On this episode, number 17 of the All Things Local podcast, I speak with Tara Russo, Executive Director of Elder Care Services in DeKalb. She shares her personal background and commitment to seniors in our community.

Her college education began in nursing but she quickly found that her heart was in social work, and specifically working with seniors.

She talks about the wrap-around services her organization offers to help seniors in all facets of their life, to live their best possible lives at home.

Despite the challenge of the pandemic, she has worked to form creative partnerships to serve our seniors, and even to assist other nonprofits to continue their work too.

I hope you enjoy our conversation.
