Reverse: A podcast for the senior caregiving community: Recent Episodes

Anna Edmonds

Reverse is a conversational podcast for people caring for elderly adults. Transitioning into the caregiving role often results in a parental role reversal of sorts as the adult child begins making many of the decisions for the aging parent. Host Anna Gelbman Edmonds interviews experts in various senior care-related fields on a wide range of topics in the areas of elder law, healthcare, dementia, finance, in-home care, senior living communities, technology, and more.

Who wants to talk about end-of-life issues? Only clergy and funeral directors, surely! But we all should because neglecting to have the hard conversations and make plans only leaves behind a mess for our loved ones. Sometimes very big messes. In this episode we talk with Heather Leigh, an end-of-life specialist, who shares how and why we should tackle these talks with our family, doctors and lawyers. And she does it with humor and some great stories.  

Reach out to Heather Leigh at Greenhaven Memorial Gardens & Life Tribute Center, or call 803.419.7110.
