Caring in America
We are the Podcast for Caregivers and the Care Recipient.
As Rosalynn Carter stated, There are only four kinds of people in the world — those that have been caregivers, those that are caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers.”
We introduce the Elder Care Experts, who provide their wisdom to educate about Care and all the components around it. Our goal is to make the Caregiver and the Care Recipient aware of as many Elder Care Resources as possible. We tell stories of Care in America. Stories of Love, Compassion, Frustration, Understanding and Patience in Elder Care.
