New podcast episode features LivHOME Chief Professional Officer Steve Barlam discussing seniors' desire for independence, which actually, he says, is a need for interdependence.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 1, 2009 -- As America prepares to celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, LivHOME (www.livhome.com), the nation's largest provider of professionally led at-home care for seniors, has released Episode 15 of the Senior Care Podcast by LivHOME, entitled The Myth of Independence.

In this episode, LivHOME Chief Professional Officer Steve Barlam explores seniors' desire for independence. He explains that rather than independence, what seniors truly need is interdependence.

"Interdependence is all about giving and taking, or having seniors accept help with grace while creating opportunities for them to reciprocate," says Barlam.
He offers advice for family members and caregivers seeking to introduce the idea to seniors.

The episode can be found at the podcast's homepage (www.livhome.com/podcast). Listeners can subscribe via RSS feed, email or through the iTunes store. The Myth of Independence has a runtime of 15 minutes.
