76. Does Western Society Fail its Elders‪?‬ Preconceived

During the COVID pandemic, it has become even more imperative to examine how we treat our elder generations. In this episode, Zale is joined by geriatrician Dr. Samir Sinha, who sheds light on Western society's general treatment of our elderly and how our system has perhaps failed in many regards. What is the ideal living situation for people as they age? Retirement homes? Independent living with home care? Moving in with kids and grandkids? In the latter part of this episode, CEO of Parachute, Pamella Fuselli, joins the podcast to speak about the risk of falls as we age and how that is being influenced by COVID.
