Navigating the World with Your Aging Loved One -willGather, Nicole Will
“How can we transform care into a holistic journey that not only addresses practical needs but also integrates well-being, resilience, and comprehensive support systems to empower caregivers and enhance the quality of aging life?
Today, my guest is Mary Jo Saavedra, a nationally recognized gerontologist, author, and Aging Life Care Professional. With over a decade of experience in the aging and healthcare industry and walking alongside her mom who was living with Alzheimer's, Mary Jo founded Fireside Group, becoming a guide for care management services for seniors and their families. Grounded in values of compassion, innovation, and connection, Mary Jo's approach has deeply resonated with clients, families, solo agers, business professionals, and community members, establishing her as a trusted advocate and thought leader in the field.
Throughout our conversation, we look at Mary Jo's holistic approach to caregiving, discussing why it's essential and how it can be effectively implemented. We'll navigate through the often complex legal and financial challenges caregivers face and share strategies to prioritize health and wellness for both caregivers and their loved ones. From leveraging community resources to fostering emotional and social connections, addressing our own views on aging and sustaining caregiver resilience, we're covering it all. Plus, we'll get an exclusive insight into Mary Jo's resources including her HomeLife Design program and The Six Pillars of Aging Wellbeing, along with her latest passion project, the Soul Shift Journey Tours, and learn about her vision for the future of gerontology.
Thank you, Mary Jo, for supporting us in our holistic caregiving and for bringing Radical Amazement to us!”
