Code WACK!

Aging in place is hard. Could neighbors be an answer?

This time on Code WACK!

America is facing a looming crisis in caregiving with an aging population and scarce in-home care resources. Could neighborhood-based care networks offer answers? What becomes possible when they're in place?

To find out, we spoke with Dr. Mary-Elizabeth Harmon, a scientist-turned-storyteller, caregiver and founder of a business helping neighbors build caring communities and local economies through community villages.

She spent more than two years caring for her father, who lived with dementia, and is currently the unreimbursed caregiver for her elderly mother in Virginia. This is the second episode in a two-part series featuring Dr. Harmon.
