Caregiver and gerontological social worker Jackie Tanner joins host Jeff Sammut to share her unique perspective on aging, caregiving, and the growing needs of older adults. Jackie reflects on how her own experience as a young caregiver inspired her life's work, and how she is now caring for her firefighter father. She discusses the most common challenges facing seniors and their families today, why the demand for gerontological social workers continues to grow as the population ages, and the changes she expects to see in aging services in the years ahead. Plus, she offers insights and advice drawn from decades of supporting older adults and their caregivers.
