gaps, Drug Coverage & Senior Medicare Tips (Episode 8, Part 2)

    Medicare decisions can affect your prescription costs, access to doctors and protection from unexpected expenses. In Part 2 of Senior PrimeTime’s Medicare 2027 conversation, host Bonnie Keith is joined by Medicare professionals Doris Ford of Ford Benefits Group and Elka Soussana of Simpler Horizons Insurance Solutions to discuss questions older adults and families may want to consider as they review their coverage.

    The conversation explores ways to compare prescription prices, including discount programs and the Medicare Prescription Payment Plan, and why it’s important to understand how any drug-cost option works with your current coverage. Doris and Elka also discuss questions about GLP-1 medications, retiree health plans and what to check before making a change.

    You’ll also hear about Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans, including how provider networks can affect access to doctors and what to ask if your doctor is no longer in network. The guests explain situations that may allow exceptions for out-of-network care and discuss the differences between Medicare Advantage and Medigap coverage.

    The episode also covers the GUIDE program and respite support for people living with dementia and their caregivers, the limits of Medicare coverage for custodial and long-term care, and why patient advocacy can matter. As the Annual Enrollment Period approaches, the guests discuss reviewing plan notices, checking whether coverage is changing, and learning about protections such as the Medicare Supplement Birthday Rule, guaranteed-issue rights and trial rights. These protections can vary by state and by individual circumstances.

    Finally, Bonnie, Doris and Elka look at expenses Medicare may not cover, including long-term care, dental, vision and hearing services, and why some people explore separate policies for needs such as critical illness, accidents or final expenses.

    Senior PrimeTime is presented by the Foundation for Senior Services, a 501(c)(3) public charity that provides older adults and families with education, options and resources to help them choose quality care and support and preserve independence. The Foundation is led by CEO Joyce Robertson.

  • Dementia Caregiver Support: Navigating an Alzheimer's Diagnosis, Caregiver Survival and Finding Hope (Part 2)

    Dementia Caregiver Support: Navigating an Alzheimer's Diagnosis, Caregiver Survival and Finding Hope (Part 2)
    2026/09/30

    Brain Health, Memory Changes, and Alzheimer’s Part Two: Navigating Diagnosis, Caregiver Survival and Finding Hope

    Welcome to Part 2 of our special series on Senior PrimeTime, where real people and real conversations come together. In this episode, host Bonnie Keith continues the discussion with featured specialists Sivana Lavine Waller from the Alzheimer's Association and Geriatric Care Manager Ronda Wilkin to explore actionable strategies, medical evaluations, caregiver support, and emerging hope in Alzheimer's and dementia care.

    Building on the foundation laid in Part 1, this episode tackles the difficult moments families face when cognitive changes become apparent. The experts address the complex challenge of denial and anosognosia, explaining how brain changes often prevent individuals from recognizing their own deficits. To help families navigate these sensitive situations without destructive arguments, the guests introduce compassionate communication techniques, including the Art of the Fib, therapeutic white lies, and the LEAP method of listening, emphasizing, agreeing, and partnering. Listeners learn why arguing with a progressive brain disease is a battle caregivers will always lose, and how shifting communication strategies preserves dignity while ensuring safety.

    The conversation examines what a comprehensive cognitive evaluation entails, from ruling out reversible medical causes to conducting physical workups, mood assessments, and MoCA testing. The specialists discuss groundbreaking advancements in diagnostic medicine, such as FDA-approved blood biomarker tests like p-Tau 217, which enable early detection and allow individuals to access disease-modifying treatments that slow disease progression. The episode emphasizes why early intervention is critical for buying precious time and quality of life.

    Finally, the episode closes with a powerful message of optimism. With expanding research pipelines, findings from the landmark US POINTER study, and an unprecedented array of community support resources, families are reminded that they do not have to navigate this journey alone.

  • Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia Part 1: Early Signs and How to Support Brain Health

    Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia Part 1: Early Signs and How to Support Brain Health
    2026/09/23

    Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia Part 1: Early Signs and How to Support Brain Health

    Part 1 of our two-part series on Alzheimer's and dementia: the difference between the two, normal memory changes vs. early warning signs, and practical ways to support brain health and cognitive decline prevention. Continue with Part 2: Dementia Caregiver Support: Navigating an Alzheimer's Diagnosis, Caregiver Survival and Finding Hope (Part 2).

