About the Author: Michael Dargie
Jennifer’s personal story is fascinating and gives insights into places and times that have been in the news but are truly remote from our lives. She brings a dose of reality to them. Her focus on “older care” (certainly a better term than “elder care”) is forward looking, positive and necessary.
Thank you for listening, and for the kind words—Jennifer is very special. I love that term “Older Care,” too. It’s simply, just, better.
