On this week’s episode we discuss the substantial effect COVID-19 has had on the aging population, and in particular, on our seniors in residential facility care. We provide insights on how holistically structuring our environments and engaging our communities determines if residents of any age thrive, but particularly the vulnerable such as the elderly. We then further analyze the way we as a society treat our senior populations, and explore the extent to which our culture truly values the elderly. Finally, we discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted these glaring cultural inequities and offer insight on what we can do moving forward.
