Upcoming Broadcasts

Filmmaker and Actress, Susie Singer Carter, joins us for the entire program for a conversation with Dr. Mara about her new documentary film, No Country For Old People, based on Susie's own lived experience as a family caregiver for her mother in a nursing home, showing the dark side of even the best of the nursing homes. In her film, Susie uses her own mom's story to take deep look into the the systematic crisis that has been going on for decades in long term care with the hope that, with greater awareness, we can, as a society, make real and positive changes in how we care for our elders.
