For the full hour is Kate Abate, Gerontologist, Olympian Athlete, Healthspan Implementation Research & Development. As a gerontologist she offers insight about elder abuse under our very noses; along the continuum, from intentional to not so intentional. Together we slogged through an unwieldy and useful conversation about our elders as we collectively strive for better aging outcomes, or just plain better aging scenarios. A short reading list of Kate’s recommendations includes: Louise Aaronson, “Elderhood: Redefining Aging, Transforming Medicine, Reimagining Life,” “Atul Gawande, “On Being MOrtal,” and Chip Conley, “Wisdom at Work,” and the eldercarelocater: https://eldercare.acl.gov/Public/Index.aspx.
