In this episode of Advice From Your Advocates Podcast, elder law attorney Bob Mannor speaks with Vincent Tilford from the Hannan Center about advocacy for older adults, caregivers, and families navigating aging and dementia care.

They discuss how ageism impacts older adults—and their caregivers—along with the growing challenges families face when supporting loved ones with dementia, chronic illness, or increasing care needs. Vincent shares how community organizations like the Hannan Center help reduce isolation, promote independence, and provide meaningful support for both older adults and family caregivers.

The conversation also explores how art and creativity can improve health outcomes for older adults, including those living with cognitive decline, and why caregiver education, health care navigation, and advocacy are essential as dementia diagnoses rise nationwide.

This episode is especially valuable for caregivers, elder care professionals, and families seeking practical insight into dementia care, caregiver support, and building community-based solutions that honor dignity at every stage of aging.