    Welcome to the first episode of a special two-part series on Senior PrimeTime, where real people and real conversations come together. In this insightful discussion, host Bonnie Keith is joined by featured specialists Sivana Lavine Waller from the Alzheimer's Association and Geriatric Care Manager Ronda Wilkin to provide clear answers, practical guidance, and empowering hope for families navigating memory changes, brain health, and cognitive decline.

    This episode breaks down the core concepts every family needs to know about aging and cognitive vitality. Listeners will gain a clear understanding of the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's disease, learning that dementia serves as an umbrella term for a range of cognitive symptoms, while Alzheimer's is a specific progressive brain disease. The experts explore the physical reality of brain atrophy, using relatable visual concepts like the Swiss cheese analogy to explain how brain tissue loss impacts memory, reasoning, behavior, and daily independent function.

    Beyond medical definitions, the episode focuses heavily on proactive prevention, brain longevity, and lifestyle risk reduction. Drawing from clinical research and landmark studies like US POINTER, the specialists share actionable ways to build cognitive resilience up to twenty years before symptoms appear. Key topics include the critical heart-brain connection, the cognitive benefits of physical exercise, adopting a Mediterranean diet, and keeping the mind active through social engagement. The conversation also highlights overlooked health factors, explaining how untreated hearing loss places extra strain on the brain and accelerates social isolation.

    Listeners will also learn practical steps for establishing baseline cognitive health, including how to request free annual cognitive screenings during Medicare Annual Wellness Visits starting at age sixty-five. Finally, the guests guide families through distinguishing normal age-related forgetfulness, such as occasionally misplacing car keys, from early warning signs of dementia, such as forgetting how keys work or becoming disoriented in familiar surroundings. By recognizing mild cognitive impairment early, older adults and caregivers can access timely support and take proactive control of their health journey.

    Caring for Aging Parents in Denial: Caregiving Tips for Adult Children and When to Step In
    2026/08/19
    Caring for Aging Parents in Denial: Caregiving Tips for Adult Children and When to Step In What happens when you begin noticing changes in an aging parent—but they insist everything is fine? Caring for aging parents is challenging. Episode 6 dives into the realities adult children face when caring for aging parents who may be in denial. Host Bonnie Keith is joined by Monica Smith, Certified Senior Advisor, and Angelica Lopez, Gerontologist, along with Joyce Robertson of the Foundation for Senior Services.

They share caregiving tips, tips on how to recognize early warning signs, and how to provide support without compromising independence. Discover strategies for emergency planning and managing difficult conversations, all aimed at helping families through the complex aging journeyYou’ll learn how to recognize changes that may require attention, including:• Difficulty managing bills or medications• Falls, unexplained bruises, or changes in mobility• Getting lost in familiar places• Changes in personal grooming or household routines• Weight loss, poor nutrition, or increasing isolation• Damage to the car or concerns about driving• Misplacing objects in unusual or unsafe places• Behavior or memory changes that interfere with daily lifeThe conversation also explores the difference between normal age-related changes and patterns that may require a medical evaluation. Monica and Angelica explain why documenting changes and establishing a cognitive baseline can help families communicate more clearly with healthcare providers.But recognizing the signs is only the beginning.What do you do when your parent refuses help? How can you introduce in-home support without making them feel as though they are losing control? When is it time to discuss driving, assisted living, memory care, or a power of attorney? And what happens when siblings disagree about what their parent needs?This episode offers practical ways to begin these difficult conversations, including:• Starting with small, nonthreatening forms of assistance• Framing help around safety, independence, and quality of life• Involving trusted physicians, religious leaders, neighbors, or other professionals• Presenting a caregiver as a personal assistant when appropriate• Offering realistic transportation and care alternatives• Bringing in an objective care manager when family members cannot agree• Creating an emergency and long-term care plan before a crisis occursThe discussion also recognizes the emotional and physical toll caregiving can take.

Daniel shares surprising insights on beneficiary designations, funding your trust, and selecting the right trustee — including why family isn’t always the best choice.

