How do we help older people continue to live fulfilling and productive lives? As a state with a rapidly aging population, Mainers are working to answer this question. Today we explore the special needs of older individuals—and other individuals who are ‘differently abled’—with Jill Johanning and Chris Delenick of Alpha One. We also speak with Kate Adams of Aging Excellence, a non-medical in-home care agency that helps older people ‘age in place.’
