You know that feeling when you’re doing everything right for your Aging parent and it still feels impossible to keep up? That’s where today’s episode comes in. I’m joined by Kara JVA from the PACE program—an all-inclusive care model that helps older adults live safely at home while still receiving medical care, social support, and even transportation. We dig into eligibility, bust common myths, and share real-life examples of how PACE changes lives for both seniors and their families. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, this conversation is your reminder that help is out there—and it might be closer than you think.
