Before the pandemic, our guest Lara Garey had family members and clinicians coming in and out of her home every day to assist in providing care for her husband Tom, a veteran of the Air Force who lives with ALS. Once quarantine restrictions began, all of that that help stopped -- until recently. 

This week, hear from Lara about her caregiving journey. We’ll also learn about the Respite Relief Program, a free benefit for military and veteran caregivers from caregiving advocate Lee Woodruff, co-founder of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. Lastly, we’ll discuss the financial side of caregiving with AARP Financial Ambassador Jean Chatzky.
