    Looking To The Future Of Ageing with Lidia Conci
    Dec 1 2019
    Through this podcast series, we have seen a multitude of ways to embrace ageing with purpose, and the stories shared are inspiring change from many places. If you’ve been inspired by what you’ve heard, there are many ways you can help change ageing for the better.
    Avanti Care’s Managing Director Lidia Conci has connected a wealth of experts and knowledge to establish her beliefs in consensus; that change is needed and available. But changing the aged care models requires all our efforts to provide the best lives for others, so they can provide their wisdom back to us.
    Lidia Conci believes ageing with purpose means to care for the welfare of others, establish connections with people of all ages, and advocate for better standards of living. Her call to action is empowering for our own ageing process, but also provides our communities with people who are willing to give back in meaningful ways, so we can all age with purpose.---Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and our Avanti Care newsletter, to keep informed and ensure you never miss an episode.

  • Why We Need To Rethink Aged Care with Carol Davy

    Why We Need To Rethink Aged Care with Carol Davy
    Nov 24 2019
    While we want to provide the best care for our elderly loved ones, we can’t always do this when they live at home, especially if their community isn’t set up for ageing with purpose. If we chose to use aged care facilities, we want to send our loved ones to places where we know they’ll be looked after and where hopefully they can continue to flourish as they live.
    The Society of St Hilarion Aged Care are exemplars for providing meaningful aged care that helps their residents flourish. With Carol Davy helming the operation as CEO, St Hilarion have continued to innovate and contribute to the active voices asking for best practice in the care of the elderly.
    Carol Davy believes ageing with purpose means focusing on wellbeing in every sense of the word, and the private sector providing the appropriate care to facilitate this. Carol knows that giving people purpose means they’ll live longer, and she provides her first-hand experience in helping her clients live long significant lives.---Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and our Avanti Care newsletter, to keep informed and ensure you never miss an episode.

  • What's An Age Friendly City with Peter Tsokas

    What's An Age Friendly City with Peter Tsokas
    Nov 17 2019
    When you use the infrastructure in your neighborhood or city do you think about how you would access places and services without the full use of your mind or body? The idea of an age-friendly city seems strange until you consider it deeply, it provides for people of all ages and defines an approach to serving every kind of person.
    Peter Tsokas is the CEO of the Unley Council in South Australia and understands ageing as well as anyone. Peter sits on multiple advisory boards for aged care, and under his management, the City of Unley has been recognised by the World Health Organisation for their work in providing for their aged community.
    Having engaged with many elderly citizens, Peter Tsokas believes ageing with purpose means living in a community that cares for your wellbeing and contributing to that community. Representing aged residents and providing them with services to help engage them in a network is explained from the Government's perspective, and Peter recounts how he has connected his constituents to a purposeful old age.---Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and our Avanti Care newsletter, to keep informed and ensure you never miss an episode.

  • Understanding Neuroplasticity with Prof. Lorimer Moseley

    Understanding Neuroplasticity with Prof. Lorimer Moseley
    Nov 10 2019
    We often think that once we age to a certain point our brains start to fail us, and it’s true that the conductive sheathing around our neurons, myelin, is no longer produced after about 50 years old. But we can always shift myelin, we can always learn something new, no matter our age.
    An expert on neuroplasticity, the repurposing of grey matter, Lorimer Moseley is the Professor of Clinical Neurosciences and Chair of Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and has years of experience studying the brain. He has been a lifelong learner and advocates for everyone to enjoy learning throughout life and practice the changing of our cognitive strengths over time.
    Lorimer Moseley believes ageing with purpose means to be adaptive and intentional in our changes over time, especially with our minds and with our bodies. Professor Moseley takes the complex science behind neuroplasticity and gives us take home tips to adapt to an ever changing world and to be purposeful in our changes.---Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and our Avanti Care newsletter, to keep informed and ensure you never miss an episode.

  • Understanding The Science Of Pain with Prof. Lorimer Moseley

    Understanding The Science Of Pain with Prof. Lorimer Moseley
    Nov 3 2019
    Physical pain is something we wish to avoid, we fear oncoming pain and it can often seem insurmountable until it passes. So when pain defines our life, it stops us from doing the things we love and spending time with the people we love.
    Lorimer Moseley is the Professor of Clinical Neurosciences and Chair of Physiotherapy at the University of South Australia and has spent his career researching the science of pain. His many discoveries have led him to publish books on pain and publish articles that help others understand and overcome pain.
    Lorimer Moseley believes ageing with purpose means to overcome the neurological barriers of pain that stop us from interacting with others and doing the things that give us meaning. Pain science and the methods to overcome pain are explained to give agency back to those who suffer and are debilitated by pain so they can return to ageing with purpose.---Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and our Avanti Care newsletter, to keep informed and ensure you never miss an episode.
