Still, there are unique stigmas and challenges that come with age. What are the greatest needs for older adults? What challenges are they facing that younger folks may be unaware of? And what are the benefits and joys of getting older? In this episode, we talk with older adults to hear their experiences, concerns — and their wisdom that only time can give.
