Senior Salute Radio brings timely information to leading edge Boomers and Seniors about issues involving care-giving and aging. Learn from both professionals and regular people going through the process with their families. Each week we will also Salute an incredible Senior.

Senior Salute Radio is presented by The Elder & Disability Law Firm of Victoria L. Collier.

Special Guests:

Founder and owner Mandy Merkel is a licensed speech pathologist and certified professional geriatric care manager with over 30 years of experience in the rehabilitation and long term care arena.

Christin Whittington/Energy Dancing in Balance Reflexology & Reiki

Energy Dancing in Balance was founded in 2009. It is dedicated to using energy healing to help your body de-stress, relax and relieve pain. Reflexology, Reiki, and other modalities are each just a vehicle because, in fact, the body heals itself.

Reflexology is like a foot massage — but better! Pressing on reflex areas in the feet stimulates the corresponding organs, glands and tissues located throughout the body. This promotes blood flow, moves lymph (the body’s natural cleaning mechanism), and creates deep relaxation. (There are also reflex points on the hands and ears.)

Reiki (“Divine Energy”) is a Japanese technique of “laying on hands” to reduce stress, enable relaxation and promote healing. Reiki affects energy fields that surround and penetrate the human body, and helps restore the body’s natural, balanced energy flow. (“Ki” is the Japanese form of “Chi” — the Chinese word for “energy.”)

Both these healing modalities can help lower your stress level and your blood pressure, reduce pain, and relieve anxiety.

Today’s Senior Salute goes to Helen Whittington for her independence and dedication to Aging in Place.

Thermography is completely safe and uses no radiation. Thermal imaging systems are an economical easy-to-use tool for examining and monitoring patients quickly and accurately.

A doctor can use Thermology image maps to determine if abnormal hot or cold areas are present. These hot and cold areas can relate to a number of conditions for which the FDA, Bureau of Medical Devices has approved the thermography procedure. These include, the screening for breast cancer, extra-cranial vessel disease (head and neck vessels), neuro-musculo-skeletal disorders and vascular disease of the lower extremities.

Expert Tips on Charitable Giving

00:00 /

Craig Frankel, Adam Gaslowitz, Stephen Berman, Donna Barwick, Ty Tippett

How much of the charitable planning should be tax-motivated and how much should be purpose-motivated? What is the difference between various forms of charitable giving? If you ever ask yourself these or similar questions, this episode of “Wealth Matters” – the radio show where we discuss the opportunities and challenges of preserving and managing wealth – is for you!

During this debut of “Wealth Matters”, attorneys Adam Gaslowitz and Craig Frankel interview Donna Barwick, Ty Tippett and Stephen Berman on the topic of charitable giving. The show is filled with important tips and hints of giving from both wealth management perspective and the perspective of effectively making a difference in the community.

Donna Barwick/Wilmington Trust Company

As a Senior Fiduciary Officer at Wilmington Trust Company, Donna brings to the table more than three decades of experience in trusts and estate planning. She previously served as a senior director in BNY Mellon’s Wealth Management group in Atlanta, specializing in wealth management and estate planning strategies for high-networth clients.

Donna shared that she gets to advise her clients not only how to give, but also what to give to. Donna recommends to utilize the Community Foundation in Atlanta as a great tool to find philanthropic organizations to support. Donna also started a great conversation during the show with this opinion: “If dollars don’t make a difference, donors will not stay engaged, so charities should let donors know how donations are used.

He also revealed how he got involved with the Shepherd Center Foundation and how it became his “biggest blessing.”
