Weekly Wrap - November 21, 2025

This week on HealthCap Weekly Wrap, we tackle what happens when senior living professionals skip the small but critical steps in care. From a powerful STAT News story about providers omitting the suicide question on the PHQ-9 depression screen, to the latest 2024 ACC/AHA blood pressure guidelines and how they tie into dementia prevention, this episode explores the intersection of liability, best practices, and resident well-being.

We revisit Mather Institute's 2021 Stumbling Blocks report on the real barriers older adults face with physical activity, and highlight their more recent mindful eating flyer—just in time for Thanksgiving. Plus, we explore trends from Mather's NEXT Volume III report and legal risk insights from LW Consulting's latest white paper. We wrap with the 2024 Innovative Research on Aging Awards, which showcase practical, resident-centered solutions that are already making a difference.