  • Senior Fitness and Fall Prevention: Strength and Balance Exercises for Aging in Place

    Senior Fitness and Fall Prevention: Strength and Balance Exercises for Aging in Place
    2026/06/17
    Senior Fitness and Fall Prevention: Strength and Balance Exercises for Aging in Place What if one simple movement could help you feel stronger, steadier, safer, and more confident in your everyday life?Many older adults believe it may be too late to begin exercising, build strength, or improve balance — but this episode challenges that belief in the most encouraging and practical way. Aging well is not just about the number of birthdays we have celebrated. It is also about how we care for our bodies, how we protect our independence, and how we support our confidence through movement, mobility, and mindset.In this episode of Senior PrimeTime, host Bonnie Keith is joined by Joyce Robertson, CEO of The Foundation for Senior Services, for a powerful conversation about senior fitness, fall prevention, strength, balance, flexibility, and staying independent as we age.Our special guests, Dr. Susan Layfield and Dr. Desiree Williams, Doctors of Physical Therapy, share their expert insight on why movement matters so deeply for older adults. Together, they explain how even simple, targeted exercises can make a meaningful difference in daily life — from getting out of a chair more easily, to walking with more stability, to feeling safer at home, to reducing the risk of falls.This episode explores important questions that many seniors, adult children, and family caregivers quietly wonder about. Is exercise really safe for older adults? Is it ever too late to start? Why is walking helpful, but often not enough by itself? What happens when strength begins to decline? And how can small changes in movement help preserve independence, dignity, and quality of life?Dr. Layfield and Dr. Williams also discuss warning signs that families should pay attention to, such as shuffling, holding onto furniture while walking, avoiding stairs, struggling to rise from a chair, or becoming fearful of falling. These signs can often appear gradually, but they may be important clues that strength, balance, or mobility need attention before a fall occurs.You will hear practical guidance on exercises and movement habits that can support safer aging, including sit-to-stands, balance work, strengthening movements, flexibility, and gentle practices such as Tai Chi. The conversation also highlights how movement can support not only the body, but also confidence, coordination, posture, brain health, and emotional well-being.This is not a conversation about becoming an athlete or pushing beyond your limits. It is about learning how to move better, feel stronger, and take realistic steps toward greater safety and independence. Whether you are already active, just getting started, recovering from a setback, or helping a loved one navigate mobility concerns, this episode offers encouragement, education, and practical takeaways you can use in everyday life.For family caregivers, this conversation is especially important. It can be difficult to know when to step in, what signs to look for, or how to encourage a loved one without making them feel limited or afraid. This episode helps reframe movement as a source of empowerment, not pressure — and as one of the most important tools we have for aging with confidence.It is never too late to begin. One small movement can lead to more strength. More strength can lead to more stability. More stability can lead to more confidence. And more confidence can help older adults continue living with greater freedom, safety, and purpose. Senior Primetime: Embracing Movement and Fall Prevention in Aging Explore how staying active through mindful movement like Tai Chi and strength training can profoundly impact seniors' independence, safety, and mental vitality. Join Bonnie Keith as she hosts a powerful conversation with physical therapy experts Desiree Williams and Susan Layfield, uncovering practical tips to age gracefully with confidence.Key Topics:The importance of senior fitness and misconceptions surrounding exercise safetyThe role of strength, balance, and flexibility in fall preventionHow Tai Chi enhances mobility, posture, and cognitive healthPractical home safety tips for fall-proofing and hazard removalStrategies to overcome fear of falling and regain confidenceThe significance of personalized physical therapy and mobile wellness optionsThe impact of movement on conditions like Parkinson’s, arthritis, and cognitive declineEncouragement to start small: sit-to-stands, footwear checks, and balanced routinesChapters00:00 The Transformative Power of Physical Activity06:47 Maintaining Independence Through Strength11:51 Overcoming Challenges After Surgery13:27 Beyond Walking: A Holistic Approach to Fitness15:26 Recognizing Behavioral Changes in Seniors20:29 Confronting the Fear of Falling24:17 Home Safety: Preventing Falls26:49 Personalized Physical Therapy Solutions31:54 Building Lifelong Habits in Seniors36:40 The Importance of Variety in Exercise38:18 Physical Therapy for Various Conditions45:49 ...
