This blog is a frank conversation about what it means to age in our society.
I want us to consider what a wider range of diverse experiences when we talk about aging. I want to reflect on how we, as a community, want our neighbors and our mothers and fathers and our grandparents to live out their latter decades of life. I want us to consider each one of their voices as we strive to meet their needs.
Join me for weekly discussions about what it means to be a senior in South Florida and how we can and should respond to the growing needs of the aging population.
