New Episode of The Senior Care Podcast by LivHOME Discusses Long-Distance Caregiving

Suggests Practical Ways to Close the Gap, Build Relationships

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 18, 2008 -- LivHOME, the nation's largest provider of professionally led at-home care for seniors, has released a new episode of The Senior Care Podcast by LivHOME that discusses the challenges of long-distance caregiving and practical ways to close the gap.

In Episode 5, LivHOME Care Manager Sharon Rosenfeld discusses the challenges of providing care to senior family members who live apart from their grown children. Long-distance caregiving has become a necessity for many seniors as families find themselves living at greater distances.

During the interview, Rosenfeld emphasizes the importance of noticing the little things, such as whether a senior is taking his or her medicine and paying attention to personal hygiene, as a clue to understanding whether it is time to begin providing long-distance care. She discusses ways to make the experience less lonely for seniors and explores the roles a long-distance caregiver must play in emergencies.

Episode 5 of The Senior Care Podcast by LivHOME can be found at the podcast's homepage (www.livhome.com/podcast). Listeners can subscribe to the show via RSS feed, email or through the iTunes store. Episode 5 has a runtime of 11 minutes, 45 seconds.
