Empowering Seniors to Age on Their Own Terms: New Podcast by Lisa and Adellina Cini
The captivating mother-daughter duo, Lisa and Adellina Cini, ask aging adults or those caring for someone who is, "What's Your Next Move?" helping everyone to age on their own terms with the knowledge and freedom to decide how and where to age. Some may find senior living the perfect solution while others decide to age in place or in a multigenerational household. Lisa and Adellina share the pros and cons of each option and reveal how their own journey helped them advocate for others with humorous stories that engage and educate. Their unwavering passion for designing spaces that celebrate family bonds shine through as they share innovative thinking, design hacks, and transformative solutions, empowering individuals to age on their own terms.
Lisa and Adellina emphasize, "If you are aging or caring for someone who is, we're here to teach you the ins and outs of aging in place. Every episode is a personal guide to all the technology, design tips, and creative solutions you'll need to live life to the fullest. Get ready to discover what is available and determine the resources that will work best for you. Caregiving isn't always pretty and it's far better to plan ahead before a crisis occurs with the latest technology your loved one may need to keep them safe and independent. For example: Mom fell. Dad's in the hospital. Mom broke both arms. Dad broke his hip. My husband has MS. How do we handle the bathroom because I'm worried about having to wipe mom or dad? How do we shower and shave them without taking away their dignity?"
The podcasts cover a wide range of topics, including the magic of bidet toilet seats which not only save toilet paper, are antimicrobial and antibacterial while promoting hygiene and comfort, the importance of optimizing technology, creating visual cues, and enhancing ease in everyday life.
Lisa and Adellina's love for design strategies reduces stress and confusion for seniors and promotes freedom and independence which is evident in their unique "L.O.V.E. method" ? Light, Optimize, Visualize, and Ease. This method focuses on leveraging technology, design, and thoughtful solutions to enhance the lives of seniors. The L.O.V.E. method includes:
- Light: Seniors need more light than younger individuals. Adequate lighting can prevent falls, support circadian rhythms, and promote overall well-being.
- Optimize: Optimizing spaces with features like heat lamps in showers, multifunctional grab bars, and smart devices like Alexa or Google can simplify daily tasks and enhance independence.
- Visualize: Visual cues play a crucial role in helping seniors navigate their environment. Contrasting colors, clear labels, and well-designed spaces with minimal obstructions can make life easier for seniors.
- Ease: Designing spaces to minimize obstacles and promote flow can help seniors move around with ease. Small changes, like creating circular paths, can reduce frustration and enhance independence.
"So, if you or your loved ones are aging, or if you're caring for someone who is, take the next step, and tune in to Lisa and Adellina's podcast. Discover what's available and determine the resources that will work best for you. Together, we can redefine aging and ensure that every senior can live their golden years on their own terms," adds Cini.
