Senior Care Live: Recent Episodes
Senior Care Live
Senior Care Live is a different kind of radio program. Our mission is to provide information and resources for those caring for an elderly loved one. For example, how to remain independent at home and what services are available, when to move to a care facility, what facility level of care is right for your needs, how to pay for the high cost of care, what are the legal implication of the decisions you've made, how to care for the caregiver, and more. We will also shine a bright light on our non-profit organization of the month, recognize our "caregiver friendly" workplace of the month, and have some fun with our Senior Care Live recipe of the week!
