During this conversation recorded in front of a live audience at St. Johns in Rochester, a panel of experts explores issues important to older adults and those who care for them. The discussion includes points about social isolation, maintaining friendships, caregiving, and how to reconcile the different factors of aging. It’s all part of Aging Together in New York, a statewide, multi-platform public media initiative addressing social isolation among older adults.
