How beyond cool to find that someone posted an indiegogo crowdfunding request in Dec 2013 also committed to overthrowing our nation's current elder care culture, when older people seem typically minimized & too often left to decline as quietly as possible.
Decades in marketing taught me that having an idea before its time can be as futile as having one after. Pioneer Network has supported a culture of life-affirming aging since 1997. It calls for "radical change in the culture of aging so when
one goes to a nursing home/ community-based setting it is to thrive,
not to decline."
Glory be, I've been doing it since 1974! Our ultimate goal is the same, but our methods are wondrously different.
What ARE my goals for radically changing the experience of aging, from our youngest years to our final days? Ah, that's the question!
