Aging Wisely: Revitalizing Elder Care

January 24, 2022

Recorded January 19, 2022

Presentation Summary

  1. How can eldercare be better? What is needed in terms of supportive services, local planning and improvement, workforce, housing, transportation, geriatric medical care, and the 5 M’s?
  2. How can caregiving and caring be better? We’ll consider income and benefits, inclusion, respect, and employer flexibility.
  3. Why not now? What policies are needed and how does politics play a role?
