This episode originally released on March 11, 2024. While Don and I are taking a much needed break, we wanted to share one of our most popular and valuable episodes in case you missed it. And if you already heard it, it couldn't hurt to listen again because the episode is filled with powerful informstion for keeping your brain as healthy as you possibly can! Have a happy and healthy 2026...and thank you all for listening!

Don and I both agree that this episode ranks as one of our favorites to date. Our amazing guest, Dr. Mitchell Clionsky is a board certified neuropsychologist with more than 30 years of clinical experience and has treated more than 20,000 patients with cognitive problems. Dr. Clionsky understands the toll of memory disorders as both a caring professional and as the son of his mother Muriel, who died in 2008 from dementia.

Dr. Clionsky holds staff privileges on four hospitals and in addition to dementia, he evaluates ADHD, concussions, and a variety of neurological conditions. From years of patient data, Dr. Clionsky and his wife/partner Emily Clionsky, MD have developed the Memory Orientation Screening Test or MOST, a highly valid measure that provides a single, numerical score that reflects cognitive status and change over time. MOST helps identify -cognitive problems- earlier in the deterioration process so health professionals can intervene and help their patients live better lives.

Now Dr. Clionsky and his wife, Emily, have taken what they do in their consulting room and have written a new book, Dementia Prevention: Using Your Head to Save Your Brain. It's an exciting, fun to read, motivating, and potentially life changing read that is the culmination of 45 years of extensive clinical evaluation and treatment. Scientifically detailed and vetted by Johns Hopkins University doctors and content experts, it is translated into terms that almost everyone will understand.

8 out of 10 people over 55 say that Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are a major concern. Well now there is something that can be done. Dementia is not inevitable, but for 1 out of 2 people it is preventable. And we are so excited to share all about this fascinating breakthrough. Enjoy!!

In Part 2 of our powerful conversation with elder care attorney Anthony Lanzone, we continue pulling back the curtain on why elder abuse and neglect cases are so hard to fight — and what families must know to protect their loved ones.

In this episode we dig into:
• Why arbitration agreements are hidden in nursing home paperwork and how they stack the deck against families
• How residents and families unknowingly waive their right to a jury trial
• The truth about nursing home bankruptcies and how they’re used to avoid accountability
• What happens when fines are issued and why residents rarely benefit
• Why the government’s oversight system is failing
• How private equity has reshaped long-term care for profit
• What you can do as a caregiver to advocate, protect your loved one, and push back

Anthony brings decades of experience litigating elder abuse cases, and his honesty and clarity are invaluable. If you care about someone in long-term care - or may one day - this episode is essential listening.

This conversation is emotional, eye-opening, and empowering. And it reinforces a truth we live by:

💜 We can’t wait for the system to fix itself. We have to fight — together.

Watch Part 1 first if you haven’t — it sets the foundation.

The moment a loved one lands in long‑term care, everything feels urgent and unclear. We’ve been there—rushed discharges, impossible forms, promises that don’t match reality—and we wanted a straight answer on what legal accountability looks like when neglect or abuse causes real harm. That’s why we sat down with elder abuse attorney Anthony Lanzone to map the path from pain to action without sugarcoating the struggle.

In Episode 113, we talk about why nursing home cases are so hard, what families can realistically expect, and how accountability actually happens. We share the steps to document harm, find the right lawyer, and protect your peace of mind while you pursue justice.

• systemic barriers that shield long-term care providers
• why elder neglect requires proof beyond simple negligence
• how damages caps shape which cases lawyers can take
• settlements versus trials and real risk trade-offs
• punitive damages and when they apply
• CMS liens and how they reduce awards
• practical steps to document abuse or neglect
• where to file complaints if you cannot sue
• why memorializing misconduct still matters
