Planning for aging with dignity as CA grows older

Episode Summary

For every one older adult, there were once five people under the age of 15. Now the ratio is almost one to one. In response to this demographic shift, Governor Gavin Newsom has called for a master plan on aging to ensure elders have the care and support they need to age with dignity. Jeannee Parker Martin, CEO of Leading Age California, has long pushed for such a plan, and shares some insight into what its priorities could be.
