Episode 8: Love Thy Neighborhood

With Americans living longer than ever, there’s a good chance many of us will age in place well into our nineties. How will we gain access to health and social services? Will the most frail among us be neglected? The folks at Lifeforce In Later Years (LiLY) are determined to prevent this from happening.
