Living Well with Purpose

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 6 août 2024 • Durée 42:49

We all hope that we can age with as much independence, purpose, and well-being as possible in our later years. Unfortunately, aging is never so straightforward and we will all face our own unique challenges and complexities as we get older. So, with all this uncertainty, how do we get the most out of this later stage of life?

In our second episode of the Age of Aging, we explore stories about maintaining dignity, health, and a sense of meaning in our older years.

Our first story will look at a new model for care called “Supported Decision-Making,” which aims to give those with impairment greater autonomy for as long as possible. For our second, Dr. Claudia Kawas discusses her research on the oldest people in our population and what they can tell us about aging. Then, we will hear about the late Carl Duzen, who began creating art as his dementia from Alzheimer’s progressed. Our final story will cover Memory Cafés, a major program at Penn and beyond, which provides a safe space for art and community for those living with dementia.

Do I Want to Know?

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

mardi 23 juillet 2024 • Durée 45:54

Clinical advancements have made it easier than ever to learn your personal risk of developing age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Through genetic testing or biomarker measurement, you can learn if you’re more likely than your peers to develop dementia as you age.

Do you want to know?

In our first episode of the Age of Aging, we explore exactly that question.

First, we’ll hear about the role of genetic counselors in guiding people through the process of genetic testing. In our second story, Dr. Emily Largent discusses how people react to learning their level of risk for Alzheimer’s. Then Dr. Shana Stites discusses the way stigma impacts those with cognitive impairment and those wanting to learn their risk.

Finally, we’ll hear an update on how the Penn Memory Center is rolling out the new prescription Alzheimer’s disease treatment, Leqembi.

Holiday Caregiving Tips

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

mardi 26 novembre 2024 • Durée 29:13

The holidays are a time for celebration, joy, and being with loved ones. Unfortunately, it can also be a time that brings stress and anxiety. Between travel, shopping, and managing family dynamics, this season can feel overwhelming. For caregivers and individuals with dementia, these challenges are often magnified. Travel and social gatherings can pose unique difficulties, leaving many caregivers wondering: What will the holidays look like for my loved one and me this year?

To help you answer this question, we sat down with Director of Social Work at the Penn Memory Center, Alison Lynn, to explore strategies and tips for tackling the holidays.

First, Alison discusses the difficult but important task of adjusting your expectations for what is possible this year as a caregiver. Then, she lays out some tips for navigating holiday travel, whether by car or plane, with someone who has dementia. Finally, Alison gives advice for managing the actual holiday event, including how other family members can help and the importance of communication during this process.

Building Trust

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

mardi 12 novembre 2024 • Durée 29:05

Providing equitable aging research and care faces a major barrier: minorities that are disproportionately impacted by dementia are greatly underrepresented. Data shows that Black and African American individuals are twice as a likely to develop dementia. Hispanic and Latino populations are one and a half times as likely. At the core of this issue is what researchers call social and structural determinants of health (SSDOH). These are the ways our health is impacted by social factors in our environment, poverty, racism, and limited access to healthy food. Outreach is the central way research centers, such as those at the Penn Memory Center, attempt to address these disparities. Outreach coordinators attempt to establish ties with local communities, providing educational talks on aging as well encouraging members of the community to sign up for clinical trials. While important, much more is needed in order to overcome these disparities.

On this episode of the Age of Aging, we explore the disproportionality of dementia’s impact on underrepresented groups and how outreach efforts seek to address that.

We’ll first learn how PMC Outreach Coordinator, Morgann Adams works to establish ties with black and African American communities in Philadelphia. We will then hear from Dr. Eddie Lee about how social factors physically change a person’s brain as they age. Finally, Reverend Leroy Miles discusses the relationship between Enon Tabernacle Church and the Penn Memory Center and the aging needs of his community.

What's Your Voting Plan?

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mardi 29 octobre 2024 • Durée 27:04

This November, millions of Americans will head to the polls for the 2024 presidential election. But while the right to vote is essential to our democracy, unfortunately, the process of voting can present unique challenges for individuals with disabilities like dementia, often requiring outside assistance. If you’re a caregiver, how much can you help someone vote? What kind of assistance is available to those with dementia?

On episode 3 of the Age of Aging, we look at voting, and what the process means for individuals with dementia and their caregivers.

We begin by talking with Dr. Jason Karlawish who discusses the legal framework around voting capacity and shares his perspective on how to define a person’s capacity to vote. Then, voting advocate TJ DeLuca provides some important information on assisting the voting process for individuals with disabilities. Finally, we’ll hear from a voter who was falsely told he could not help his wife with dementia vote in 2020.

Arts on the Mind

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

mardi 15 octobre 2024 • Durée 27:53

An Alzheimer's doctor goes to the opera...This isn't the start of a bad joke; it's the result of a collaboration between the Penn Memory Center and leaders of Philadelphia's arts community. The first of its kind at PMC, the Arts on the Mind Festival explored the intersection of the mind and art over a two-month event span. Music, literature, visual art, and film were all featured as mediums to better understand the importance of art in our lives and even how art can be used to help those with cognitive impairment.

On episode 2 of the Age of Aging’s second season, we take a look at the Arts on the Mind Festival to understand just how essential the arts and creativity are for us as aging humans.

We start at the first event of Arts on the Mind at the Franklin Institute for a discussion between Dr. Jason Karlawish and special guest Anne Basting on the mind and creativity. Then, we’ll hear from the festival’s creators on how their vision evolved over time and why it ultimately became what it did. Finally, we’ll examine the deeper connection between art and the brain, asking: Could creative expression be more than just a source of joy? Could it be a therapeutic tool for those with cognitive challenges?

In Sickness and in Health

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mardi 1 octobre 2024 • Durée 22:12

Over the past two years, the world has seen major developments in Alzheimer’s disease treatment with the release of two new medications: Lecanamab, marketed as Leqembi, and Donanemab, marketed as Kisunla. These two treatments are the first of their kind to reduce the physical signs of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain and potentially slow down the progression of cognitive decline.

In the premiere episode of season 2 of the Age of Aging, we explore these new anti-amyloid therapies, what they are, and how they may change the lives of patients and caregivers.

We begin with the personal story of a couple who have participated in the Donanemab clinical trials over the past three years, sharing their firsthand experiences with the medication. Project Manager of this trial at the Penn Memory Center, Melissa Kelley, provides insights into the journey of these participants. Additionally, Dr. Sanjeev Vaishnavi offers an expert breakdown of anti-amyloid therapies, explaining what they are, how they work, and what they might mean for the future of Alzheimer’s disease treatment.
